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

faaaaa lots of 40-50 cal rifles :D
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. :cool:
Getting to like my 450 Terminator :D
What's not to like about the little boys 450 Bushmaster & 510 Whisper :thumbsup:
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 :(Quote:

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.Quote:

45/70 is a great calibre, I have 3 rifles in this
I would get another. Fun to shoot.Quote:
