Unlikely you could stuff a 45-90 in a Marlin 336." NO PTOBLEM! ALL MY .45 CALIBER RIFLES ARE EITHER WINCHESTER OR DOUBLES.

JUST A REMINDER THAT WITH A 45-90, YOU CAN SHOOT 45-70 OR 45-90 AMMPO , YOUT CHOICE. ONE RIFLE FROM ELVES TO EMEPHANTS.

Keep up the good work. Plenty wild pigs for all.

The Punch and North Fork solids worked quite well on elephant brain shots for my 1886 .45-90 also. Both are excellent solids.

As usual, modern resource extraction and utilization will dramatically change the economy of Namibia. Let us hope that is done to the benefit if the Namibian population as well as the benefit of the populations that benefit from the Namibian natural resources.

Gee, now if I did not already have two custom made big bore doubles, ???

I inherited a .338 Win Mag from my older brother and promised to take it to Africa for plains game. It performed well there ( six one shot kills ) and later in Colorado with a one shot kill on a Texas Heart Shot on a fleeing bull elk. My adult son had been thinking of a Lapua .338, but after he...

Thank you! He is mounted outdoors with skull and antlers overlooking our courtyard. The Texas Heart Shot went through left ham and all the way to the base of the neck. Made a real mess of all the innards. Bull did not go 100 yards after shot.

Best wishes on your quest. I must confess to cutting corners on this type African rifle and just using an inherited Ruger 77 chambered in .338 Win Mag. Seven African animals with one shot kills plus a trophy elk that was departing at 110+ YARDS.

I began centerfire with a .308 and then entered the Big Bore rifle range by starting with a .405 WCF and then adding a .458 ( .45-90 - handloaded to .458 Win mag power). Never fooled with the mid thirties. Still wonder at all the fuss about them.

A photo (taken in a New Mexico prairie dog town) of my solution to the "kill all gun" from years back; Savage varmint/ turkey hunting combo with scoped .22 Hornet over 3 inch 12 Gauge. Plus an 18 inch 45-70 barrel insert that is good for deer and such out to 100 yards. Has taken a lot of...

On second thought, 10 pages of this post is more than enough!

Thanks to all that commented on using the Magnetospeed on a double rifle. My son was all for it, but since I also have single barrel rifle of the same caliber and barrel length as the two double rifles, I decided just to measure the velocity from the single barrel rifles and call it done. My...

To hog patrol, It was an attach problem.

TRied it on DR an it wAS A NO GO. However, I have a single barrel rifle of same caliber and barrel length as both of my DRs. Problem solved.
