Where are all the rifles?

[DriveByGuy]

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.

I’m not sure why, but this got posted in the wrong section. This was supposed to go in the Firearms & Ammunition section.

I asked the same question 6 months ago when I started my search.

The limited availability of Safari, dangerous game rifles was most recently discussed in depth in a thread,

New Model 70 Scarcity?

What is the issue with the scarcity of new model 70’s in 375 & 416? Used ones seem to be going for more than new msrp. If they suspended production, anyone know when Winchester will resume? Also, why doesn’t Winchester make these in a Super Grade stock? Seems like most would pay an extra 4-500...
