I have been fascinated with big bore rifles for a long time. Sometimes I think I would like to get one just to shoot paper. Probably not a 4-bore or .700 Nitro Express, but possibly a .375 H&H or a .458 Win Mag/ or Lott.
I wouldn't count out a trip to Africa some day, but a salmon fishing trip to Alaska (or moving there one day) is more likely. Of course, I could use either rifle on elk here in Colorado or for black bear protection in the spring or fall when the bears sometimes break into homes in my area. Maybe a little overpowered for anything in Colorado, but it would be neat to have one.
Has anyone else gotten a big bore just because you wanted one? What is the recommendation of chambering if you have?
