500 NE double gun

Today I had the opportunity to buy a really nice rifle. If I was gonna hunt Africa I would have bought it. Rifle was a Krieghoff SXS 500 NE rifle. Absolutely gorgeous rifle too. Engraved in the Germanic style. Everything looked really good. No cracks in the stock. Nothig. About 99% too. Guy wanted 6000 bucks for it. He had a couple boxes of British ammo and 80 rounds of new boxer primed brass made in Australia. Dies and some soft point and solid bullets with it too. That woulda broke the budget though. It would have made me HAVE to go to Africa...which would have done my gun budget in for certain.. Don't know what a trip to Africa for dangerous game is...but I probably can't afford it. And the gun of course
