Every time I look at this particular forum I kinda gringe! It seems to me that we could come up with a better name then "Big Bores"  After all, I am sure that none of us as as the tile suggests and we are all pretty good folks  How about "Big Bolts"?

Hey, are you saying we are BIG BORES?? There is nothing more boring than a boorish BORE.

I see nothing wrong with the name as it is, but you could simply add RIFLE to it, ie: Big Bore Rifles.
The "DOUBLE RIFLE" forum, is all inclusive, from .22 rimfire, to 4 bore, as long as it is a double rifle, and the "SINGLE SHOT RIFLE forum are both for a particular type of rifle, regardless of caliber.
The "Big BORE rifles"forum would include any rifle from 400 cal up.
A "Medium Bore Rifles"forum would include any rifle from 9.3,(.366) to .399 cal.
A "Small Bore Rifle" forum, would include any rifle smaller that 9.3 (.366)
I, personally, think all are fine the way they are, but that isn't my call! But, I guess that would be parr for the course, when you're an old BOAR!
