Big bore guns...what do you have?

feddoc · Aug 8, 2010

I'm not a collector or shooter of same, just trying to figure out how many people own a big bore centerfire rifle.

I've got a .450 Marlin; love that little gun. I take it with me when I am creeping through thicker stuff during elk season.

When I was at Colorado State, one of my friends had one gun. A .458 Winchester Magnum. He, being a poor college kid, could not afford to buy another. He shot that thing at everything from paper to prairie dogs to elk.

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

Three 45/70 rifles. Marlin 1895 LTD-V, Pedersoli 1874 Sharps, Siamese Mauser that gets loaded to a level just below a 458 mag.
Great bison rifles.

If he was poor - how the hell could he afford to shoot that rifle?

Someday, when I am rich...I am going to buy a .470 NE double and shoot something real big with it.

I do have a .454 cassul that sure seems big when I shoot it.
