Tennessee Tiger!

The good Revered Caldwell took a load of tigers in China with a .22 Savage Hi-power but I'm with you Guy, in the words of Elmer Keith "Bring Enough Gun"!

Ya, I had a Savage 99, 22 Hi-Power... Also a 375, I kept the bigger rifle. :grin:

It was crazy to see the old photos, and read some old accounts of the 22 Hi Power being used on tiger and other big/dangerous game. Fun cartridge, but... I'm thinking deer is about the biggest species I'd willingly use it to hunt.

LOL! I'd have 375'd that poor ol' stuffed tiger! :mrgreen:

No doubt it would have ensured that the tiger was well and truly dead (and ready for some new stuffing).
