Looks like a .500 Nitro Express round and a British double rifle. The .500's have a long straight case like that, where the .470 is about the same length but a little bit bottle necked. The .577 and .600 are not quite as long. And yes, the rifle is rifled. Still not a "long range" arm, but the ones I've been lucky enough to play with will shoot minute of coffee can at 100 yards. Most are regulated at about 75 yards.
