Guys, This discussion has been very informative. I had understood that the paradox was really a small and large game gun. I have used my Cogswell & Harrison for quail and ploan to use it with Fosbery style projectiles for deer (just no buffalo in Georgia).

The Westley Magnum gun that I saw was in the shotgun weight range (just handling and not weighing) and chambered for 2 3/4" shells.
