Has anyone ever produced a single shot 8 bore along the lines of a H&R Topper? Shotgun, paradox, or fully rifled? Is there anywhere in the US that one can be used for hunting? Remington still makes 8 gauge shells for blasting slag out of incinerators.

Thanks

I know the 8ga is illegal for waterfowl, not sure about small game (might be a state to state thing), and would be legal for deer (in MI anyway).
The thing is, who would want to put up with that level of recoil (and cost/shot) for a short range deer gun?

Many (relative here) ENglish guns were so made. If you want one, here y are a couple to choose from (under English shotguns):

THese guys at least talk about it-don't know how many have actaully finished one of the projects:

DO any of us ever finish our own projects?

A company called October Country used to make muzzleloading 8 and 4 bores. No idea if they still do.

Good hunting!
