Dugaboy, sorry to disagree with you, but I like my 700 nitro and like shooting it. I like it so much that I have a 4 bore double being made. It will be here in December. Don't think you know how others feel about big bores. I enjoy shooting and collecting really big stuff and have for 25 years.I am not a "look at me guy" If you don't like them fine, but don't talk down to those of us that do like them. If others want to see my big bore stuff fine, but I do not go out of my way to show it off. A lot of people enjoy looking at the really big bores because the fairly unique and there are only a hand full of them around. I have made a lot of sacrifices to buy these rather expensive guns over the years. I like having stuff that not everyone else has. No argument about a 470 or 500 getting the job done too, as I like them also. I guess my point is don't put down others just cause you don't get a kick out of owning a really big bore.
