Pic is hard to see but casings starting from the left: 4 bore, .700 nitro express, .470 nitro express, .375h&h, 500s&w. The cartridge is the size of a cigar!!

Wow that looks fun.

 

[Ken Ford]

Yes it does!

I would love to shoot a 4 bore, or even a 2 bore.

Read the book Unintended Consequences for some great info on these guns (and for LOTS of other reasons as well - EVERYONE in the gun culture should read it)

Oh HELLZ to the NAW!

Makes my shoulder hurt just looking at it!

When the old elephant hunter was asked "why do you carry a 600 NE ?" he answered "because they don't make a 700"
And then someone made a 700.

Here you are, good sir.

Agreed.

I'm pretty sure the 4 bore is a black powder cartridge unlike the 700 which uses smokeless.

I've seen a black powder rifle in 4 bore, but they loaded it like a black powder shotgun

Yeah that would be a bit easier on the shoulder.
