Well a true story about another lion hunt in Zimbabwe. A mate, a member here on NE hunted lion. He shot the lion, it ran off into the thick bush. The PH REFUSED to follow it up and went and sat in the bakkie, so my mate went in alone with his old model Blaser .375. And yes collected his lion with his bolt action.
I would hate to have a bloody single shot at such a time.
Actually my friend, he was a member of these forums, I haven';t spoken to him for years! Must do so. He said he fired over twenty shots at anything that moved ... so a single shot would have result in wrist RSI I think reloading so often. But did end up shooting his wounded lion.
The black PH meanwhile sat in the bakkie too frightened to do his job .... not a good story for the reputation of modern black African PHs though I assume most would be better than this.
