The 28 is hardly useless my friend, that statement is rather an unfair judgement. Actually the 28 shoots a faster velocity than the 12 or the 20 Fauneta LT's according to the book. Of course less grains in bullet weight but still very useful and more accurate at longer ranges due to its flatter trajectory. As quoted from the Westley Richards book 'Guns & Rifles' 1812-1912. Two hunters in the book expressed how useful it was in Africa at long ranges. A small portion of a quote as follows; "and kills game up to the size of Zebra as well as any other rifle." They also mention other quotes by known hunters of the day with regards to big Moose being taken and even Crocodile with the 28.

Ross Seyfried will also attest to the fact of how useful the 28 is, as we have spoken at length about his 28 droplock and its performance.

To each his own I suppose as far as calibre choice, but I would use a 28 any day and feel comfortable with it. Not to mention resale and collectability is much higher as well on that piece.

Would love to see them introduce the Explora as well, don't bet me wrong. But the OP asked about the Fauneta not the Explora.
