When hunting cats in shrubs and the tall grass what gun would you like in your hands?

Question:
What would you preffer?

Choices:
Twig and an elephant
45-70 leveraction
Shotgun
600 Overkill
500 S&W

 

Lightning speed killers vs what rig?

twig
leveraction
shotgun
bolt
handgun

I'd say a 500S&W or a 45/70 would be a sufficient round to stop Shir Khan in his tracks.

I chose the 45/70 I just wonder how the elephant would respond to the shot

I was thinking maybe 45-70 and elephant. I could drop the tiger with my 405 grainer moving at 1000 fps (normally my squirrel load), then turn on the elephant and put the remaining 4 shells from my guide gun into him. Surely I would receive full penetration of the elephant, which would drop on the spot. Preferably someone with a camera would be present, then we could post the pictures on the Big Bore Forum!

hmmmm

I'd have to say twig and elephant, going from that video it looks quite exciting

i went for elephant, then i would have the nice guide to throw before the tiger. in a perfect situation i would have a sxs 12 gauge paradox to finish of the tiger.

Benelli M1 Super 90

Factory Pistol Grip Stock

18" Barrel

Fiber Optic Rifle Sights

Long tube magazine

3" Mag OOO Buck!

That would be 10 shots of a hot .357 mag x 7 rounds faster than you can say "Here Kitty Kitty!!"

12ga pump shotgun with a rifled barrel

First two rounds would be winchester supreme sabot slugs
behind that would be 00-buck.

And yes, I do CLEARLY understand that the one place the buckshot DO NOT GO is point of aim from a rifled barrel.
Atleast not until you target gets REAL CLOSE.

a pair of howdah pistols; thats what they were meant for.

Boomstick, there is a woman with 75 tigers in a "tiger rehab" program 3 miles from my deer cabin. I send her donations to help feed the cats. With a little luck, the next tornado may provide some real hunting opportunities!

My gun of choice in tracking a tiger would be something on the order of Jim Corbett's 450/400 Double, and I just happen to have a 9,3x74R in a double, which is perhaps the perfect big cat medicine. I am taking it to the Gran Chaco this year for buffalo, brocket deer, scrub bull, capybara, puma, and perhaps extinct giant ground sloth.

Soldiers in WW2 used 30-06 03A3 Remingtons & M1 Garands in Nam M-14's & M 16's killed a lot of big cats
