Re: Question:Early big bore bolt action rifles?


This 1886 Winchester .45-90 fired a flanged cartridge like this:

2.4 inch case with bullets from 300 to 500 grains and more.
The 1886 .45-90 did well in Africa in the old days and STILL does. At least mine did well.

Bolt actions? I prefer my 1886 lever action for up close action.

Sharps also made single shots back then.
