Hunting the African Big 5 with Percussion Muzzleloaders (w/ Val Forgett)

Today we are back with Val Forgett and another story about the history of Navy Arms. When his father was making reproduction sidelock percussion guns, he wanted to prove that they were still viable hunting arms. So he took a pair of .58 caliber rifles (one single and one side-by-side) to Africa for a series of safaris to hunt the “Big 5”. And, having loaded the guns to the same muzzle energy as a .416 Rigby, he did just that.
