My .500NE has arrived
17/10/14 08:09 PM

Hi all, new to the site. I'm new to big doubles, but not big bores. Just got a call from the gun shop that my Merkel 140AE .500 NE has turned up and l was told it looks sweet. I have always wanted a double and eventually bit the bullet, (excuse the pun) after my last trip to the NT two weeks ago. The rifle I bought was the one that was on Used Guns up until last week. I had a choice of three rifles, two 470's and the .500. I wanted ejectors and one of the 470's had extractors and the other whilst it had ejectors it was a pretty plain Jane base model. The .500 had ejectors and upgraded wood, so the choice was made. I was not too concerned about picking between the two calibre's as they will both do the job admirably. If there was two identical doubles in the two calibre's, I'd still be trying to make up my mind.

I have always used a .404 I built a few years ago and .338 Win Mag, both are awesome on Buff, but one cannot have enough guns, can one?

Anyway, that's enough excited prattling from me. Now I just have to go through the usual rubbish from the WA firearms branch and the one month plus wait.
