Some guys like to use the biggest rifle that they can handle because it's fun.

Some guys like a lightweight and light recoiling rifle because it makes the hike easier.

There is a place in this world for both.

No doubt! I've enjoyed shooting a 450#2, 500NE and

577NE big bores, and 30-06, 9.3x74R and 375 HH mag too.

Still working toward the chance with a 600NE and the various

sized "bore" rifles. It's all good fun. I am just

not "taken" by these post WWII designs, [700NE and 500/416]

I especially find the idea of "one-upping" just for the

sake of doing it "distasteful". I wish that instead of H&H

doing the 700NE, they'd developed a nitro express power 12

Bore using a rimmed version of the 50 BMG and an 1100 grain

bullet with the sort of flat point like the 600 NE
