Re: some "interesting" Winchester BigBores ....
Thank you for posting the link. I am a fan of the cartridges and the rifles. I believe both rifles are fairly priced for what they are.
Years ago when Chris cash and I were looking at Big Bore rifle serial numbers a Beartooth forum member posted about a Monte Carlo stocked angle eject .375 which was not drilled or tapped for scope mounts. I believe I have only heard of the one AE rifle with MC stock which was not drilled for scope mounts. While these are not good pictures they at least illustrate the prototype rifles were drilled for scope mounts. It makes that one rifle even more interesting. I wish I knew its serial number.

Interesting rifles....would be neat to own one of those. Wish I could pull those bigger pictures up but for some reason I can never get logged on/registered correctly. Sure hope I can get back to those serial numbers Slim and come up with some more concise dates of manufacture. Good to see your post!
