Subject: Re: The Paradox - is there a modern place for it?

Gosh Alan, I guess you got me. As I said, paradox guns are pretty good for pigs. So are shotgun slugs. But not for the big stuff like elephant, hippo, rhino and cape buffalo.

How many elephant have you shot with your rifled shotguns?

Any pics?

We all know that a Paradox is not for Pachyderms, neither is a .22LR or a 30-06. Would you say they have no modern place left? A Paradox gives the hunter an option of a shotgun or a rifle in one weapon. Not many Quail are shot with a 300RUM and not many Elk are shot with a 12 Gauge. With a Paradox you can do both, with alternating shots from the same weapon. That is why it is a Paradox.
