What gun do Professional Hunters like to use?

My PH in Tanzania was never without his Austrian sidelock double in 500 NE.

Never saw him fire it, tho'.
 
Oh boy. You opened a can of worms.
I'm re-reading John Taylor's "Pondoro" wherein he states that he killed any number of leopards with buckshot while hunting them at night for their furs. The market price was up at the time.

I have an unfired T rex 577 if anyone is interested in acquiring it . Absolutely spotless, flawless and well kept . It's rare as it gets . Mouth watering ? Let me know if you feel like making an offer .

I need to know if this is legit. Photo with today's paper would do it.

Thanks

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
