Hoppdoc , I see you have drawn 24 views before me, and no-one seems prone to offer an opinion!

It is my condidered opinion, that no shotgun is the best choice for follow-up for a wounded Leopard, and I doubt you will get a second shot on a leopard from a blind, so we are discussing a follow-up. I do agree, however, if one does use the shotgun, the best choice in ammo would be a pair of Brenneke slugs! I, on the other hand, would rather have a good 9.3X74R double with a low powered, illuminated scope, in a quality set of QD rings and bases, and a set trigger on the right barrel, for the first shot from the blind. Then remove the scope for the trip to the tree, or for follow-up, if he gets in the weeds!

It is a matter of record, almost everyone who has been mauled by a wounded leopard, was following him with a shotgun. Admittedly, most of those were useing Buckshot, not slugs, and at the ranges you stand a leopard charge a shotgun has a pattern of less than 3". With the Drilling, if that is what I wanted to use, it would be a double 9.3X74R, or 375H&H flanged, with the shot barrel on the bottom useing a Brenneke slug. The recovery time from a 9.3 round, is much faster than from a 12 ga slug, and the bottom barrel is too slow to get into action, regardless, of what the top pair are chambered for!

Now that the opinion is expressed, let me tell you I have not taken a leopard, with any firearm, but I do know fire arms, and what they are capable of performing! So the opinion, above, can be taken with a grain of salt, but it is cheap, at the price you are paying for it!
