Re: Whitetail Safari Rifle? Pedersoli's .72 Caliber Safari Expre

Glen May, if the article is dead now on the internet, I'd love to host the whole article including photos here on thevNitroExpress.com forums.
I might have saved it all on my laptop. That laptop is currently dead, however the HDD may be fine.

Well it appears I am back in the Kodiak business with a .58 expected shortly. I have had two .58s and one of the .72s and boy they were a lot of fun. Sad to see that the links to Mr. May's article are now dead.

Whitetail Safari Rifle?
By Glenn D. May
Associate Field Editor, Montana
When we think of the word “safari” our minds conjure many images. High on this mental list (at least for gun nuts) are double rifles. These twin tube wonders are a surprisingly practical throwback from a time long gone. While firearms technology has advanced to the point that it’s no longer seen as practical to carry around what basically amounts to a second rifle just to ensure a bang when we drop the hammer, there is still an element of practicality to the logic (wisdom?) behind these rifles. They handle and point like shotguns (even if they are heavier), they do ensure that there will indeed be a bang, and if needed the follow up shot can be nearly instant.

Now, like most gun nuts, I have lusted after a big bore double rifle for most of my life. Also, like many (if not most) I never thought I’d be able to afford one of these dead sexy death dealers. However, I was able to get my slick mitts on a Pedersoli Kodiak Safari Express that, frankly, scratches my double rifle itch very nicely.
I bet that many of you reading this have perhaps considered throwing down the not insubstantial coin to get one of these bad boys for yourself. Like myself, you probably have many questions and concerns about it. You have likely scoured the internet for answers to no avail, I know I did. Well, I have spent the last year getting sweet and intimate with mine and I will do all I can to steer you right.
