Impressive Dugga Taken With Lever Rifle

Post by RANisbet »

Been dreaming of an African hunt.
Came across a picture of a very nice Buff taken with what appears to be an old lever rifle.

Ed is correct. They still work down there, especially with modern bullets!

If the barrel size is any indication, I'd say that chances are it is a .405 WCF, or at least a .35 WCF. :)

Look how torn up that buffs nose is. I wonder what he tangled with?
