J23 - This would be considered a buffalo/plains game hunt. Hunt buff first and plains game as time allows or what the bush offers up. Capes and headgear comes home, with extra fees for dip and pack and shipping and custom broker fees. Buff was at 35yds so yes irons are totally doable for buffalo. My shot was tight and scope really helped to identify an open lane. Lots of people go with iron sights. No personal experience with 45/70 or 348 Win, so will leave for someone else to opine.
Hatari - Thanks for the kind words. Previously saw you have hunted in Zambia, I think with Jan duPlessis? That is on my wish list.
