big game rifle
Elephant hunter's weapon
A big game rifle is a firearm designed to hunt large animals—elk, moose, bear, African plains game, or dangerous species like cape buffalo and lion.
These rifles fire powerful cartridges capable of delivering enough energy to kill quickly and humanely at range.
The term distinguishes them from smaller-caliber rifles used for varmints or target shooting: He brought his big game rifle for the elk hunt.
