A really big gun

[bassncrap]

Month ago I posted about a really big gun and the big ball it shoots

Well Im pleased to say I now own the rifle. Here are a bunch of pictures of it along with a sheet with the Specs.

The picture with the 2 balls. The left one is a .490... the right is .775.... wild

Does anyone know the builder?

300 grains! How's the shoulder feel after a couple of those loads!?

.775” is a 10 bore…
Congrats
With such a large hole and only 1-1/8” across the flats - it’s probably not terribly heavy?

Honestly it isnt bad offhand......but I havent shot it off the bench yet lol

I like how you stood out front, right in front of and next to sign "Shooting from bench ONLY"

You looked like you were having fun though and your audience appeared to appreciate your mobile field artillery.

I am green with envy. That is one huge chunk of lead.

I believe the brits tropical and african dangerous game hunters sighted their express rifles from a standin bench. I certainly would, and often shoot from a rest over the tonneau cover of my pickup truck.
