Now the wait for some "Mil Overrun" versions to turn up in a ganza..!! The MO version of the 511 really strikes a cord with me so I think a 711 in that finish would be the ducks guts !!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any of the Busse Basics, but how does the 7-11 feel compared to them? Is the Basic 6 and the 7-11 really different in feel and balance?
Thanks

I think so, obviously they have the same general feel in hand (as in how the grip feels) but the B6 "feels" not that I have dropped it on the scales a little heavier and stocky while the 711 seems a little better balanced to me.

To me, the 711 does give a better grip, and as Andy says feel better balanced. I think it is the reach for the choil, that is a little more handy on the 711. Rasmus
