To me and many others, the .41 is no longer the “Middle Magnum” or “Forgotten .41”. It is and has always been the All-Purpose .41. 

My recent trip to Sweden for hunting allowed my wife and I to use a lot of outdoor gear and clothing.

The adjustable component trigger assembly JP pioneered years ago was the benchmark of aftermarket triggers available for the MSR.

I never realized how important top-quality leather gear or holsters were until I needed to wear a gun around all day long, riding horses, doing chores, hunting wearing a pack, sitting in a vehicle, crawling through brush, and competing while performing rough and tumble activities.

Assembled and complete, I now have a rifle that never was but should have been.

Several years back, I took a small ring Mauser 96, in 6.5×5,5 and turned it into a scout-type rifle. It later became a more traditional rifle with normal scope mounts and a turned-down bolt. In that configuration it became my loaner, backup, knock-around rifle for friends and relatives that asked to borrow a rifle for impromptu hunts. 

The rounds of the HammerDown line are what would today be called short-range rounds.

In my opinion, a better suited option when truly Big Bore stuff needs to happen is the 50 Alaskan.
