Thread: Medium/ Big Bores, What's everyones favourites ?

Ruger 416 Rigby with refinished trimmed and bedded stock. Winchester stainless 375 H&H bedded and barrel cut to 22”, replacement express sights, Sauer 202 375, Allen Carr full custom build 9.3x62 on FN 98 c ring action, Blaser R93 with 9.3x62 barrel.

Hey - to take this tread to the next level, what is your ultimate adventure with a big bore . . . for some reason Africa and America have never interested me from a hunting perspective, but I'd love to hunt Cape Buffalo in Queensland

Exactly what the Sako .375H&H of mine is destined for. No interest in any other large game.

The CZ550 .375H&H that I got for a steal
Only been on the Big Bore Shoots. but one day soon it's going to get some blood on it

My baby medium bore CZ 550 9.3x62



With 270s chugging along its a joy to shoot, the 505 Gibbs with 550s chugging along, not so much

Medium = 9.3x62
Big = 458 Win Mag

Here's my PH with an MAB barrel in 350rem mag.
Shoots great...might take it out next time.
225gr@2750fps and 3800fpe

My 458 win mag is a joy to shoot. New limb saver was a must. Evaporated cow pats ����.

what's the go on the buffs? There are heaps apparaNtly but hard to get to for recreational shooters unless going with expensive outfitters

My current Big Bore favorite is my 50 cal muzzleloader



My Medium Bore is a 9.3x62 R93 Blaser
300 grain Swift A Frames
286 grain Lapua Magas
Both very effective and accrate.
I have never tried a projectile of any sort in 9.3 that wasn't accurate in my rifle

Greg I must admit I'm a big fan of the FS stock design.

They point and feel incredible !

Nice selection of rifles there guys, the 9.3 x62 seems very popular, there ballistics they are similar to the 375 H&H as that correct?

You can get the 9.3 pushing 285gr at 2400fps, 375 h&h can do around 2700 with 270gr projectiles. Not too much in it at practical hunting ranges.

I have promised the 375 H&H its turn is next

We went to take it out on Sunday but discovered I had taken the scope off so took the 416 Rigby instead

One white Billy doesn't release how close he came to having a 350 Speer sent his way

I'm taking the 375, 458 & 505 to the range Saturday morning to sight them in so they will be ready for their turn, please don't tell my shoulder
