not just beautiful, they’re the most practical gun for dangerous game hunting.
I never really trophy hunt thus if I can’t make fajitas out of it I don’t hunt it. I used to pack a simple Rem 870 Pump riot gun loaded with slugs as my bear defense when stationed up in AK. A friend mentioned that it was far better to have TWO (2) firing pins that one (1) thus I swapped the 870 for a Old US Gun Company Knickerbocker that had ummmm a barely legal set of barrels left on it and loaded that with slugs . Good short easy handling camp & fishing rig.
Poor Boy Howdah per se !
I like the 460 Weatherby double better though as I have it and it works well and I have zero problems with the recoil it generates.
The Knickerbocker is still taken as a camp gun as well for others to use if needed......
