I dunno�but I do know the 416s ( all of them..) I dislike heartily and a .458 Lott is my least favorite thus far�. I figured it was your Corbett connection. I shot a .416 Weatherby once. Once. I've never been a particularly fast learner, but that one shot was all it took.

That's the first double rifle I've seen let alone shoot. The recoil for me was not what I expected. The rifle weighed around 11-12 lbs according to the owner. Ingwe,agree on the .416's those are just too much for me. The only .458 I've shot was the Win mag version and it was enough. Rev,we are looking at either a Merkel or a Sabatti .470 right now. Most likely a Sabatti as they are a little cheaper,but we will see,there is no hurry.

But that WR has a second set of barrels in .30-06 for you to shoot!!  Seriously, though, did you see the Sabatti on that same site I sent you? Check this out. http://www.gunsinternational.com/Sabatti-Safari-470-NE.cfm?gun_id=100400127

That must be a new one. The one I found was a Sabatti .470 going for $5250.

No doubt. Be sure to post some picks when you get it.

10-4.
I told my wife that I'm putting together (in my head) my "retirement rifle." She said, "You haven't even gotten the one you just ordered!"
I'm expecting there's going to be a new Dodge Durango in the driveway before the year is out, and all I'm going to be able to do is smile and say, "That's nice"...through the tears as I watch my retirement rifle drive away.

Is Sabatti an English name? I think not! If we are flying into fantasy island, I'll be toting a English double! I don't like limeys, but they know how to make sporting arms!

Yeah,it was probably around the mid-to-late 1700's when the Brit's pissed Ingwe off. Can't blame Ingwe for forgetting though,that was a few years back.
