Welcome from another Texan. Lots of us on here. You should consider Quagga Safaris for your first hunt. I've hunted with Eric and his team 4 times. Great lodge and food, great game and first class service.

Hold out for a 416Rigby and if you want a 404J wait to get one may by Jeffrey.

My 416 Rigby Big Game loves Federal TBBC way more than Hornady or any other ammo. The differene in accuracy is quite significant.

Congratulations on your buffalo. Nice bull! And Yes. It is addictive.

No personal experience, but was watching American Sniper on cable recently and was curious about Chris Kyle's rifle of choice and it was a military version of the Remington M700.
