Hard to believe that some guys are using this site, and don't know much about the history behind bore (gauge) rifles, and some even think that paradox guns are bore (gauge) guns, astounding! Paradox guns are rifled only near muzzle, and are, overall, much lighter in weight than bore rifles. Bore or gauge rifles were rifled full length, and were intended for considerably different use than paradox guns. Bore guns were true rifles; not paradox-like at all. Anyway, such bore rifles, and it doesn't matter if they were made in Britain, in Germany, or in any other country, they were all similar and intended for same purpose: For hunting/killing of big animals in Africa. Yes, they were intended for killing the big animals of Africa, and were the only type of "guns" intended for that purpose, for no other "gun" would provide same level of killing power, prior to the development of the nitro expresses. Eventually, of course, the nitro expresses overshadowed the bore (gauge) rifles, and they became something of an antique.
