Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Current value of Jack lott 1983 Big Bore Rifles G&A publication

Seems not to be available anywhere. Have a fair-good condition copy to sell but don't know where to price it.

I have seen them advertised for $250 but don’t know if they ever got that.
It is a very interesting edition as it was Edited and primarily written by Jack Lott and he describes his infamous dustup with a Cape buffalo that tossed him. In it he credits Wally Johnson , using Jack’s 458 Win, for saving his life. He also admits that he gut shot the buffalo and that the 458 Win worked perfectly!
In the second edition, that came out a few years later, Jack was promoting his 458 Lott wildcat and wrote a completely different story !
And years later, in an article published by Wolfe Pub, Jack blamed the 458 Win !

A gut shot animal can run a long way, expect a Cape Buffalo would have a lot of fight if gut shot.

Very succinct summary there.
Truly a literary gem by a legendary wordsmith.
I am copying it to the .458 WinMag thread and will try not to detract too much from it by elaboration.

Carbon12. I bought that one to replace the pretty tattered one I originally bought back in 1983(?) and the later ones. The first was the best.

Don’t recall all of them be very expensive, maybe USD $50 for three shipped to Aus. Mind you, this was about five or more years ago.

I also have it as a pdf.
