Big Bores for small things

[Green Chile]

That's a good looking Mauser. Who built it?

This is the M98 built at the Mauser factory in Germany.

I have shot buffalo, lioness, wildebeest, warthogs, eland & gemsbok with the 416 Rigby. It works great within its range limits.

Feral hog at 8' with my 500 Jeffery, got a cow elk at 225 yards. This year elk and jackrabbits on the run!

I took all of these animals (except the buffalo) with my 416 Rigby. I simply enjoy shooting bigger bore rifles and find that this works very well out to 200 yards. However I did put a Leupold 3x9 (quick release bases) on it for the small stuff and longer shots too.

l got a small Fallow with my 425 Express just the other day...
The 360gn Atomic29 copper hollowpoint at 2500fps did the trick...

Is there a hunt report for this hunt?

 

[hoytcanon]

Apparently, some people are a little confused as to what constitutes "small things..."

I took my W C Scott hammer gun out for a stroll this AM. Thinking it was too easy for rabbits. I usually hunt rabbits with a traditional bow or .22

I jumped 5 rabbits and never got the right hammer back in time for a shot Too slow. They were flushing quickly and at distance.

I started riding the hammer and got two shots off. But still No rabbits were harmed.
I’m going back to the stickbow

 

[Northern Shooter]

I've taken my 375HH, 416 Rigby and 458WM all moose/deer/black bear hunting.

I plan on doing the same this year but with my 470NE double

The only thing I've taken with a 500 J is local Black Bear?
Coworkers want to see it against crop damage deer .. maybe.
