I'm sure they are out there, but I don't know of any others than the Zeus 72. What I can say after owning a 16" for a couple of years is that you likely want the 24 or 32" for longer distance accuracy. The 16" is mega loud and has a ton of muzzle rise to it. I find it hard to be accurate past 20-25 yards.

That is the information I needed. The 16 inch was my first choice. That is why I always ask the experts question. MY main target are wild hogs. We are over run. Shot over 200 last year. Donated them to churches and poor famlies.
@Socommfg I don't know a lot about .72 caliber big bores, but XP makes a nice looking set of big bores. Check into this .72 cal bullpup w/32" barrel. If you don't like bullpups, then look into the Quigley.
If interested in further details shoot the owner Dan an email.

Cast your own slugs for less then 25 cents in lead each, no worries about ammo shortage, or ammo lot quality ( your in control of that ).Also keep in mind, you can shoot .308 Win. for around the same cost per shot!

New to big bores that sounds amazing to me. What's the power and I would love to keep the same power and have caliber change kits, is that available?

Just tired of CF guns. What is the challenge? I have had Barretts before and a Class 2 mfg'er. Try feeding a GE 134.Also keep in mind, you can shoot .308 Win. for around the same cost per shot!

Decades ago I had a friend with a 7.62 mini-gun(and literally over a hundred other full auto's), I never paid a penny to shoot it or any of his. If it was my money, full auto's would not be fed, too much money going downrange too fast, but they are awesome to shoot. Needless to say he was very wealthy.

When I closed the mfg company I had over 1200 Transferable. What a pain with the paper work and batfe, Paperwork took over a year. Back when I bought 308 for $35M. I had 10 tables at Knob Creek 2x year. There were only 10 134's in transferable hands.

I have an XP .72 carbine with an 18" barrel and an XP .72 pistol with a 14" barrel. Rifle makes about 720fpe, pistol about 400fpe. The rifle is good out to 40 or 50 yards. The pistol is for up close, within 25 yards. Both are 2 shot guns. In terms of quality I don't think you'll find another gun made this well, the only thing is you'll have to wait but it's totally worth it. If I run out of ammo I could probably beat a hog to death with either of them.

Just curious if that 16 inch Zeus is a gen 1 or 2. I have a gen 1 that I’ve taken deer with twice at ranges up to 45yrds. A friend of mine ad a gen 2 that had a bad barrel. I view the gun as a 60yrd and in for myself. Every deer hit went no more that 10yrds so far. Once that barrel was replaced on the gen 2 a deer was harvested with the same no tracking results.

It’s good a good 3 shots. We fill to 4000 psi and I’m currently using a 460gr Mr hollow point. I was using 530 and switched.
