Dang need to use my bifocals. Yep, the 450 Rigby is listed. Although I agree about rimmed rounds in bolt actions, as least one poster on this site own's one ( a Heym Bolt 600 NE).
Liled... I am sorry. I live and learn and this is my first time posting a poll, I will make them more strait forward on the next one. I am somewhat surprised anyones choice would be different within the calibers listed. NONE of them are lacking in taking the big 5.

There are actually several good choices not listed. Such as all the big Dakota's, 375, 404 416 and 450. None of the double rifle cartridges that have been built on bolt actions like the Heym 600 NE come to mind, also the 450 G&A, 425 WR, 425 Express, 416 Taylor, 450 Vicent, 416 and 450 Howell, 450 Rigby et al..

I voted for the 450 Rigby and it's on the list. Did you forget the welding goggles on
A bolt action rifle in a flanged caliber is just as foolish as a double in a non flanged caliber. I'm pleased that smallfry didn't list them in this poll
Could not vote as my choice is missing, 404 Dakota, which I am currently building (actually John Ricks is, on a Brno 602 action).

Some marketing research. Very simple... You want a Big bore for Africa, .375 and Up, which cartridge do you choose? The rifle will be a bolt action, with iron sights and for scope use if desired. This poll will stop on the 18th. You must vote to see results.

Tried voting for the first time (2/15/04 - 11:39 a.m. Central) and it said a vote had been cast from this IP address. Why would it say that? What is an IP address?
No one has access to my computer except my wife and I know she has not voted in a big bore poll.

Shadow... I am sorry I did not add the 404 Dak, I was thinking of it but figured it would have just add space. I just picked a few cartridges that have shown some popularity on this board and a few old stand bys'. Interesting results though Huh? For those who could not vote... perhaps you should take that up with Saeed, maybe he has a explination. Kinda fun stuff though, maybe we should try this again in a few months.

Does anyone here have a problem voteing on any of these polls? Everytime I try a message always comes up stateing I have already voted! Unless someone else is useing my E-mail address, then something is wrong with this feature on theis web-site! I would like some one on the staff to check and see if, in fact, someone else has voted on this site under my ISP!

Too bad John Rigby isn't here to see this! I have a 416 Rigby and like it a lot, but always felt I was in the minority compared to the seemingly popular 416RemMag.
I'm not particular about caliber about any 40 caliber up suits me...I own at the present a 375, 416 Remington, 404 Jefferys, 10.75x68 and a .470 double...Anyone of them will do for anything in my opinnion...My next safari will be with the 10.75x68 and the .470 if I don't sell or trade them off, I am a gun whore you know...
