Shakari; I agree about the shotgun, though I have no experience shooting leopard. I do have experience shooting coyotes, monkey's and stock-chasing dogs with buckshot and the yotes & monks are very lightly-built critters, and I have tested various sizes in my media.

Monkeys? Can you elaborate?

Re: Your comment about the M1 carbine. Audie Murphy, who knew a lot about combat marksmanship, went into action carrying a M1 carbine in his hands and a M1 rifle slung over his shoulder for long shots. John George ("A Rifleman Went To War") was also a fan of the carbine, preferring it to the Thompson SMG for close quarters work.

I would think a Model 92 Winchester in .32-20 or .44-40 or a Model 94 in .44 Magnum would be as good, if not better, and would have the advantage of not being semi-automatic. Both were designed by John Browning, a man who knew a thing or two about stock design for instinctive shooting.
