Continental Arms Belgian 470 NE Opinions?
#58790 - 14/06/06 07:34 AM

Here's a Belgian 470 NE with extractors. Looks a lot like a Merkel.

Any ideas on quality & construction?

Thanks

That action is very typical of many Belgian doubles.
Much of the engraving appears non original.
In my experience they can be very good or very ordinary depending on the maker.
I shoot a Belgian .470 myself and while it is not by one of the top makers from that country it is a reliable accurate gun.

Jagermeister:
if you are not buying this rifle for artwork, then it looks like a decent utilitarian type piece.
I do agree with 470 in that the engraving looks to be done after the fact. and imo is fairly crude
