Re: 8 bore vs 4 bore
|
Thankyou nitro....
John 'Pondoro' Taylor......which of his many books is the better with regards to the older rounds? He himself was a 375 H&H chap was he not?
Already asked two good 'smiths to keep an eye out for an earlier mauser .375 H&H........
Model 66 any good anyone???
Anyway,back on track........
COTW???
So, i guess if i can convert a shotty 8 English to a multi-use gun by adding sights....and chopping the barrel by some inches?!.....then it seems a good idea.
The 8 bore rifles seem amazingly hard to get hold of.......i have seen one for sale for £6,000/$12,000......but this is a paradox, yet it has long barrels(33") and no leaf sights or rear sights at all.....pot luck shooting?????
The only other 8 for sale is $22,000 which is a lot.......
One was for sale for $10,500 but has gone it seems......
W.W. Greener were the main maker of such guns.......for both ball and conical......
Where have their many guns gone to? made for work,beautiful things......
