Heymsr20 said,
But if you need a big thumping DG rifle, get a proper double built for the job, or get a BRNO or CZ bolt action in 458 win with full strength ammo, or have it taken out to 458 Lott."

Dear sir, no offense intended, but I have heard such advice (go get a Lott ) until I am sick of it.

Also I do not need or want a big "thumping DG rifle". I like my 45-90 rifles. I also shoot DG with my Winchester 1895 .405 WCF.

Some folks made fun of using an 1886 45=90 in Africa, but they stopped after my 1886 45-90 took ele, many buff, leopard (could have done that with my .308) and more. Why not, it shot NF 450 grain solids at 2150 fps that shot through ele heads and everything else. PS, the slightly slower 45-70 ammo did the same, excepting the leopard. The 450 solids loaded to less than 40,000 psi.

The folks referenced above seem to have forgotten that it is the bullets that kills the game, not the brand or design of the rifle. I care not what firearms others use so long as they do not tell me to do as they do.
