Gun would need to go to an FFL to be legal. Pretty gun, but money is too tight to buy guns this year.

Always loved the look of brass solids in polished brass cases!

Wow, that is one heck of a write up! For better or worse it will be a hunt you will never forget. Personally... I'd be willing to try it.

As the others have said, a good modern expanding bullet ideal for buffalo.

I don't think I've heard of BSA, thank you for sharing.

The 416 RM is a more flexible cartridge. It will make for easier shots at longer ranges and greater tissue damage all while having less recoil. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with the 458 WM. As @Hunter-Habib said, load it with a good 450gr bullet at around 2200fps and it should be...

It's been ages since I've looked, but if memory serves, they are similar in price to Heym. I recommend sending them an email asking about getting one in Canada.

If you have a 458, I see no reason to get a 470. It just isn't much of a step up. A proper step up is 50 caliber rifle. A 500 NE, 505 Gibbs, or 500 Jeffery will do a fine job of filling that roll. Deciding on a bolt action or a double will depend on preference. 20k CA will get you a nice custom...

I live in WA, a walk down the wrong street in Seattle will get you a free prostate exam.

That room is bigger, safer, and cheaper than many apartments in the cities here. It also come with free medical and dental.

Have you tried emailing Swift?

Here is my old girl, a W.J. Jeffery 8-bore 3.25" double rifle. She is either 127 or 128 years old (the data below is not exactly correct). I'm awful at taking pictures, so I'll include pictures taken by someone else as well.

Hope he heals quickly with no long term issues! Those trackers are absolute heroes and went way above and beyond what is expected of a tracker!

So if a top end gun maker told you they would make you a single free DG rifle (bolt or double) in any cartridge... You would have it made in 458 WM?
