The host, demonstrating high expertise through detailed ballistic and accuracy testing, found the rifle capable of decent groups but plagued by machining issues and a critical failure during disassembly. While the .375 Ruger cartridge shows impressive power, the rifle's construction raises serious concerns for reliability in demanding situations.

The "Double Deuce" 2-bore rifle is a massive, custom-built firearm primarily for spectacle, not practicality. Its bore measures 1.32 inches, firing a 3,500-grain lead ball with black powder for immense muzzle energy. Weighing 44 pounds, it requires external support to shoulder and fire.

The .950 JDJ rifle, nicknamed 'Fat Mac', is a custom build by SSK Industries featuring the largest sporting purpose cartridge. Its 24.1mm cartridge, derived from a 20mm Vulcan case, fires a 2600-grain bullet at 2200 fps.
