EdM - that is quite a nice Buffalo!
Is there a hunt report somewhere that a guy can get details?
Regarding John's Rigby DR, he says he goes into the rifle and how he came to own it, in his book. Looking forward to the read.

I'm sure his well-used and somewhat famous double rifle has something to do with it! It's a beautiful old gun, and John has been a more than worthy owner.
No doubt! I am looking forward to many things regarding this trip, and putting my hands on that rifle is one of them (assuming he will let me touch it!!).

Thanks for the update, Tarbe. Yeah, John's been working with Rigby for a couple of years now. As you probably know, he has a very nice 1920's vintage 470. You will have a great time I knew I had the picture somewhere.. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/XygwVmW.jpg)

That photo looks familiar...
There are a lot of folks excited about this book, rightly so.

Good Morning Jorge, I took that photo on my brother in law's hunt with John in 2013. John, my brother in law and I all traded photos before we parted ways. John must have cleaned/greened the photo up a bit because the one you posted is brighter than the one I posted on my report on April 29, 2013. In that thread, someone asked me to tell them about the double rifle and before I could come up with an elaborate story, you ID'd it as being John's. I had so much fun tagging along, that I had to go hunt my own buffalo with John last year. Have a good weekend.

Howdy. That's a GREAT buffalo, congratulations AND a great photo. Hope he puts it in his book.
