Sabatti SBCLB5E500EDL Big Five Classic EDL 500 NE Caliber with 2rd Capacity, 24" Barrel, Silver Engraved Metal Finish & Oiled Walnut Stock Right Hand (Full Size)

The Sabatti Big Five Classic EDL 500 NE Caliber rifle is a purpose-built dangerous game rifle engineered for African safari and similar large-caliber hunting applications. Built on a forged and milled receiver with a cold hammer-forged barrel, this full-size rifle delivers the stopping power and reliability demanded in remote, high-stress hunting environments where second chances are rare.

The 500 NE (Nitro Express) cartridge generates substantial recoil energy and velocity—manageable thanks to the rifle's 9.8-pound weight and the mechanical advantage of the oiled walnut stock, which provides excellent hand balance and absorbs recoil signature during firing cycles. The 24-inch barrel optimizes bullet velocity from the large-capacity cartridge while maintaining a practical overall length of 33.5 inches for field handling in thick cover. Hand-checkered, oil-finished select-grade walnut stock ensures a secure grip in wet conditions common to tropical and savanna environments. The silver-engraved metal finish resists corrosion from humidity and salt air exposure.

Dangerous game hunters, professional guides, and experienced riflemen operating in demanding terrain select the Big Five Classic EDL for its traditional sighting system—a brass bead front sight paired with express rear sights for rapid target acquisition in dense vegetation. The included scope base accommodates modern optics for open-country applications where extended sight lines are available. The 2-round capacity reflects the deliberate, precision-focused nature of dangerous game hunting, where controlled placement matters more than volume of fire.

This is a rifle for the experienced operator—one who understands large-caliber ballistics, respects recoil management, and values reliability in unforgiving conditions. The Sabatti Big Five Classic EDL 500 NE represents proven European rifle-making applied to the hardest hunting scenarios on earth.
