If you get into a wild area, where a buffalo had bad experiences with hunters or poachers, being shot at, wounded, or having a festering wound on a leg, from a poacher's wire snare, I am pretty certain he will be more aggressive than normal.

Cvs have issued the statement on their official web pages.

Free lancer PH, with experience may provide an honest answer to this question.

To me, this sounds dangerous. It reminds me of 458 Win Mag ammo fiasco in its early years. What is the level of actual reduction of velocity with the latest ammunition, in 375 HH with Federal or other factories?

This is the key point. My country has run several confiscations of guns, and scrapping by melting. Even some legal guns without CIC proof have been confiscated and scrapped. Post-war, guns stockpiles are either sold for export or scrapped. This left no spare parts in circulation We must have...

Not on my planet. m98 action is rare, and m98 magnum length action is unicorn! BTW, I have my buffalo gun on ZKK action, so I am not worried. But m98 is becoming scarce. And skilled gunsmiths are not in big numbers either, to build a rifle from an action.

We all (I mean most of us) count our buffalo in single-digit numbers. I personally hunted only one. So, our experience is limited. I wish I had hunted buffalo in all countries, multiple times, but financially and time-wise for me, this is impossible. So, my advice, will be limited. I hunted in...

But what else to use in a World that is rapidly losing availability of M98 actions? Let's say M98 is not available; what other action would be recommended?

Pardon my possible misunderstanding, but: If leopard is collected, then full inclusive price is 16k? Or if leopard is collected, then price is 16K plus 7.5k (trophy Fee), in that case: 23.5K total cost?

No dilemma. All the guns I have, I shoot. I am not a collector, I am not a museum owner or custodian. I do not collect guns for investment. I appreciate good firearms and those with history, but if I had them, I would shoot them. For me, an easy choice.

Our colleague mr @Red Leg has put it perfectly! I can say nothing more. I am about to finish my trophy collecting, exactly for the reasons described. I can see myself collecting very few more trophies, and that is about it. At the same time, this opens an entirely new set of possibilities in...

I once used a remington 700 in 30-06 for plains game hunting (camp gun). All worked well. This is all I can say. But I think this video may interest you, and is promising:

Great offer, for a fantastic experience!

This is exactly what my taxidermists told me. And this is what I did with my eland cape. The skin is tanned (after dip and pack shipping) and is now stored in the freezer.

Great article, surprisingly published in UK media! Thanks for posting it!
