Yep, I agree.
Old battle scarred warriors.
Too cool.
Like Capstick or maybe Ruark said, looking at you like you owe him money...

Either my .460 Wby or .450 Howell.
And for the second rifle,either a .375 H&H or the .375 RUM.

Nice, congrats to your buddy, bet the old Rigby didn't leave him lacking, what bullet? 400 gr. TSX, solids in the mag. One shot at 25 yds in heavy brush, hit just behind diaphragm, left side, 50+ inches of penetration to off side shoulder. Recovered bullet, .82 cal. expansion, all petals intact for photo finish (bullet at least). Hornady brass, Fed 210 Match primer, 100 gr. H-4831sc. Buff down in 30 yds. PH tracked him too soon, he got back up, he and PH entered heavy brush, their .416's at the ready, only to find a dead buff. Final comment, "that buff was one tough SOB". "Never asked to slow up, never asked tracker to carry Rigby, a true hunt, not an old man hunt." "Rode 70-80 miles on bad trails, 5-8 miles stalking, up at 4:30, down at 8:30". I'm not that tough. Although just a few years my junior, he's fit. Thus, his comment, "Only hard men stalk the veldt". Can't argue with that. DF

I realized I hijacked the .505 Gibbs post, am moving thread to the Africa Forum.
Sorry about that.
