I'm curious if anyone else here hunts with their single shots? Maybe with the .45-70's, -90's or other hyphenated cartridges for big game?
As for me, I'm down at the other end of the scale, as I use my .17 Low Wall for small game -- fox and bobcat, mostly.
Here's my Miroku Low Wall in 17HMR out in the woods early last fall:

That is made in Australia (sold on ebay) and sticks securely with a high-strength magnet, although I do put a small piece of electrical tape on the magnet's face to prevent any scratches. It works really well, and keeps some extra rounds very handy:

I've been hunting with a shotgun, dressed in snow camo since Jan 1st... But it's been so warm lately, while we do still have some snow on the ground, I'll wear snow camo pants and use brown camp upper -- and take the Low Wall. It's now covered with that breathable non-stick camo wrap (sticks to itself only, but I do use black electrical tape to secure it in several places) they sell at Cabela's and other retailers.
