Hi John. Welcome aboard.
I have a Marlin GBL. I have killed 2 large adult cow buffalo (financial considerations). 2 shots, 2 dead buffalo, both in about ten seconds. Handloads using 325 grain Cutting Edge brass solids. A .45-70 works just fine for buffalo, as long as one understands its limitations and works within that. They will not be my last two, and there is a bull in my future with that rifle.

Greetings capebuffalodream (John),
Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
The Ruger #1 is technically a lever action, albeit holding only a single round.
Nonetheless, it is a lever action for sure.
Get one in any of the following calibers: .375 H&H or .450/400 or .458 Winchester (or Lott) and hunt that buffalo.
On this topic, I have sometimes wondered why Ruger never chambered that excellent rifle in .470 Nitro.
Seems like that would have been a natural choice for their #1 Tropical Rifle.
I had one in .375 H&H and shot my first ever caribou with it, about 35 years ago.
The Ruger No 1 is in my opinion, an under priced treasure.
Anyway, I will stop jabbering here.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog (Paul).

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
