I have a Savage 30-32 lever action that has a powerful punch. It is
an antique 1893 model that belongs in a museum! My step dad's uncle used
it on his lobster boat in Maine to stop seals from raiding his traps. It has several
dots on the stock for the seals he shot.
Cannot get away with that these days!
