    Mature water buffalo bulls can weigh 1000kg or over 2000 pounds. Much has been written about suitable calibers for these large & VERY tough ANIMALS. We have been using a 375 Ruger and it performs as one would expect, The moral of the story is - use as MUCH gun as you are comfortable with, use premium bullets for the big stuff and ensure accurate shot placement.

     

    Guns for the Hunt

    We have a variety of hunting rifles that you can use while hunting with us or you may choose to bring your own, but it is important to realize that wounding an animal is what can make buffalo hunting dangerous, so you need as rifle and a caliber that will do the job effectivly. At the top of the hill we have .458 win mag as our premier buffalo Stoppers along side with a .375 ruger, we also have .300wsm as a pig, donkey stopper, remember shot placement is also critical and as Geoff Corry Say's:

    "A well placed shot from any caliber is just as effective as a miss placed shot from a cannon"

    Takes a charging buffalo with a .500 Jeffery. This powerful gun has enough stopping power to bring the toughest bovines down with one shot.
