The Big Bore Dilemma

[VertigoBE]

My current dilemma. Do I top out at [emoji640][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]NE or keep climbing this ridiculous ladder and buy a [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]].[emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] of some sort?....just because.

This is really the wrong group of people to ask…

Of course you go for a .[emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]!

I have to say, reading that made me smile. I await the post that says the .404 is all the gun a hunter will ever need but on the other hand I've just ordered a .500...

That's how I work anyway. I buy something thinking it is as big as I'll ever need, but then I want more. I wanted a .40+ calibre over a .375 and put a lot of effort into getting one, I ended up with a .416 Rigby. I couldn't shoot it to start with so don't let that worry you if you find yourself in a similar position. Get and shoot it, things will work out.

A year later I'm shooting my .416 pretty well but can't help staring longingly at the CZ550 in .505 Gibbs. Do I need it? No. Should I buy one anyway? Probably not. Does that mean I'll never buy one? Never say never!

I’m almost there!
