Buffalo Hunting Safari in Namibia with Verney-Carron Double Rifles

Very cool video, and thanks Jerome for taking the time to answer questions and take my measurements at DSC 2019! It's not real clear, but I think I can make out two 7's on the case after ejection, is the double that took the buff a .577?

That correct yes, thats my 577. I was the lucky hunter!
 
That was one incredible first shot.
Well done and congratulations on a beauty of a buffalo.
 
Heck of a kick on that rifle I see.
 
That Imperial is a beautiful rifle
 
Very nice! But ouch! That .577 must hurt on both ends!
 
This video clip has it all.

Buffalo, V.C doubles, Jerome and Karl Stumpfe and the .577 N.E in what I assume is the Caprivi Strip, it doesn't get any better than that

This is complete, nothing more to add.

Great video, excellent thanks for posting.

My hat off to you for handling a .577 in that manner.

Way more gun that I am up to.
My own trial with a .577 was quite a "wake-up" call !, and I am far from recoil sensitive.
 
Thanks for sharing!

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
