My two proven DG rifles look pretty ordinary, but they have been very effective in the field:
1895 .405 WCF:
1886 45-90 :
450 grain Kodiak at 2150 fps knocked down ele- finished it off with NF and Punch. Also took three buff (450 Kodiak) and one leopard (Nosler PP) with one shot kills.
Bullets and bullet placement are the key.
