Hello CptCurl,

Thanks for the reply.

You are welcome to stop by anytime, and bring along your 577.

Hello xausa,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I really like the chin strap. I think its the stock maker showing off his skill by adding these little extra touches, like the shadow lines around the cheeks and the cheekpiece.

Hello Waidmannsheil,

Thanks for your reply.

One of the features that I really like about this rifle's stock is the "Palm Swell".

This feature goes a long way to reduce recoil. The Swell fills your hand when you grip the rifle, and actually pushes your hand rearward during recoil. This adds the weight of your hand, wrist, forearm, and part of your upper arm, to the weight of the rifle. And ..... this added weight, reduces recoil.

Nice rifle, Helmut. It's interesting that V/C saw fit to incorporate a Shelhamer chinstrap behind the pistol grip. I have never before seen that feature on a European gun.

Hello CptCurl

Thanks for the reply.

It just goes to show that nothing is new. My friends 1936 Bernhard Merkel doppelbuchse (DR) 9.3X74R/16ga drilling also has this "chin-strap" feature.

Hello All,

Here is an update for those that would like some "reduced" loads for the 600 NE.

Up until now I've fired my reduced loads at 50 yds. Today I tested them at 100 yds.

I'm pretty pleased with the results. I'm ready for Wisconsin hunting this Fall.

I only have about 50 of these "early" Barnes bullets left. The kind that were made with copper tubing. I do have some 900g Woodleighs, but they haven't done as well - yet. I'll keep testing.

Also, my 900g cast bullets grouped 5-3/8" at 100 yds, also quite acceptable.

Greetings. I just started a post requesting any comments regarding VC's 577 that's in consideration. I believe VC makes the finest Big big Bores, 577/600 Imperial's or Round Body's for the money.

Is your 600 still holding it's own over time?
Many Thanks. Regards, Dan.
