This. There's a reason why there's 20x the .338's out there in the field being used by knowledgeable hunters for every one Whelen you'll see. The .338 will do everything you need it to other than DG. In a properly stocked rifle that fits you well the recoil will be easy to get used to with some...

Amen brother. I shot my very first buffalo way back in the mid 90's with a .338 While I'd admit it's far from my first choice for hunting buffalo with the correct bullet and precise placement it will do the job. I can't remember a time over the past 30+ years without a .338 in my safe. My...

For a couple of seasons I hunted with a beautiful V.C Roundbody double in .500 N.E. A stunning rifle that shot incredibly well and I managed to pull off some spectacular shots with it. It really left an impression on buffalo. Unfortunately for me I just couldn't come to terms with carrying that...

Great hunt report Mark. Good to see you enjoying yourself outdoors. Well done on the buffalo.

Absolutely stunning rifle, congrats on your acquisition. I certainly admire your dedication to old school quality and simplicity. No good for me, I'd want to drill and tap it. Can't see past the light on a dark night. Congrats again and thanks for sharing with us. It's refreshing knowing...

Very nice buck Sarg, well done. Your eyes can't be too bad if you're still getting it done with open sights.

And a metric ton of field testing.

Nice Scrub bull Fordy (y)

To my knowledge, there's only one full sized .500 in Australia and that's in my grubby little hands. .450gn brass CEB #13 @ a mild 2450fps.

Thumping Red Skins Sarg. They're tough animals. When we removed the head off this one we found a spinal bone lodged in its throat. The throat was mostly blocked and the bone had been there for some time. I have no idea how it survived with that bone lodged in there.

Sorry, my bad. You know, you shot so many animals you can't blame me for gettin confused.

:E Lol::E Rofl: Let me know if you can't find them and I'll send them over.
