Thanks Jorge, I'll be looking towards a 375 Flanged as I age, I believe it to be effective for all game hunting without the brutal recoil of the heavies. cool

JorgeI,

Thanks for posting this, very interesting. I remember "The Last Safari and of course King Soloman's mines. I also remember he was the fiancier who hired the "Wild Geese".

It seems without any supporting data that there were a lot more hunting/shooting leading men during this era than now for sure.

I think that guy would have a better experience if he grabbed the barrels instead of the sticks.

Definitely, I had my left index finger across the top of the barrels and hand grasp on the sticks. The finger had no affect.

Next time that guy will have firm hold on the forearm and probably off hand. I don't particularly like shooting from sticks if I don't have to.
