On a recent Nilgai hunt, the Nilgai didnt cooperate, but a last minute Axis was irresistible. .275 Rigby, of course. "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..."

I really like that photo. Good to see the .275 Rigby seems to work almost as well as the 7mm Mauser. Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"

Leopards do and Axis, too, seems to be a common theme. (grin) And you shoot them. Nice Axis and the rifle's cool, also.
