slender oar
We have the 7mm Empress in game but it kinda bugs me there's no comparable weapon for the really big stuff. So here's my pitch. . . . .
The Knight .375 Express
Inspired by the Empress, this rifle embodies the principle of One shot is all it takes. Meant for large and dangerous game such as brown bear, lion, bison, and buffalo this rifle is designed with reliability in mind. With a long and storied history, including being a favorite of such famous hunters as Frederick Selous. The ammunition features a prominent flange to aid in extraction of spent cases and fast reloading while the falling block action is designed to function regardless of the environment. The Soft Point ammunition is ideal for thin skinned dangerous game such as lion and brown bear, while the Solid Round Nose bullets are ideal for piercing thick hides and bone or in the case of Cape Buffalo the overlapping ribs that make it a walking tank.
Lighter than the .470 King DB (not by much) with one less shot but a fast reload to make up for it.
Second only to the .470 in penetration, but the ammunition is only a bit cheaper
Only covers the classes 7-9 (8-9 depending on reclassing of brown/grizzly bears)
Restricted to a single scope, with low magnification such as 1-4 (High recoil weapons like a .375 require strong scopes and are usually meant for shots inside a hundred or so meters/ scope could be shared with the .470 Now i think about it)
Would prefer to see this come with a price of 80,000 credits placing it between the .300 Canning and the .470 King DB
Would fit well on a map like #1195097534239088720 OR #1199566668473581578
