The Single Shot 1890-1920: Why?
      13/02/19 08:42 AM

You heavy nitro big bore {.400 PLUS} gurus, some questions...

Who bought such guns? How popular were they?

And...why?

Was it really that Mausers in the heavier calibers weren't trustworthy and doubles were too expensive?

Curious why a guy in the 1890-1920 era would put up the substantial money for a buffalo/elephant gun in a single shot caliber when other guns were available.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
