Shakari; I agree about the shotgun, though I have no experience shooting leopard. I do have experience shooting coyotes, monkey's and stock-chasing dogs with buckshot and the yotes & monks are very lightly-built critters, and I have tested various sizes in my media.

Monkeys? Can you elaborate?

Re: Your comment about the M1 carbine. Audie Murphy, who knew a lot about combat marksmanship, went into action carrying a M1 carbine in his hands and a M1 rifle slung over his shoulder for long shots. John George ("A Rifleman Went To War") was also a fan of the carbine, preferring it to the Thompson SMG for close quarters work.

I would think a Model 92 Winchester in .32-20 or .44-40 or a Model 94 in .44 Magnum would be as good, if not better, and would have the advantage of not being semi-automatic. Both were designed by John Browning, a man who knew a thing or two about stock design for instinctive shooting.




Monks as in red colubus in Congo almost 30 years ago.

Xausa, George's book is "Shots Fired in Anger". "A Rifleman went to War" was written by McBride.

Others liked the carbine, too. The great classic "The Jungle is Neutral", by F Spencer Chapman, DSO includes his very positive opinions of the carbine when they were dropped to guerilla groups in Malaya late in the war. Considered superb tools for hunting pigs, even with the FMJ ammo, he says few were handed in after the war was over. The handiness, lethality and the fact that all ammo made for them was NON-corrosive made them very appealing to jungle dwellers.

That tome is a must-read and still serves as a classic text for various service Escape-Evasion schools, so I am told.

Years ago, a friend in Norway told me some dropped from the air during WW2 were used for years on roedeer and such after the war. And I wonder how many still hang in barns and outbuildings in France, Netherlands, etc, etc, etc and are possibly used for this or that even today?

Xausa; I have a Winchester Trapper with 16 1/4 inch barrel in .44 Magnum. IMO, you are right. I can't imagine a finer defense gun for critters like a 150 lb cougar or leopard, especially loaded hot with good expanding bullets or Elmer's sharp-edged LSWC's.
