Answer 1

The gun was a prop based on a savage 99 with a box magazine bolted on. The ejected empties were 470 Nitro Express, or something very similar. You can buy the ammo at MidwayUSA for $10-$18/round :D

By the way, the 577 T-Rex rifle used in the YouTube films is a joke, it was made by the people at accuratereloading to generate maximum recoil so that they could get some fun by watching people shoot it. It has a secondary purpose of being a last resort stopping rifle, but if you read everything about it on their web site it is clear they intend it as a joke.

Answer 2

The only time I have hunted with a scope was when I was under the assumption that my gun wasn't allowed for hunting coyotes, so I was using my dad's. Since then I have learned to the contrary so I am using my unscoped rifle. I prefer the open sites because it makes hunting more of a challenge, you can't take a 200 yard shot on a deer as easily with open as you can with scopes. I also like them because two pieces of steel won't fog up or be knocked off centre by a slight bump.

Answer 3

Winchester 1887 shotgun with a lot of movie prop bits added on.

You'd not believe how many times I've been asked that question. lol
