Picked up one of these ejector rifles in .470 NE last Sunday.

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...erarchyId=10473

Just couldn't pass it up based on the price. Guns are a little light. I was quoted 9lb 9oz for the .470 and 9lb 6oz for the .500 NE, so it seemed like the .470 was the way to go. Also fills a hole in my lineup well, as I already have a .50-140/510 NE built on a Browning 1886 action and a Ruger No. 1 in .400 Jeffery. Now I have a working man's double, right up the old Texas T-Bone.

I would say the wood is not spectacular, but very good. Finish is glossy. Fit to metal is excellent. Engraving (apparently machine cut) is rather ornate and I would say well done. Blued metal is polished and flawless. Gun swings and handles well to me, although my prior experience with doubles has been primarily with shotguns. It balances well in the hands and is quick to the shoulder, a lot like good big-bore lever actions, with which I have spent a lot of time.

I have not been to the range with it yet, but when I am ready to spend some more money and make some noise I will report back again. In summary, I bought this gun largely based on type (double) and caliber for price. Although realistically it is in no way the equal of a fine British gun, we will see if it can do the J.O.B. Thanks.
