Have manufacturers stopped making their big bore/safari rifles? I’ve read that the big names have basically stopped manufacturing large caliber rifles these days. Is this true?

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any in stock for over two years. I was going to buy one back in 2021 (I made a post about this problem then), but as usual more important things got in the way and my hunting plans got put on the back burner so I stopped looking, not that there was anything to buy even then.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
