I'm starting to gain interest in big bores, mainly for hunting boar and coyote, I can't legally hunt deer in my state, but I'd like to have a big bore for deer hunting in other states. I know I could just get a Gamo and take down elephants, but I don't want to go that route. I've never handled any big bores and don't know anything about any of them. I'd like to get the best shot count to power average, but the other thing I'm concerned with is ammo availability and what caliber is going to give me the most choices and be readily available. I'm thinking that with the Rogue coming out shortly that 9MM/.357 air rifle ammo will be in constant supply. I currently have 2 Careers and an Evanix, but only in .22 and .25 cal., I've been more than pleased with my Korean rifles. I know there's supposed to be an Air Force big bore conversion coming out soon, but as with the Gamo option I don't want to go that route. So, can some of you who have had experience in the big bore department give me some input?
I'm thinking more along the lines of 50 yds and out, .45 or .50 cal. is starting to become more appealing over the 9MM/.357.
