That boys jaw doesn't look quite right  

Nice picture and cool old gun.  I've been thinking of getting an old 30-30 and whacking a bear up close and personal.  I have a picture of my great grandfather and a big bear using a gun just like that.  Think it would be cool to have an antiqued picture wearing the same old clothes and shooting the same old gun and marrying the images so we are standing side by side.

I havent killed anything with it but i have a double barrel shotgun stamped 1872.  I need to research the manufacture.

1888 Cogswell and Harrison double rifle .500 express black powder cartridge if I ever draw a moose tag in Washington I'm going to use it. And yes I do shoot it.

I keep going back and looking at this picture very cool nice buck  what range and load did you shoot ?

[Angry Perch]

Sixty-ish yards with cheap factory Winchester ammo. I had added the Marble tang sight just a week before, and absolutely love it. It just feels right carrying that gun in the woods. (Although in this case, it was grab it out of the back seat, throw a couple rounds in, and let it rip)
