Seems like a SxS 10 gauge turned into a howday shooting this:

would work, of course the broken wrist surgery could be extensive ...


Maybe that Ruger 454 Casull Alaskan isn't such a bad idea, but man that little revolver does hurt to shoot too!

The Purdy is superb. I have fired a short (16in) sxs 12 g with 40gm loads one handed and I can only say that it was memoriable. Would certainly be the goods for something mean up close.

I think that little Purdy has to be the loveliest howdah I have ever seen.

That cabela/pedersoli offering is interesing. Seems like a fine line here between a illegal shotgun and antique pistol. Is percussion muzzle loader exempt? Might be good on rabbit in the thick stuff with a screw in choke.

Yes they are exempt. Cherry's sells all three versions ( sxs 20 ga, sxs 50 cal, sxs combo). They are a blast to shoot.
