I think the only time I'd have the courage to pull the trigger on that rifle was if that buffalo were charging!

Love those pics. One of my dreams is to shoot a big buff at 20 yards or less with a double barrell rifle.

You must have killed some big ones if 46" is descent.

It will get for heart pumping thats for sure. The first one I killed was at 18 yards with my 470. That wide bull charged us and died at 20 yards.

It's currently getting restocked with a proper piece of wood, but a 375 H&H. Got a 416 Rem too, but no pics.



If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today...

I would have to use my 9.3x62 or my 338 win mag. Biggest rifles that I currently own, but may end up with a 375 H&H soon.

Minimum cal in Zim is 375 so you would be out of luck on the 338 if hunting in that part of the world. Shot my cape buf with a 458 LOTT, love the big calibers. Shot the PH's 470 Nitro Kreighoff and it didn't kick as bad as the 458. Next trip will be with the 375 H&H, single gun hunt.
