As per Butlersrangers recommendation, from another thread, I'm starting a topic concerning big bore rifles.

Anyone with a big bore rifle(s) please show us what you got!!!

As mentioned in another thread I recently purchased a .500 Ingram of Scotland double barrel rifle. I purchased it from a local gentleman who's an avid big game hunter and collector of big bore rifles.

I'm new to the world of big bore guns so I don't have a vast knowledge concerning this style of firearm but I'm willing to learn. I guess I'm under the spell of the "African Big Game Hunter Mystique".

Below is a link for information on Charles Ingram who'sfirearms business was the maker of my .500 BPE:

Supposedly, Isle of Britannia gun makers kept meticulous firearms records. I haven't contacted anyone as of yet but I'm hoping to find information concerning my purchase.

And more...

Quite lovely, that's a serious Hunting Rifle, but, recoil should be quite tolerable.

Thanks BR!

Looking forward to sending large chunks of lead down range!

well if you like big bore pistols this is a good one to have ... it a 54 bore which means one pound of lead will make 54 round ball ... its a 5 shot with a mussel velocity of 620 feet per second and .442 caliber ...

and one more

My Big Bore carry gun. It's a bear to keep it from printing!

That double rifle is a work of art. Love it. But then I have a weak spot for external hammer double barreled guns.

The only big bore rifle I have is a Remington 11-87 in .729 caliber or 12 bore. Slays deer like a boss.

Its not a rifle, but it is big. 1841 six pounder, 3 1/2" bore

HeyJoe gets the Biggest Bang award!!!

Say Culp does that 11-87 come with Sound Suppressor???
