“Being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world …” I didn’t finish the line from the 1970s movie, “Dirty Harry,” which put the .44 Magnum on the map. My hunting buddy’s laughter as he said, “I don’t think he cares,” had me laughing at myself.
We weren’t hunting at the time, just out scouting for moose before the season. The seismic trail we followed was lined with thick brush on either side and the brown bear, whom I was speaking to, had stepped onto the trail maybe 30 yards ahead of us.

Kidding aside, probably the best choice for really, REALLY large dangerous mammals in the wild is a Marlin Guide Gun (or comparable) in 45-70, using Garrett's unparalleled cartridges.
Garrett's claim is that their heaviest loads will shoot end-to-end through a Cape Buffalo.
Yeah. That oughtta do it. I think. [grin] |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
