JOHAN CALITZ' DOUBLE
Just had a good look at it on the latest episode. It appears to be a beautiful sidelock, CCH and a single trigger. Anybody know the caliber and make? I guess I can always ask him next month at DSC Smiler

Jorge, I know he has at least one B. Searcy and maybe others! He also has other makes but I don't know what the other makes are.

I watched a video of Johann he was hunting buf and client shot and knocked buf down. both Johann and client walked up to it without firing a,(are you playing dead shot) and Johann was in the lead. The buf jumped up and came for him. Have him both barrels of a 500 and was pushed fell backwards on his butt and buf between his legs. His, Jjohann's hat was under bufs head.
Video after showed Johann with a case of the shakes. A very close call.
My lesson learned don't assume...

Best wishes.
