Now, regarding my statement that if I was limited to the 375H&H and a Paradox gun I wouldn't be bad off at all. Noting the Paradox gun's poor suitability for deep penetration in dangerous game and its limited range, I would choose the 375H&H for those tasks. But, when walking about the bush for nearly anything else, the Paradox is a boon. Add to that the ability to shoot bird shot and the two guns, a 375H&H and a Paradox, would complement each other nicely.






I nearly added a 12 bore paradox instead of the 270 but you had already covered it.

As to your statement above; The more things change, the more they are the same or Like minds think the same thoughts, may be appropriate here.
