Tacticool.....
Not me brother. Give me walnut and blue over anything resembling tacticool any day.

But then again, there's no arguing personal taste I suppose.

Me too. Me too.

 

[Captain Munro]

That too.

In addition to the slow decline in demand for everything that doesn't look like an AR, there are fewer and fewer opportunities that actually require a rifle in .40+ caliber. And judging by the number of pristine used ones in the market, the charm of using a .416, .458 et al as a fun plinker seems to wear off pretty quickly.

When I finally pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, It will mostly be a plinker haha. Well as much as the expensive ammo will allow.

I have both. My AR’s are tools, my hunting guns are treasures.

I love them all from a sigbraced 7” 5.56 to a wood stocked 458 and everything in between.

May have something to do with my current collection of four 375 H&H rifles vs only one 416 and one 458. Once you get past the good ole 375, the practical uses dwindle quickly. But that doesn't take the fun away from owning a big bore.

To borrow liberally from Mathew Quigley - "never said I didn't own them, just never had much use for one ......"

Me too except my only 458 is a 458 socom.
10 rounds of 300 gr tsx is pretty fun to light off.
I really want to turn my 338lm into a .416 rigby. But every builder I have contacted does not have the chamber reamers

Hmm interesting . Almost all distributers are out of stock from what I can see. But that is most guns, not just big bores

Guns are available if you want them. All the shops around here have them and the one I was in yesterday was like Toys R Us for guns. Pick whatever you want.

Slim pickings in this neck of the woods.

Same here in Louisiana. Especially if you want something with a walnut stock...and that was before the "pandemic".
