Rifles | .405 Lever Action Rifle

Post by caledonianblues »

.405 Lever Action Rifle
Based off of the rifle that former American President Theodore Roosevelt himself considered his "Medicine Gun" as well as being one of the most manufactured rifles by the Russian Empire, this rifle packs a seriously mean punch. This rifle is very efficient when hunting larger game and is considered a must have by many veterans when out on the hunting safari. Chambered in .405 ammunition.

My preferred Bison weapon where the lack of a scope is of no relevance. Should also be quite welcome in the Australian jungle.

Great gun, love the loading animation. Only thing I don't care for is the ring on the end of the front sight. Gets in the way on long shots.

Nice old and used design, so far unseen loading animations and a very impressing sound when pulling the trigger. Lack of scopes for that cannon is a welcomed challenge.

For me it gets a little tricky to aim and hit beyond 100m, however within 100m the prey normally doesn't run very far.

A blunderbuss-approach to taking down big game. Hits hard and looks great. Only used it a few times but instantly loved it. Voted good, will definitely be using it more. Would have voted excellent had they gone a different route with the rear sight. I would have preferred the rear site to be mounted in front of the receiver, with open sights rather than aperture sights.

Rated good.
I really like this rifle. This is a true cannon. The things I don't like about this rifle is the thick rear sight and the sound when firing with it! It doesn't feel you shoot with a cannon!

Havent used it a lot , still rated it good. Looks beautiful and packs a hard punch. Only downsides are the irons and the disappointing sound ( which i find to be nearly 99% identical with the 10ga )

Yeah, the sound effect isn't overwhelming.

This!
Or at least make the ring like a sight that can be mounted or dismounted.
But I'd go with the removal of the ghost ring altogether in a heartbeat.
