Ive had and sold three 50 BMGs. Once I took out that huge rock in the back yard there wasnt much need. I had to have them but lack of a suitable range beyond 200m meant I couldnt stretch them out. I ended up mounting an Eotech on my M107 like the Coastguard did/does to stop drug boats. That was kinda cool but I moved on.
I bought a Merkel double rifle in 470NE for Afrika. Its a great gun and probably the best visiting hunter cartridge for Dangerous Game; but still I wanted more. When I bought it I wanted a 500NE. Now I want a classic 577 Nitro.
Ive got a 10 gauge double rifle. Its a Hog killer for sure; but I want a 4 Bore (imagine a gun that fires a ball weighing 1/4 pound of lead. I suppose I could settle for a 8 Bore.
500 S&W has always seemed like a better rifle then handgun cartridge to me. Big Horn Armory makes a lever action in 500 but I wanted something else, so I had a barrel made for my T/C Encore. Its 16 inches and it just about perfect for hiking in Bear/Hog country.
Whats YOUR Big Bore?
