I handled on last week. You would have to spend a lot of money on a custom rifle for that fit and finish and smooth action.
@Altitude sickness everyone needs one of this caliber![]()
Make sure it's legal. many places require .375 caliber or larger. That said, a 250 TSX should be enough for buffalo but is a little on the light side. I took a 1 shot kill on a buffalo with a 270 .375 but was a brass bullet. I'm sure as long as the shot is good you'll have no issues.I shoot 250 grain barnes tsx at 2700 fps in mine.
Less than 1 inch at 100 yards. Plan on shooting an Eland and a Sable with this load.
Considering it for Cape Buffalo on a one gun safari.
Correct.Make sure it's legal. many places require .375 caliber or larger. That said, a 250 TSX should be enough for buffalo but is a little on the light side. I took a 1 shot kill on a buffalo with a 270 .375 but was a brass bullet. I'm sure as long as the shot is good you'll have no issues.
I assume this rifle is a push feed, correct?
I love mine as well. I know they made a .458 win mag at one point, but I wish they’d made one in .458 Lott.I have two 9.3x62s. A CZ550 Classic and a Steyr.
The Steyr is more accurate, puts every bullet weight into the same point of impact and has really good fiber optic iron sights.
It is super smooth, reliable and fast to operate.
I have the same Steyr series rifle in a lot of different cartridges.
I have no qualms about using it for Buffalo.
And yes, it is legal where I’m going, I already checked.
