4 bore Bolt action

[bigborelover]

This may sound stupid but do you gentlemen think it is possible to make a 4 bore bolt rifle ? I think it is possible on a custom action. A 4 bore cartridge is 4.7 inches (which is shorter than 50 bmg ) the only problem i can think of other than the recoil is the width of the cartridge. What are your opinions ?

Ought to be one heck of a bolt face and action to employ it - all custom. The cartridge base is just over an inch in diameter.

I have held a period double. I wouldn’t want to carry it, much less fire it.

Perhaps the more reasonable question is why?

Because why not.
