When I grew up and had a thicker wallet I wanted a Boyes rifle:

The importer rebarreled them to .50 BMG.
It's a waste in NH, it begs for a rifle range the size of the North
African desert.

It wouldn't even have been the biggest gun on the street, someone had
one of these:

If you don't have an appropriate tracked vehicle to tow it this is a
"reasonable" compromise:

Riley's gun store in Hooksett NH had one for sale some years ago.

And you think .380 ammo is expensive and hard to find.

My grandpa commanded something like this (if I remember his
