For the Buffalo I used Norma 500 SN. ( all I could get hold of but did the job real well) one shot dropped him one in the heart point blank to finish the old chap.

Beauty!
There's just something about stalking DG with a well balanced double.
(Your buffalo is also quite impressive).
Congrats., well done.

Reckless , how far was the shot on the buff ?

 

[Reckless]

Reckless , how far was the shot on the buff ?

I stepped it out after the kill and it was a crazy 22 meters. He was feeding away from me and I was slightly elevated when we checked the shot shocked the spinal chord and went down into lung and caught a piece of heart. Still took one to finish him but he wasn't a danger.

 

[Nyati]

Congrats, nice buff, and yes, we are always interested in the story behind the shooting !

Nice Buff! I hope I get one as nice next year. Your kudu is also a great trophy but did notice the rifle you are holding has a funny bolt thingy and is missing a barrel but then again; my kudu rifle seemed to be missing a second barrel too. Look like you had a great safari.
