We have a running target rig at our club too. Fellow PGCA and Gun Club member set it up at the Vintage & I was the helper, we ran 30 or 40 relays. One that impressed me most was an older fellow on the Drilling target, added two thrown clays to the course of fire. 7x57 and 16 G.
Three rigs, one crosser left and right, one incoming & outgoing. One turning target stationary, exposed for varying times depending on how it’s set. Shoot them a fair amount, I do best with a Lever Action, in fact nearly everybody shoots it faster and better with a lever gun, but can get off a pretty good 2nd Shot with my O3 Springfield Arsenal Sportier, Lyman 48 Peep, run without the aperture insert. It’s a very smooth bolt action.
Club member goes to Alaska on a Bear Hunts/Fishing trips. Used a 375 H&H Mauser, got so he could hit the charger pretty well. For fishing We set it up again, he cast a fly rod, dropped it drew a 44 Magnum pistol and went after the charger. What I saw I am not counting on a holstered pistol against Bears
I am after a good Single Shot game gun, have 3 all target rifles, not suitable for running targets. Don’t find an original I like will get a Ruger # 1 in 405 first choice 400/450 2nd
