I was puzzled by his bear rifle having a blind magazine, no floor plate, no barrel sights.
It would be harder to clear in case of a jam.
It would not be dumping a magazine of ammo with a floor plate popping open, however.
Of course a jam would never happen with the sleekly tapered .375 H&H, heh-heh-heh.
But the cartridge weight is so light that a magazine full of them would never pop open a floor plate, heh-heh-heh.
It's a wash, heh-heh-heh.
His rifle looked like a stainless M70 Classic .375 H&H in a synthetic stock, non-factory barrel ?
Was it a Remchester like a Kimber ?
I wonder what he would say if I showed up with a stainless-synthetic .458 WinMag
with 404-gr Shock Hammer at 2500 fps ?
He would probably think it was OK if I was paying for the hunt.
No backup iron sights on barrel and he carries the rifle like a briefcase, gripping the scope with one hand like a bucket handle.
To be continued after the bear is down ...
