Westley Richards .375 x 2½" w/16" bbls

This the obviously short barrelled rifle I was thinking about in my post above.

One consideration for a howdah saddle hunting rifle might be lower recoil for hunting ease. Sitting on a wooden seat or platform the body will be more prone to suffer from recoil, with less whip available in body movement. The biggest bore recoiling rifles may not be appropriate.

A smaller case such as a 2 1/2" .375 will recoil less, the blast from such a short 16 1/2" barrel will not be as great, and less need for larger powder cases to burn all their powder in a shorter barrel.
