The .475 has pretty nice wood, and it is the most accurate big bore have ever seen.

So far I have 500's up to 1975 fps out of the .475. It has about 5% less case capacity than a .458 Win, but a very long throat, so I am hoping to reach 2100 fps. At that point it's solidly in .470 Nitro class.

It also weighs a hair over 9 lbs, with the scope & mounts. grin
Tell you what,even if you don't reach 2100 fps,there's not a elephant,Cape buffalo,hippo that is going to know the difference.

You going to bring the .475 to Quemado this August?
