Bore Rifle Articles

I Hope you enjoy these nine articles on the biggest shoulder rifles ever made! They are:


Big Bores of the British Empire by Jack Lott. Big-Bore Rifles
Dinosaur Stopper by Jack Weller. Shooting Times, March 1964
8-bore Double Rifle by Jack Lott. Guns and Ammo Annual, 1975
Elephant Stopper Deluxe by Howard French. Guns and Ammo, July 1963
Great Guns by Giles Whittome. Guns and Ammo Annual, 1973
It's a Paradox by Howard French. Guns, February, 1965
Mighty Rifles of the Past by George A. Hoyem. American Rifleman, January 1972
To Down a Mammoth by Harold L. Peterson. Guns and Hunting, July 1965
World's Largest Big Bores by Bob Wallack. Guns and Hunting, October 1966

Of these articles, Jack Lott was the best writer of the bore rifles in the 70s. (Today Ross Seyfried holds that title). George Hoyem has educated all of us with his excellent writings on the rifles, cartridges, and historical data. Howard French was an encyclopedia of big bore knowledge before it was stylish to do so. Again, enjoy!
