Even though it's not big bore the .350 Rigby Rimmed is classic as well. | |||

Would the 577 Rewa also be included? Not sure of its age but I think some old maharaja asked H&H to make it by necking down 600NE to 577. Karl. | |||

Although the age of the 577 rewa certainly qualifies it, the production numbers were so small that it would probably not be considered traditional; rather like a wildcat. | |||

Mickey, how come the .700 qualifies? Hardly "classic" in the 'classic' sense! Nice line-up, though, but the .500/.450 3 1/4 Magnum NE is conspicuous by its absence! ...and haven't we forgotten the 12-bore, 10-bore, 8-bore and 4-bore? The ORIGINAL 'classic' flanged cartridges! ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif){kind=icon} [ 05-09-2003, 16:13: Message edited by: Marrakai ] | |||

Because the classic British Big Bore rifles were designed for flanged cartridges. Like the shotguns they were designed from.Seriously, it is the simplest design. jim dodd | |||

Ah, that's better! Thanks for the piccie, Mickey! Second from the right is a personal favourite, wish we could still buy Leslie Taylor's hollow capped projectile in boxes of a hundred from the local gunshop! I have many friends in the BGRC, but you'll have to give me a hint! Try this site: www.hotkey.net.au/~orrs/Marrakai ..and see if the ugly mug is familiar! Cheers | |||

Mickey1, Nice line up. But what about the 450-400 in 3" and 3 1/4" ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif){kind=icon} Now if you just had rifles to shoot all those calibers Jim | |||
