WELCOME TO BIG FIVE HQ, YOUR ONLINE SOURCE FOR HEAVY CALIBER RIFLES, SAFARIS AND SAFARI GEAR!

We proudly welcome both buyers and sellers to our virtual "gun show". You have landed in the "Big Five" hall, where sellers offer medium and heavy caliber magazine and double rifles, hunting safaris, optics, reloading tools and supplies, and gear of particular interest to big game hunters in a safe, convenient, supervised venue. This is the home of the proprietary "Bad Boy" range of semi-custom dangerous game safari rifles. We have more double rifles in inventory than any other dealer, including the Chapuis range of double rifles, the FinnClassic/Valmet over-under system gun, and bespoke rifles by various English, German and Austrian makers. We also offer a hand-picked selection of big game magazine rifles by Steyr, Mannlicher-Schoenauer, Sako, Mauser, and various custom makers. Participation is open to anyone who can legally purchase an item, whether that's a rifle, a scope or a set of dies. There is no charge whatsoever to buyers. Sellers must be federally licenced dealers, or bona-fide accessory manufacturers. There are no fly-by-night gundealers or hobby/collector sellers on this site. And you won't find any knick-knacks, jewellery, or gum on offer. Everything on this site is relevant to our big game hunting and safari theme. If you are interested in small caliber rifles, bird guns, or other firearms, you will find those on our "Sister Sites", which you can navigate to using the main menu to your left. To browse the merchandise, simply click "Online Store" on the menu. New sellers are welcome, and yes we have other "halls" where your small game, bird and varmint hunting gear will be showcased. We can even create a "hall" dedicated to your merchandise using your own URL. Just click on the "Apply to Sell" link to the left and we will explain in detail how it all works.
