Hello all. I've just returned from a hunt for wild bison, about 200 miles north-west of Fort Saint John, British Columbia. A great camp, good guides, beautiful snow-covered Rockies, and saw lots of game, including a wolverine on day one. Attached is a photo of a four-year-old bull that I took at about 120 yards with my self-built double rifle in calibre .450 #2 Nitro Express. GREAT STUFF!!!

Is that one of your BRNO shotgun conversions or did you build that one from scratch?...Geo

George,
These are plains bison that live up there in the mountains with the elk. Yes, it's one that I built on a BRNO ZP-49 12 bore

If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right.
Which you did.
Can we see some closer-up pictures of your gun?

Great job, and a nice looking rifle from what I can see by enlarging the picture. I too would be very interested in hearing more details about the hunt and the building of the rifle.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
