    Thoughts on Cape Buffalo under 40"

    You will see that the most of reputable forum members here, prefer "mature buffalo", with hardened bosses.

    Mulling over a bolt gun or a double rifle

    As mentioned, I am clumsy in that respect. If not really clumsy, than I did not make it to my satisfaction. Once facing a DG, I took something I am familiar with

    .416 in R8 barrel

    @Miletic Early at this stage, if you are going for 416 barrel, I can advise that you start sourcing 416, 400 grains swift a frame bullets. Asap! They are not widely available. Buy now, use them when you get the barrel.

    Looking for a nice place to hunt plains game in SA

    @B Frederick I confirm to what @375Fox said. Kudu, oryx, hartmann zebra, visit Etosha park, Namibia. Been there, done exactly that. (in separate trips) No high fences I had for those animals.
