Shangwari, You're 100% correct!But sometimes carrying an arsenal can also have it's drawbacks! The old adage of 'beware of the man that only carries one gun' rings true!
I was once involved in what became a hilarious charade. I have always been accustomed to carrying my 458. One day, I needed to carry some kit to a Leopard blind about a km away from the car and told the client to bring his 375 with him and off we went. When we got near the blind area, there were some Ele there so I gave the client the box and took the rifle and slung it over my shoulder, took the box back and we carried on. When I got to some meters from the bait, a 'Rattel' came hurtling around the boulder straight at me! Do I need to remind you of the myth of what they go for?! In the next instant I found my self dancing around like a demented Zulu trying to get my feet out of the way as this critter charged in underneath the box where I couldn't see it. I didn't want to drop the box as it contained some electronic kit. In those split seconds a lot went though my mind...was it rabid, was it gonna eat my nuts, I still have a whole season ahead of me and can't afford the injury etc etc!!! The client and my tracker are now rolling around on the ground howling with laughter...at a safe distance of course! Well I dropped the box and then realised I had good boots on so I kicked the critter about 5m! It thought nothing of charging straight back in! I took the rifle and chambered a round...or so I thought...and as it came in close puled the trigger...click! By then it was back in at my feet...another kick....slam the bolt back almost enough to bend the bolt handle...chamber the round and fire!
Now if that had been a Lion, leopard, buff or ele charge and I'd short stroked the action...I'd have been toast!
Be VERY VERY familiar with your DG rifle and stick with it!
just saying!
