Has anyone thought of how much better a lever-action would be compared to a bolt-action for a safari if they had about the same power. I've wondered myself why there hasn't been perhaps a .45 caliber lever-action that propelled a 400 grain projectile at 2300-400 fps. It would be handier than a bolt-action, though unless the rifle's weight was increased, recoil would be excessive. The .450 Alaskan was close, but the rifle weighed to little.
