With more companies becoming involved with bigbores what else do you want to see?

Left handed everything in .375 H&H and up.

Nothing from any Co., but I do want to build to build two more customs, on Remington Model 30S. One in .375 and one in .510, just have not made a final desision on which chamberings. These will be, Big and Li'l Bubbas for my Lott

That and plans for a double rifle on one of my Parker Bros shotguns. And on one of my 16ga hammer guns.

Hog Killer

Pedersoli building 500 and 577 Black Powder Express rifles on their hammer double rifle action.

Same old, same old..
Need a few bucks to rebuild a Winnie in 300 RUM to a 404.

Mehul: You are a man after me own heart, sir. Yes, a nice .577 BPE, please.

I'm thinking CZ in .505 Gibbs........... Also a .550 Express........Also, these posts are dangerous!

550 magnum and express offered as CZ stocked items

remington delivering the spartans

(drawing up myself) or someone giving me a ton of gunsmithing g-code

pedersoli offering their hammer guns, with mono-blocks only, for me to rebarrel!!

I'm with Snowwolfe on this one.
Left handed 416 stainless.

I'd like to have Butch build me a PH model chambered for 450/400NE 3"! The only thing holding this up is lack of money!

Ooooh, Mac, that's a great wish. Taylor thought highly of a .450/400 double, and I believe Ray likes it too.

stainless cz 550's!!!!!!!!!!

or any other stainless 416 rigby

I would also have to add a Searcy double in .500 NE.......

Whatever happened to Ruger offering a production #1 in .505 Gibbs?

I've got several project big bores, most probably will never get completed. Top of the list:

(1) Upgrade my 510 Brevex with express sights, rust blue and a new Turkish stock shaped like this:



(2) Build another 375, British express style.

(3) Rebarrel a Ruger #1 to 500 Nitro.

(4) Build another 416 using my Burgess-modified CZ550 action:

Bill,

At the BGRC shoot in Lodi Wisconsin last October I was able to shoot Ernie Stallman's 500 and 577 BPE hammerguns and I have been hooked! Now, unless Pedersoli make these I am sure that I shall never be able to afford one. I only wish that more people get to try these - they are so much fun and would be superb deer guns for the US at the ranges where most deer are shot anyway.

Everyone whom Ernie offered his rifles enjoyed shooting them. If someone made these today, I am sure that they would be extremely popular.

Cheers and good hunting!

OOOOOOH! That would be cool!!!

Mac, I too think the Searcy PH in 450/400 is an awesome idea, and I fully understand about the lack of funds to make it a reality. So I think for my first rifle over .40 I'll probably be thinking more along the lines of CZ's new SC550 in .404 Jeffery, or maybe if I get a good tax refund an AHR in the same, or possibly .416 Rigby.

I like boomsticks idea about the stainless, i also wish winchester would make there safari express in stainless and add the lott. they could call it the alaskan express....

Gents,

Like to see Ruger come out with a less expensive double rifle. Hopefully, 404.

I want to have the stock on my .416 Rigby redone from its hogback form to a more pleasant shape and I went to get the double rifles to Africa!

From vendors I want Northfork to deliver the 500 gr .474 CPs while selling a bunch of them and for the guy who bought the BeLL big bore cartridge tooling to be wildly successful ... so we have a continuing source of good cases.

Hmmm.

First, I want Remington to market a CRF rifle in big bore calibers. If they really have bought rights to market the Zastava action here, I would want to see it in a true safari configuration and at a price that competes with CZ. I also would like to see them build a large magnum-length action to accomadate .458 Lott and up. (won't happen, but we're asking what I'd LIKE to see)

Second, I want CZ to build a usable out-of-the-box big bore. Presently, CZs in calibers like .458 Lott have to go through a major overhaul in terms of feeding and cross bolting before they are ready to go on safari (that's why I got the Ruger in .458 Lott).

Third, I'd like to see somebody build an AFFORDABLE double rifle in .470 Nitro. (Eight grand ain't "affordable"!)

CZ already makes a 505 Gibbs

Hence the desire for a CZ in .505 Gibbs -- it's my wish list!

I will agree with this! It would surely out sell the PF 700s.

Eight Grand may not be affordable, but Im afraid it ain't gonna happen any cheaper! People have been wishing for cheap double rifles for 100 yrs, and NOW is no different than years ago, it still takes lots of hand fitting to build one, that is worth haveing!

Ruger to offer the RSM in 404 Jeff!

That .510 posted above is a very nice rifle.

I'd like a Lee Loader in .375 H&H. I have about 500 pcs. of shiny clean once fired .375 brass and don't want a whole reloading setup just to squeeze together practice rounds.

My dream rifle is Wendell's (470 NE if I remember correctly) double. If only I could sell 13 of my scoped rifles to equal it. Oh, how pretty.

I wish houses weren't so damned expensive here in Phoenix. I was planning on ordering a Searcy PH 470 NE and paying with my signing bonus, but all my signing bonus is now being used for my home downpayment.

A Purdey .600 NE with full bulino game scenes by the Brown Brothers.

For Ruger to release a double rifle in say 470 NE or something of similar nature. Maybe the Gold Label action beefed up to NE rifle capabilities??? Hmm?

A close copy of Harry Selby's famous Rigby 416. Hopefully I will have it by the end of 06'.

The silver label, an O/U has been converted to 470.. but it's an OU...

the goldlabel is a miniscule action, and a true backaction... the stock would be overly weak...

The merkel, when it started coming in,was around 5k... would be nice to see that again, in 470, but with a custom buttstock

I'll be damned, the first time in fifty years I've gotten what I asked for for Christmas. THANKS!

Ruger No.1 Sporter in 405 Winchester but with as slender a 26 inch (if not 28 inch) barrel as one can get away with, wearing at least "better" grade walnut, fitted with a fixed rear sight, low rings with QD levers, tuned trigger, smoothed action, decorated with a touch of engraving here & there, and finished in a rust blue (or something that looks like it).
