new guy,
I thought this thread was about JPK's new rifle not on bashing forum experts.

Yes, 4seventy it is - we're still 100% completely on track
Or did you read the final sentence in his post in which he requested thoughts on the chambering of the gun?

Any thoughts or comments apreciated, on the safari plans or the rifle, really apreciated. Especially the sugestion by JJ to leave the gun as a 458wm.

PS - No one is bashing the forum experts. Obviously you missed the connection between the post and my comments. I'll try to be more specific.

JPK asked about the chambering, with the implication that the opinions expressed here might differ with those of JJ, i.e.: leave the gun in 458.

My response was to highlight the point that
1) a top-rated gun builder thought the caliber was OK
2) a top-rated gunsmith thought the caliber and ejection were OK also.

In summary, my argument was that these two opinions represent many fold more encounters and many more hours of experience in the DR field... not only in building, but also on working on double rifles.

Thus, the logical conclusion was that the two opinions he had already received (from recognized experts in thier fields)... Far outweighed the opinions expressed here (by enthusiasts that own and shoot DR, but do not have the credentials of the former two).

In short, Marcel Thys & JJ Perodeau know more than we do, so thier opinions outweigh ours as related to the question regarding chambering.
