Re: .375 H&H or .470 NE for Buffalo (Please help the newbie)
03/12/07 01:34 PM

Heritage Arms gave me the opportunity today to go out and shoot three double rifles in both .375 H&H and .470 NE. They had a Blaser, Krieghoff, and a Chapuis. With all the comments in regards to the Blaser, I was expecting it to shoot bad, but it was definitely the most accurate of the three and I like the sights better on this rifle than the other two. I assume the comments above are more due to the traditional look of the other double guns vs. the newer style and looks of the Blaser, rather than in the performance of the gun. I did notice they have a different look amongst each model. All the guns were very accurate at the 50 yards we were shooting them.

I was very pleased to find out that there is significantly less recoil in the .470 NE in the double rifle than my .416 Rigby in my Ruger Safari Bolt Action. In fact, the recoil was very tolerable and I removed my shoulder pad and shot several rounds with no pad and still did not have a problem with recoil of the guns. It was interesting to note fit as all have mentioned to me. All three guns were very different in feel. My best friend liked one model better, while I was very fond of one of the other models. I now understand what everybody is saying about fit. I imagine a lot of different people would like a lot of different guns if they could shoot all of them based on their build, size, etc. I can not wait to go to SCI in Reno and handle a few other models. I might be working a friends booth on Friday and Saturday at the show. His name is Tim Buma with New Zealand Trophy Hunting Ltd. If anybody is at the show, drop in and say hi. If he needs the help, I will be there in the afternoons.

Anyway, it was a great experience today and I am definitely sold on doubles. I can not wait to have my own.
