[QUOTE="Gowge, post: 10612, member: 1870"] Dakor, this is the gun the oldtimers used for very dangerous game at the bottom of this post... Notice the weight of the slugs and the velocity listed. It's still a sure killer of big, dangerous game, but the Sir Samuel Baker mentioned on the page liked even bigger bore guns than this example! Since you have a long time before you head to Alaska, you could read some of his exploits in America, shooting Griz in the Rockies, in Africa, India & Ceylon during the mid 19th Centrury - his books are online and FREE @ Gutenberg Project: [url="http://www.gutenberg.net/"]http://www.gutenberg.net/[/url] My favorite is "Wild Beasts And Their Ways, Reminiscences Of Europe, Asia, Africa And America " He gets to hunt with some real Mountain Men while he's here in America. It's on this link below: [url="http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/3657"]http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/3657[/url] Albert N'Yanza, Great Basin Of The Nile, The by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Jan 2003 Cyprus, As I Saw It In 1879 by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Jan 2003 Eight Years' Wanderings In Ceylon by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Jan 2000 In The Heart Of Africa by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: May 2002 Ismailia by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Jan 2003 Nile tributaries of Abyssinia, and the sword hunters of the Hamran arabs, The by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Mar 2000 Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon, The by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: May 2002 Wild Beasts And Their Ways, Reminiscences Of Europe, Asia, Africa And America -- Volume 1 by Baker, Samuel White, Sir Released: Jan 2003 Good Luck!
