Buffhunter-------If long range hunting is within your parameters, more power to you. Fifty years ago I also was pretty fair with a Springfield. You must understand where many of the posters on this forum are coming from....Many of us were taught from a very early age that it was an honor to be able to hunt. It was drummed into us that the animals we hunted deserved a humane and relatively painless termination and should not be made to suffer. Many of us passed this on to our children and they will pass it to theirs. I know that as soon as you made that first shot on the buffalo that you probably felt badly about it, for I would suspect that the persons who raised you, also injected the same things most of us were taught..good luck to you....
