I'm going to plead the 5th for this thread. :A Whistle:

I shot my very first Asiatic buff, here in Aus, back in the mid 90's with a .338 without any issues. Not something I'd want to do now as I've had a considerable amount of exposure to hunting them now but I can't deny that it worked.

R.I.P Bruce. Condolences to family and friends.

Mark, you should be commended for your efforts and time in organising the bringing together like minded hunters, and shooters. Well done. Apologies for my absence. Great to see it was well supported and enjoyed by all. Again well done. Well done to all who attended.

I bet the .470 knocked the attitude out of that Wilderbeast ! Great pic.

Nice and trim Mark, coming along nicely. That thing will point like a GSP (y)

Very nice rifle there Killo, cept they seemed to put the bolt on the wrong side ? :unsure:

I am privileged to have had this wonderful custom M70 put together for me by our own fellow forum member @michael458. Chambered in .500 MDM Ultra mag, a cartridge of his own design, it's a proper buffalo rifle and cartridge combination. Housed in an extremely portable platform with a 20" barrel...

Unassuming, humble and generous with his time and knowledge. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends. R.I.P.

Not whom I was thinking about. The fella I was referring to actually went about constructing portable meat processing plants that could be moved around accorded to what area needed to be shot. I think it was around the 70's or 80's. I'll keep thinking, it'll come to me eventually.

Well it certainly didn't take MS long to see the light, the .458 was only legitimised in 1956. They were straight on it. Pity they don't still make them. I remember reading of one of the more well known Elephant cullers in Zimbabwe relying on the MS as his primary culling tool. I just can't for...

Sheeet. $7.60 for a 20 box of .458's ! I'd be whacking, packing and stacking buffalo three feet deep with ammo at that cost o_O Around the same cost per round now. What's the date on that catalogue H.H ?

A real diamond in the rough. Suits you to a tee Russ :cool:. I'm glad you persisted with it and didn't give up. No, it's no Westley Richards or bespoke custom rifle but it's definitely enough and more than functional and now you have a personal connection with it. It will, without any doubt...

Congrats on an awesome Pronghorn. Well done, he looks more than just mature and an exceptional example. My perspective on hunting for inches. When I was outfitting, here in Australia, I would specifically deter those wanting to book a hunt with a "guarantee" for a 100" bull. Not because I...
