The Krieghoff Classic Big Five is a side-by-side dangerous-game double rifle scaled for the largest African calibers, with sidelock action, 24-inch regulated barrels, and hand-detachable locks. The .470 Nitro Express chambering delivers approximately 5,100 ft-lbs of energy at 50 yards — adequate for stopping a charging Cape buffalo or elephant. Krieghoff's precision regulation process ensures both barrels print within two inches of each other at 50 meters. The Big Five designation identifies this as a rifle intended for Africa's five most dangerous species.
