Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Moderate-priced double rifle?

Double Gun Journal

DGJ is more geared to shotguns and single shot rifles. They do have some double rifle info but it isn't much.

Nitro Express is a forum that's geared to big bore rifles and there is a lot of double gun info there but getting registered on it is a pain in the azz, at least it has been for me.

Gunner, the Heym Jumbo is a sidelock rifle, usually $50K or better. It used to be the only way to get a Heym in 577, but now they have the large boxlock action, which would bring down the price considerably, I would think.

A Heym Jumbo in 577 is my dream double....that or a Beretta 455 EELL.

Okay, Thanks Biebs, a 50K Jumbo in 577 and a 75 lb Ele ought to smooth out 200 pretty well.

How did this shoot?

Supersized me, I don't have a photo but may be able to get it. My buddy had both rounds he fired touching at 50 yards in the bull.

I just fired it once and hit just outside the bull.

I don't know if it was because of shooting off stixs but the recoil comes directly back. I had my left hand on the stixs and not the rifle and that was a mistake, don't know what I was thinking.

Awesome. Did he buy this rifle?

Wow, that's quite a rifle!

Yes he did.

Awesome. Chris told me he had someone pretty interested in buying this one. This was my rifle. Glad your Freind is liking it!

Oh that is awesome, he is taking to Namibia in October.

Shoots very well.

That should work nicely on a Jumbo!

I'll hopefully send you a pic when he gets back.

The 577 rules...my favorite caliber!

The 750 gr Barnes Banded Solids and TSX's at a regulated to the sights 2068 fps with 135 gr H-4350 are indeed powerful shooters Biebs, haven't hit any big game with them yet, but they'd have to be most decisive!

Yup, a more powerful gun would have to come with wheels on it!!!

And a Lanyard Rope.

Jerry, I didn't know you had a 577! what brand?

For your laugh of the day here is this ole Kansas boy on 577

Got a big V/C 577 Nitro off of Biebs about 5 years ago, it's a very lovely rifle Jorge, with it's 26" barrels, it swings like a fine [HEAVY] bird gun.
