I used a .458 Win Mag to take a doe here on my farm. Despite derogatory articles by certain gun scribes over the years, the .458 proved to be a perfectly adequate caliber for this arduous task ...use enough gun...

I couldn't agree more Don. I shot a doe with the Taylor using a 325gr Hawk soft point, it hit her in the chest and exited her back ham. One very dead deer no meat damage to speak of.

I used the Taylor in Africa for everything from Warthogs to Buffalo

Rick, my gun show table mate has a very nice refinished Model 73 in 32-20. It is a blued frame gun that looks original from just a few feet away. Nice wood and bore. Where are you located? I believe the gun is priced to sell.
