    Sasquatch, I didn't know NZ had populations of feral elephant! I'm picking that is not your traditional bunny-rifle.

    @Ben Waimata I was hoping to take it out bunny busting at least once...

    @northdude, @tikka, @akaroa1 yup it a T/C Katahdin carbine in 45-70 GOVT. Think it might be the only one in NZ

    Awesome rifle
    Yes that model was an itch I nearly had to scratch but the issues getting them were significant.
    So I started a 45-70 double rifle instead

    Come on guys it's only a 45-70 isn't it ?

    Perfectly sensible caliber for NZ bush hunting

    Just think of it as America's version of the 308 only twice the age

    @gonetropo It recoils hard compared to the standard Winchester white box, but the Hornady Lever groups better in this rifle.

    Thanks @akaroa1

    @Mr Browning, haha that's what I was going for!

    A well ventilated chest cavity with a .45 entry and considerably larger exit hole is the objective here.
    The skin doesn't slide over the hole and the diaphragm can't pressurize the chest cavity.
    Blood trail looks like a garden hole

    And even better you can eat right up to the hole
