It has seemed a bit slow here lately so I thought a big bore poll would be a fun thing for us all to do.

I tried to get a poll to work but was unsuccessful so please list the caliber and how many you have. What you have in your possession now, not what you've had or shot or dreamed about.

BTW, Rifles only please.

I'll start it off:

.375 - 4
.416 - 5
.458 - 3
.475 - 3
.510 - 2
.620 - 1

Secondly please list what you are working on or are having built. You must at the very least have an action and barrel in your or your smith�s possession to qualify for a listing here

I'm working on:

.510 - 1
.550 - 2
.620 - 2
.700 - 1
.729 - 1

I will tally the results in a week and post the totals.

I have been selling my guns like wild lately, buying me a team roping horse thats out of this world, but expensive...In big bores, I am down to:

375 H&H English bolt rifle
9.3x62 in a Brno 22F
416 Rem in a Ruger No.1
470 Searcy double with a Dowtin Custom stock
338 Win. Custom Rifle
300 H&H Custom Rifle

The rest are medium bores and the last two above probably don't qualify as big bores either.

Jim,
I just showed your list to my wife. She apologized profusely for every ugly word she has ever said about my hobby. No telling how many marriages you've saved by sharing your list with us.
Keep up the good work,
Forrest
