Re: Lion attack video. Reflex shooting a lion! One wonders what the learning curve is like on that skill.
I had two equipment related questions. Firstly, I did not see any telescopic sights on any of the rifles (may have missed same). Would like to know what sort of iron sights were employed.
Next, the extraction problems. That rifle appeared to have an excellent extractor. What make was that rifle. Was the malfunction caused by handloads or a defective factory cartridge?

He must practise before hand to hit a 4" clay target off hand at 50 yards with every shot he takes.
After the scope had been checked for zero he must demonstrate three shots off-hand at 50 yards into 4" until he can do it.
