Misc What’s the largest caliber rifle that’s available in the open market?

I was scrolling through Reddit earlier and came across a historical post featuring a Boys anti-tank rifle. It got me wondering:
What's the largest caliber rifle you personally own?
And out of curiosity, what's the largest caliber rifle that's currently available on the market?
Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers and maybe a few pictures too.

Cheers

I know 338 lapua is still allowed. All the big calibers got banned as falsely being interpreted as ‘anti-material’

I really wanted a GM6 Lynx or Cadex Tremor

I wanted the lynx for years. Then I saw a YouTube review (I think Brandon Herrera) who showed the gun was sub standard. Poor accuracy and feed issues. Kinda glad I didn't sink those massive dollars on a mediocre gun that is a paperweight now
