I think I agree with Nitro on the post quoted above!
In the matter of Grizzley, and 400's little misunderstanding, I believe that is exactly what it is, a MISUNDERSTANDING, nothing more! I don't know Grizzley personally, but I do know 400 personally, and there are few here or anyplace else who knows more about double rifles from a text view that Mark (400), and everything he said in his posts here is true, about the double rifles. His take on Grizzley's opinion is his own, and I can't comment otherwise.

The value of the rifles mentioned in this exchange, is in my opinion, is comenserate with the price paid for each. I've all them except the Krieghoff, and didn't feel cheated when I paid for any one of them, in fact, I thought a couple were bargains, at an eve higher price than the one asked by the maker. Like B. Searcy says about his rifles, "I'm not makeing a Purdey, and I'm not charging like Purdey, and infact, I'm not compettition with Purdey!" . The same goes for the brands here. They are not Purdeys, and are not priced like Purdeys. They are, still, value for money spent! Mark said that I believe, and I don't think he was in any way downing the Heym rifle, simply makeing the statement that because of the price the actions are not caliber specific, and so one chambering may handle better than the same rifle in another chambering. This is true, but you will not find many who can tell the difference, me included! 400 (Mark) is one that can tell the difference, and because he can, it isn't a stretch to understand why he would make that distinction between the rifles mentioned. That is not a personal affront to any individual, including Grizzley, or New_ Guy. It is simply makeing a statement of fact.

I post on AR as MacD37, and Grizzley's quote of me there is true, but it was in regard to a different aspect of double rifles. That was meant in regard to the strength of the chamber walls, not weight distribution.
What I meant was, the barrel walls were considerbly thicker before the hammer forgeing. meaning the thinner forged barrel butts will weigh the same after forgeing as they did before, but become very dense. In the case of hammer forgeing a smaller piece of steel after the hammering doesn't need to be as large to weigh the say as a larger piece of steel not hammered. So I guess both of the guys here are correct to some extent.

Now lets go down to CCR and shoot some double rifles, hogs, and some bull, and eat some good food, and be friends!
