Buffalo caliber advice

[375 Ruger Fan]

You bunch of pansies

Mas Oyama is good, but he's no Chuck Norris.

That video WAS impressive, but I would have liked to see him doing that with a Cape Buffalo or maybe an American Bison or Australian Buffalo. He didn’t even need a crossbow! Another question since this thread has gotten completely out of control, but very FUN. Could/ would an American (or other country) bull rider attempt to ride a DE HORNED Cape Buffalo?

How about a sling and 5 smooth stones?!?!

You would need a stone with a good sectional density. Granite maybe?

Come on, Pete, you know that real men hunt buffalo with a knife

what kind of scope should i put on my knife for the 300yd throw though? Its a bit of a dilemma, i dont want a red dot though, that fancy technology could fail in the heat of the moment...
I'm thinking min 3-20 zoom, possibly 50mm obj?
Got to have the 50mm for low light conditions...

Consider using recently erupted volcano lava, the hot core is sure to replicate the venerable DGX rounds...

Did I miss something? I thought Pete G was looking for a reason to purchase another rifle. I.E. something in between the calibers he mentioned. If I'm wrong please forgive me. But in the meantime I'm going to suggest a 404 Jeffery. Reason: just as effective but with a little less thump on the shoulder.

No, this was meant as a humerous thread taking from the nonsense video that was posted of the buff shot with a crossbow and the follow up with the suppressed 30-06.
Now, whats your favourite? Slingshot, Scoped hunting knife or 30-06 with chewing gum bullets?

Miss something....... Yup you were aiming in the opposite direction.....

Scope is for sissies, Pete, this has to be close and personal.

Just the cold steel as we do in the bullfights

Riding would be the easy part...getting off is another story.
Might I suggest having PH's for rodeo clowns!

Pete G was actually looking for a .465 h and h, but Pheroze couldn’t find him a single cartridge in that caliber, let alone a rifle! Ha! Ha! Ha!
