Zombie elephant rifle

[geologist]

Just in case we have an influx of mutant zombie elephants in the Lower Mainland.

With it's 6 round magazine loaded with 300 gr Failsafes and a 120 lumen Fenix LD-10, I thnk I'm covered if the worst comes to worst

I wonder how the 120 lumen strobe would work?

Very nice Vern!

That clock is doomed.

There's very few things that you can't handle with a 7 shot .375 H&H. For those things there's Visa.
That light what make a good wounded leopard tracker.

The magazine holds 6. I think that I could chamber a 7th over the fully loaded magazine by pressing on my extractor but prefer not to abuse the old girl that way. If the zombie elephants were outside our gate, I'd go for it

Chamber the round, then bottom fill the mag. Just make sure the last round lands so it lines up with the follower.
I just go for 6 in mine too since the effort to chamber the first round is high when there is 6 down. A Wisner drop pocket floorplate will take the tension down a bit. I put one on my .416 Rigby so it holds 5 now. No such thing as too much ammo when hunting big, bad tempered critters that come in packs.
Everything that can't be handled with a 7 shot .375 can be persuaded by a 5 shot .416.

Why would you want to shoot that more then 5 times? A heavy calibre + light rifle = not so much fun. Beautiful rig tho!

Not knowing anything about the light mount - it doesn't "look" like it's going to be able to hold on to the light for long.

I maybe/could be/probably am wrong?

 

[agilent_one]

Oh, and, they still make failsafes? Weird.

No way that gun is 'Light'. I would shoot it 100 times in a row if I had zombie elephants around. My H&H holds 4 down plus one if I need it and I thought that was a lot.

looks pretty darn good man!

Shooting those Brno's and CZs are like a maiden's caress. You can shoot them til you burn your hands.

It's a heavy rifle and there's a light on it, but I wouldn't call it a "light rifle" in the slightest. 'specially with it's belly full and that butt-cuff all loaded down. 10.5 lbs anyways.

A very nice rig indeed (and a fine dictionary underneath, too.) I'd be a bit concerned about the stability of the light, though; the mount looks a tad flimsy. Have you tried shooting it with the light on?

I have a Surefire Nitrolon with a Lighthound aftermarket LED lamp (about 200 lumens ) on my Marlin 1894

and it does creep a bit after a few rounds.

As to whether or not your mount stands up will be evident pretty quickly. I've got the Fenix TK-12 mounted on my 590's sidesaddle which I prefer because it brings the light back far enough that I can operate it without need of the pressure switch. Something I've done that you might consider is putting a Butler Creek scope cover over the flashlight lens to keep it clean and free of scratches. I've been interested in seeing how, or if, a bear reacts to the strobe light, but I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet.

What light mount is this?

What light mount is this?

It's a "tool-less" mount from Liotec (liotec.com/Mounting-solutions.htm). I also have a 200 lumen Urnabeam Beacon flashlight I bought from them and originally bought the mount for that. The mount may not be unique to them, though.

The Surefire is lighter, though so it ended up on the Marlin. I glued some thin neoprene on the inside of the jaws to reduce slippage but it will still slip back a bit after several shots, but its not a problem under normal use.
