One of my friends uses it extensively. And has taken many Buffalo with it. Bullet placement and penetration are far more important than "knock down". So yes, i think it's well up to the job. Only problem with them is that they don't have good resale value. I have also found felt recoil to be...

338 generally exceeds energy of 375 at 100m+ and it is good for anything with appropriate bullets

Ammo can be hard to vote by at times. And pricey!

I would say that it depends on your budget and what you want to do with the rifle. Quality is not up there with CZ, Winchester or Ruger and , as mentioned by others, the Zastava has a very skinny barrel, so it kicks like a mule with full power 500gr loads. You can address the weight/recoil issue...

Can't beat a brno/cz

No. 450 and 470 both used 480gr as standard

Most premium controlled exosnsion will do the job; however some ( eg Barnes tsx ) are inclined to overpenetrare. Swift Aframes, Rhino bonded shank and spoor are all great

Most people today are using expanding monometals , hybrids or other very strong, bonded bullets - like Swift Aframe ( which I personally love) . No need for a client hunter to carry solids

I use those old school bullets in my .458 when backing up. They are good in that cal

400gr A frame does a great job in the WM, but 450 is also good; 450gr is preferred in the Lott.

Very dangerous animals. Not at all the gentle giants some people imagine

Cow elephants are dangerous because they will attack "just because". Fortunately you normally hear and see them coming.With buffalo it depends on terrain. In our veld it can happen at vert close quarters, so it can literally be a matter of either the quick or the dead - but usually only if you...

a 375 should not be a problem unless its very light (Zastava and Sako tend to be too light) ; however it will be if you are not accustomed to recoil. I would suggest shooting it standing up at first in order to get used to it. Next (and after a break), back to the bench. Make sure you are...

450gr bullets work very well in the 458WM . In fact a 450gr monometal is currently the "go to"

This is nonsense
