They dated from the 1920's to 1950's and the price range was from $120,000 to $250,000. WOW! Holland and Holland also produced a .700 caliber double rifle. Also I found this monster of a gun. It's called a 4-Bore. It weighs a whopping 24 pounds. <img src="http://www.african-hunter.com/4bore_part1_p1p20v5no4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The gun on the left is a Holland and Holland .500 Express. The gun on the right is a 4-Bore double rifle. The so-called 4-Bore’s bullet diameters varied widely in the cartridge versions usually around .935 to .955 with the true one inch size normally found only in the old muzzle loading rifles. The 4-Bore size being an old reference measurement of 4-Balls to the pound of lead, which computes out to 1750 grains of weight. The cartridge rifles usually fired projectiles weighing around 1850 grains. Holland and Holland’s custom built the one and only Nitro loaded 4-Bore for a Maharajah.</blockquote>
