Is your post refering to ME???

I have had my scoped 9,3x74R Chapuis for several years.
I have hunted it in Texas, Montana, Idaho, Canada, and 3 Safaris to Zimbabwe totaling @85 days of African hunting.

I have taken the following game [that I can remember off of the top of my head].
Skunks, armidillo, racoon, beaver, bobcat, 4 coyotes, several turkeys, several whitetail deer, several wild pigs, 2 black bear, 12 impala, 6 or so Baboons, kudu, waterbuck, klipspringer, caracel, civet cat, sidestriped jackel, at least a dozen zebra, 3 warthogs, cape buffalo bull, my biggest, and a cow elephant.

I did shoot a coyote at a lazered [after the shot] 271 yards. I hit him with both bbls. This shot was witnessed [and filmed] by several people who post here.

I hit a kudu at a little over 300 yards 3 out of 4 shots, also on film several people who post here have seen the video, you can hear the PH say "That is over 300 yards EH" while I am shooting.

I shot a cow elephant at 5 yards, also on film[again several people have seen the video], in Zimbabwe.

All the shots were taken in complete confidence because I had PRACTICED with my 9,3 at 300 yards before the mentioned shots.

All of the "questionable" shots were not only taken in front of witnessess, they were all filmed.

All I can say is "I was there, and I did it", other people saw it, and it is on film.

To make those kind of long shots it takes two things, a guy that can do it, and a gun that is properly sighted in.

To shoot an elephant at 5 yards with a 9,3 it takes a guy with the BALLS and CONFIDENCE to get close.

IF YOU DO NOT QUALIFY, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT.

BUT DO NOT CRITICISE THOSE THAT CAN... AND DO.
