The 16-year-old son of a friend and client wanted to hunt a hippo, but he had no idea about the animal's anatomy and didn't know where to shoot! As a guide, I bought a life-size hippo target, placed it at 100 meters, explained the anatomy, and showed him where the brain was. He confidently shot the .416 Rigby at the paper target and did beautifully! When it came time for the actual hunt, he simply did the same… and everything went very well! That's how a good hunting guide should be!

Well done. Where was the North Fork CPS found?
 
Congratulations to the hunter and good on you for taking the time to properly train and rehearse him.
 
It went through the skull on both sides, the base of the brain, and stopped less than an inch from the skin on the opposite side. It followed a perfectly straight line. The hippo never knew what happened!
Good training pays off. More people should try it.
 
Good shot placement. I kind of expect a 416 solid to exit on that shot? I know it is a sort of hybrid soft /solid but I would be a little disappointed with the penetration. It is perfect for the hippo but I I would be worried on a big elephant bull especially frontal brain.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
