I am going to be hunting about two hours drive outside Darwin. I hunted Buff there almost 30 years ago when they ran wild and in good numbers right across the top end.
It,s a Chapuis in 9.3 x74 and the skin is a blue Wildebeest I shot last April. I will try and post some pics of the action as there is some nice work going on there. Thanks.
That's what sold me on this rifle. It also comes up like a fine English shotgun. The regulation is both barrels about and inch high at 50 yards and dead centre.
Louis, it,s another 9.3 x 74. I like this calibre not so harsh as the .470 NE
I hope to give it a run against an Aaussie water Buffalo early next year.
your so right mate. I couldn't get close enough with the big one so had to borrow a peashooter for the Kudu.
I really was a great safari, the trouble I have to think what to do to better it next time....
I stepped it out after the kill and it was a crazy 22 meters. He was feeding away from me and I was slightly elevated when we checked the shot shocked the spinal chord and went down into lung and caught a piece of heart. Still took one to finish him but he wasn't a danger.
Just returned from South Africa. On top of this buff I got a Blue Wildebeest, an Impala, Wart hog and an awesome Kudu. Took the Buffalo with a Chapuis .470 NE. Hunted around the Gravalot and Klaseirie
For the Buffalo I used Norma 500 SN. ( all I could get hold of but did the job real well) one shot dropped him one in the heart point blank to finish the old chap.
