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.

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.
 
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:eek: but then again; my kudu rifle seemed to be missing a second barrel too. Look like you had a great safari.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
