Many of us love to play with them...I guess nostalgia is playing a big part here..
But when do you really need it..? You could argue that a PH need/want one for back-up on DG, right..?
As a hunter (I dont like the client badge..) I favor a double on an elephant hunt...two fast large caliber shots at very close range....and on a driven hunt for lets say wild boars in Europe..they can be big, fast and plain downright nasty...a hunting buddy almost got killed by a big one..
But the difference is not very big….a bolt rifle will handle most situations splendidly….soooo that begs the question:
- Are we fooling ourselves a bit here.. ?
