I looked at a New England 500S&W today. Was wondering what everybody thought of the caliber and the brand before I made my purchase tomorrow.

What is the model of gun called? Is it a single shot? I have a H&R Handi-Rifle in .500S&W and I love it. It didn't cost that much. The recoil is very manageable no more than a single shot 20ga. I have been getting fist size groups with it at 150yds. And both the deer I shot with it dropped in their tracks. The only downside is that good quality ammo in that caliber is quite expensive.
