Ya' know it's a great idea in theory, but I would be willing to bet when you need the reach of the 700 you will have the 4 bore barrel affixed and when you need the punch of the 4 bore you will have the 700 barrel on the rifle.

I think it is the .935" 4bore size that that most 4bore guns over the years have been built in.Ed MZEE WA SIKU | |||

J Brown I have to disagree with you. Either the 4 bore or the 700 will take out anything on the planet. I don't see that it makes much difference which barrel is attatched. With the light 1250 grain balls, you can get close to the 700 range with the 4 bore. And yes 1250 grains is small for even an english 4 bore. Really about a true 6 bore would be my guess. Engraving looks good to me. I would love to add this to my collection of big bores but no cash right now. | |||

Per http://www.hallowellco.com/bore_size_chart.htm site 4 Bore should be 1.052" diameter. Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

There was a thread just a few weeks back where it was explained that some British guns were considered 4 bore if they fired 1/4 pound lead projectile. A round ball gun was 1 inch but a 1/4 pound connical would be closer to 0.9 A gun might appear to be undersize, but in reality the more effective gun might have been the one fired a 1/4 pound conical behind a heavy charge. IMHO, what are called 6 bore today, were the more effective killers back in the day. That is, those with heavy charges and 1/4 pound bullets. So; no one else would like to see Pedersoli build a blue collar version of these guns? My dream, ... | |||

bigdoggy That was said tongue in cheek, hence the "  ".I was just parroting what you always read regarding the usual small bore/big bore(ie. 300wm/458wm) switch barrels.
