I would love one,
It would be a great gun for buff and a cheap proposition to get such a big calibre in. Brass would be easier and cheaper too.

The 470 would not be a bad option either, tough decisions ahead I hope. I wonder if Federal would follow suit with 500NE as they already have the 470 load.

I agree...IMHO, the 500 Nitro is the epitome of ultimate african double..I have a .470 double --but am constantly wanting a 500 ..actually ran into one at the local gun shop today..which is very rare to see in that sporting goods store...but they do consign and trade so suppose that is why it was there... was a higher end Merkel double--in 500 Nitro...looked like new....price tag on it was $15,500.

IMHO, Once you get to that kind of money I would probably go with a Heym instead...
