was reasonable.
Notes. This ammo coupled with
caliber .45/70, despite the standard-
classic design, proved well suited for
wild boar hunting, mainly for being
balanced and steady, both for external and
terminal ballistic performance. Clearly the
market offers something better today - see
LeverEvolution and Barnes VOR-TX - but
for those who do not like to get “knocked”
on the shoulder or pay the obvious
extra cost for high-tech ammo, without
sacrificing accuracy and lethality, this is
where they can go.
I have always been very fond of this
type of firearm because I love solid, reliable
and accurate firearms, in short those on
which I can rely on especially at difficult
times. My preference was developed during
the years I lived in Africa and in over 150
big game hunting trips in Africa and North
America, places where these qualities are
mandatory, not optional.
What impressed me most of the
Kodiak rifle is its exceptional adaptability,
in terms of mechanical, ballistics and
functional properties, to any hunting
context, simply by changing ammunition
and / or sights package.
A significant added value for a
weapon that, based on a 125 years old
principle, still has its say, and with great
authority. The sale price, therefore, is
not only worth the purchase, but can be
considered a bargain regarding the ratio
quality- price-performance of the weapon
and its legacy.
