Gents thanks for the nice words on my 86. It is plain but functional.

The curved metal butt plate has never pinched or punished me. With the lower tip tucked into my armpit, even the African DG loads just make the heavy barrel rise and come back down on target; by then another round has been levered into the chamber.

Yes, having the 50-110 available would make another option for large and dangerous game.

Ripp speculated upon the reaction of a typical African PH to seeing their first big bore lever gun.
He is correct, but some outfitters have learned that Texans like their levers and will pay good money to come to Africa and shoot game.

Even the landowners like to check out the levers that will be used to shoot Cape Buffalo. When one saw my Winchester 1895 .405 before the hunt, he was quite curious, so I opened the action and let him handle the empty rifle. Next,he got to check the 400 grain Woodleigh ammo and agreed that it would do the job. It did:

Things like this add a little spice to the hunt.
