Some marvel at the terminal energy of the .338 Lapua. Others do the same for the .50 BMG. Personally it's the versatility and power of the 12-gauge shotgun that most intrigues me. Its close-range energy is just devastating—the equivalent of about four simultaneous rounds of .45 ACP.

It's never a bad idea to carry a backup gun when you are hunting, and the Rhino 60DS fills the role admirably—with a .357 Mag. punch.
