Thread: Big Bore Goodness

Just recently quite interested in Big Bore Rifles even though they really have no use here since we have nothing hunting ther hunters .
There are some beauties in the linked thread

faaaaa lots of 40-50 cal rifles

Always wanted to try a 460WM. Recoil must kick the S*&% out of you.

I have an interest in big bore rifle and shotguns, I have a photo of a 4" bore shotgun/punt gun somewhere, have a combination gun that shoots a .577 dia projectile, but BP loads

This thread is worth a read Big bore addiction group | AfricaHunting.com

Really like my 416 Rigby.

Getting to like my 450 Terminator

What's not to like about the little boys 450 Bushmaster & 510 Whisper

One day I will get a 375 H&H to match my Rigby

@Kiwi Greg you won't find one much cheaper than this Cz550 Safari magnum lux | Trade Me

I got a new synthetic cz550 in 375 h&h for $1699.
Should arrive in a few days.

Shopping around for deals always works.

And I should have the 375 ruger on Sunday.
Maybe one day I will get 458 or 458 Lott.

Yes I saw that one not as nice as my 416 R, it has a different style stock

Here's a few, I shoot the 500 BP express in my double rifle, the 577/450 in my martini, and the .577 snider in my combination gun and the .22 in my Brno

I'm getting there. Hopefully I can get a Martini or Snider at the next auction.

Don't get a snider! They're a pig IMHO a martini is nice in 577/450 but can be a challenge to load in Black Powder. I shoot a lot of 45/70 because of the ease of loading, you can get SPANZ cases which are basically straight bored instead of necked into a 46/70 cartridge. I'll ask my mate if he has anything to sell!

I have a 45/70 as well. But its a marlin 1895.
Not sure what I would want to get next. Will have to decide when something pops up.

45/70 is a great calibre, I have 3 rifles in this

Just bought a load of bertram brass 577/450 cases as my SPANZ ones are beginning to die after 30 odd years. Going to full power loads again was a bit of a suprise on the shoulder.
