Biggest you own/biggest you have fired
« on: December 13, 2022, 06:22:52 PM »
Thought this one could be fun one.

What the biggest shoulder fired rifle you own and the biggest you have fired?

I own and hunt with a 458 Lott. The biggest I have fired is a 585 nyati my buddy owns.

Guess I'm a bit weak, .375H&H.  Personally, that was enough.
Own, .300 Win Mag.
