I have never seen one in the flesh and I could almost guarantee that if I ever came across one I wouldn’t be able to afford it without selling my house. But that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to dream.
I’m guessing that there probably are some 4 Bores in Australia as Bruce Bertram makes brass and CBE in QLD make molds for them.
$14950 is very cheap for a stopping rifle, I have fired 8 bore stoppers, thanks to members of the Big Game Rifle Club, and they are not as wicked as you may think, more of a gigantic shove, like a Boys Rifle, than a ferocious kick like the German Panzer Gewehr or a 575 Nyati. Even so, a one shot kill is needed, or a cold drink and massage, before the follow up shot! As for price, the owner paid $45000 for the 8 bore and $65000 for the 500 Nitro double. Great to have had the opportunity to use but really not for me.
I think I am over my youthful days of wanting to try all the big things. Not saying they arnt fun. In fact that Arizona gun show shooting all the full auto guns looks a ball. But for regular everyday shooting 50 cal type recoil is just not enjoyable for me any more. Shooting a M60 or AK47 I am like a bull at a gate great plinking guns.
