What Big bore do you own? My big bore is the Sako 375 H&H, 416 Rem and The CZ American Safari 458 Lott.

4 bore Ken Owen double, 700 nitro Searcy double, &00 AHR, 600 overkill, 585 Wells Magnum, 500 nitro Ruger #1 custom, 14.5mm by SSK, 50BMG Barret M82, 510 Kodiak Express lever action, 2 bore and 8 bore black powder, 2 460 weatherby's, 3 458 Lots, and a 50-110.

Previous post, I meant a 700 AHR.

I am down to only 2 now: a Whitworth .416 Rem Mag, and a Mark X in .450 Ackley.

A few of my big bore handguns include 600 nitro custom encore, 460 weatherby encore 12" barrel, 50-140 sharps encore, a 30-378 encore with 15" barrel. A JRH custom revolver in 50 alaskan, and lots of regular stuff like 500 S&W etc.

Wrong forum, but big-bore handguns include 2 S&W .44 magnums, a Ruger SRH .454 Casull, and a custom JRH SRH in .475 Linebaugh........

Way too many and not enough time to shoot 'em all anymore.

CZ 375, Montana actioned 416 Rem
450-400 Heym on the way

>577 3-inch BPE on a Greener Martini action; .577 Snider Enfield; .50-70 Early Hartford Sharps; .45-70 Trapdoor Springfield.

M70 SS Classic .375 H&H, CZ 550 .416 Rigby, .458 AR on a Mauser action, and .470 NE Searcy.

Genuinely don't feel the need for anything bigger.

I refuse to do this again. My fingers would cramp up from all the typing. To be brief: More than the last time.

Only a CZ 416 Rigby. An A Ruger 454 Casull if pistols count. I am supposed to be getting a 585 Nyati but he hasn't shown up with it yet.

A 375 Mod 700 for grins
A 375 Mod 70 for hunting
A 416 Mod 70 for africa
A 458 Lott Mod 70 when the barrel gets here.

All of my handguns are .40 or larger.

Chapuis 9.3x74R (a medium bore, but I consider 375 medium bores as well), mod 70 375 H&H, remington custom shop 416 remy, mod 70 458 watts, and Chapuis 470 nitro express. I guess I should include my ruger #1 45/70.

A CZ550 in .375H&H.

If you start counting below .458", which I think is suspect:

1.) Dakota 76 375H&H
2.) A&S Farmars sidelock double rifle in 375H&H
3.) Marcel Thys sidelock double rifle in 458wm
4.) Custom 458 Lott on a Montana Rifleman action

JPK

They wax and wane in the safe ... but currently:
1. CZ 416Rigby
2. Rem700 470Capstick

In the planning ... Ruger MkII based 458AR. Then a .50 of some description.

So, what has been the most popular cal. reported on the forum? I assume the 375, but I've seen a lot of Lotts and 470's. What do you guys think on this? Maybe we should have set it up as a poll....

Blaser R 93 in 375 HH and 416 RM
Christensen in 375 HH

frog,
the results will be different in the african hunting forum...
here, you'll see the 45 is generally the leader, due to cost of shooting....
here's what *I* expect, in terms of round shot...
45
416
375
510
470
423
everything else.....405, .550, .577, .488, etc

reason? well, there's the 45/70, 45/90, 45/110, 45 rcbs, 45/120, 450 marlin, 458 noveske/wsm, 458 american,450 alaskan,457WWG, 458win, 458 hem, 458 lott,458 watts, 458ar, 458 vincent short, 458 ackley, 458 vincent long458ph(3"), 450 rigby, 450 dakota, 460 weather, 460 ga, 460ga short, 450NE, 450NE2, and even the 45 blaser.

whew, 27 .458 bores, not counting the true "one offs" .. and they can all shoot the 12cent 405gr remington fp....

oh man, if i had done this list i might not had done the 458 AR

375s you have 375win, 38-55, 376steyr, 375 taylor, 375 flanged,375 jdj (same thing ) 375x300win, 375hh, 375 ai/weatherby, 375 ruger,378 webby... i am sure a missed a few

.375 H&H Eng. rifle

This changes from time to time as I sell them and build them. but I will probably always have the above 3 rifles, unless someone buys them. I guess that I am just a gun whore and will sell any of them..

375H&H in a JP Ridon (French rifles maker)based on Mauser 98 bolt action made by Steyr (1909).
458 WM in a Churchill (period Churchill, Atkins Grant and Lang 1979).
and I'm happy with them!

9,3x62, 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 505 Gibbs, 550 Gibbs, 577 Belted Magnum Express, a couple 45-70's, M1886 Winchester in 50-110. I have a 475 Gibbs scheduled for January, and a single shot in 500/465H&H about April. I knew taking a hundred-plus new primed cases in trade would cause me trouble if I didn't sell them right away.

Oh c'mon... big bores start at .40 don't they. Well, I've got a Ruger No.1 in .375H&H anyway. Plus:

Custom Ruger No.1 in .450/.400 3" NE
Ruger No.1 in .405Winchester
Custom Ruger No.1 in .500Jeffreys
Winchester Mdl 70 SS in .411/.416Rem Mag.
Marlin .45-70 1895 XLR SS

Alas, no large double rifle yet. Dealing for a Ruger RSM in .416Rigby but seller is a hard nut to crack.

I thought big bores start at 1/2"
