After 1972 , l have shot a dozen man eating leopards irregularly , which have caused chaos in the villages around the Sundarban mangrove forests of Bangladesh . For this , l have always used a most extraordinary rifle purchased from the American state of Tennessee . It is a custom made .338 Winchester Magnum rifle built on an FN Mauser action with a straight stock , and a Douglas barrel ( This rifle itself will be the subject of a future article , with a freshly taken photograph or two ) . This rifle is perfection in my eyes . It is accurate , well balanced and most importantly , the .338 Winchester Magnum cartridge packs enough punch to safely take out any leopard any day .
Here , is the beautiful weapon which has served me so well over the years for all of my hunting.
