MW Reynolds in Englewood, on Broadway. Bring LOTS o' cash. http://www.mwreynolds.com/ Only place I've ever even SEEN a .700 Nitro Express round.
yeah, that's where I handled the Merkel.
I'm thinking those .600NE rounds would be perfect for groundhogs!!!!!!!!

When I was young, stupid and living in Nairobi, I got to handle a bunch of double rifles. Holland & Hollands, Purdys, Berettas, ect. Being 1993 the prices were not that bad. If the importation laws were not so difficult, I would have brought back a 416 or a 470 Capstick.
And I was staying at the Hotel New Stanley. I had no friggin idea how much history that place had.
When I went back in 2006 I made sure to not make the same mistakes.
AND?
you got to handle them all (you suck BTW, but we'll let that go), and your feelings about them were?
what was good?
what was bad?
etc

It will take about 100 rounds to break in so you won't need to put it across you knee to open. Then it will be great. Not a pretty gun.. a utility gun that won't fail.
Problem solved
