SWT577,

WR 577 Sounds nice - Having carried 10 - 13lb guns for weeks in 30 - 40 degree heat,
I know what you mean. I have a WR Droplock 400/360.

This is for your info / reference only - the guns are not for sale but may give you some
pointers if you find something similar.

WR 500/465, Short barreled (23 inches ?) gun - absolutely great to carry and shoot.
- I would buy any others I saw.
WR500Nitro "White Hunter" - made in the 50's, 22 inch barrels, great gun
- if you find one, they are superb.
Rigby 450 Nitro (Webley action) - 28 inch barrels - great gun, good to shoot. Barrels a bit long but it's original
and cased with all accessories so don't want to chnge it.
2 x Army / Navy 500 Nitro - 27's barrels guns - both a bit muzzle heavy but am glad of the weight (11lbs).
Have carried one for a week hunting buff without a problem.

Used to have a Jeffrey 450 No 2 but since I decided to keep the 450 Rigby I sold the Jeffrey 450 No 2.
It is one of the few guns I didn't shoot and wish I had as it was a great gun - short barreled and the 450 No2
is a great cartridge.

Have a Merkel 470 and a William Douglas 470 that are both using guns - I like both but they don't warm
your heart like a true English gun.

Will try to find email and PM you. I may have to email my mate to see if I am correct in my memory
(or whether I have fired too many shots from my big doubles !!!).

Hope this helps.

500 Nitro
