Daryl,
Funny, you beat me to it. I was about to mention Jack Lott and his .577

Add in the guys like Ray Meyer, Cal Pappas and more that have collected and hunted with vintage hammer double rifles. Lott in his various writings mentions quite a few names from the 1950’s and 1960’s.

PH’s in the 1870’s to early 1900’s saw a lot of dangerous game killed with hammer rifles.....because that is what they had. Maybe these days a PH would have to see a guy use one to become comfortable with the idea?

Me? I hunt Jack Rabbits with hammer double rifles. Are they dangerous? Well ask the Knights in Monty Python “Search for the Holy Grail” about the ferocity of the “killer rabbit”.
