Lever action on TAA

[375er]

Season 18, Episode one features a large bore lever action used on Buffalo. Does anyone know what it is??

 

[Tundra Tiger]

NoPe. But I'm all ears.

Gimme a couple weeks. I may have my own installment.

Do you have a picture of it by chance?

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

Did it look like this?

 

[JimP]

Or did it look like this

 

[375er]

Looked like this

 

[JimP]

Looks like a Winchester 1886 that came in a number of cartridges from 45-70 up to 50-110

 

[375er]

Has very nice wood on it. 50-110 I can believe.I didn't recognise the cartridge when they we loading it.

 

[AustinM]

It looks like a Turnbull 1886, so if the cartridge has a shoulder on it, it is possible that it could be a 475 Turnbull. If not, then any of the previously mentioned cartridges are a possibility.

It looks like it may be a Turnbull rifle IMO

Great minds think alike

I saw that episode, I think it was in Uganda. One of the buffalo hunts turned into a shit show gun fight.

You're taking your 99 right?

You're taking your 99 right?

Hi @CJW ... That is correct: the 99 (.300 Savage) for PG. I am also taking my .45-70; I have not ruled out another cow buffalo hunt.

Good luck, is your daughter still going with you? Y’all have a wonderful time and can’t wait to see the pictures and write up.
