Managed to bag some goats with my Chapuis UGEX 9.3x74r on a trip to out back NSW a few months back.

Longest shot was circa 120 yards, the trijicon RMR does help my old eyes !

Son and I had a great trip

My Merkel .400 Jeffery / .450/400 3", formerly owned and used to great effect by @264.

In my hands it has taken 3 buffalo and assisted on another.

As a side note, 2026 marks a 130 years of the .450/400 3" getting it done.

Style meeting substance. Performing with panache. :cool:
