I have never hunted a Cape buffalo and I don't see a Cape Buffalo hunt in my future. I retire in three years and if post retirement employment is adequate maybe. The desire is there.

I come to boards like this for information. There are a great number of very knowledgable and experienced people here.

I also know that with this experience and knowledge comes differing and varying opinions. To gain knowledge I have to sort the facts from opinions for the time when I get my chance to gain experience.

All too often these discussions about the 45/70 Cape Buffalo gun break down to a big fat argument with nothing substantive stated by either side to support their claim.

I want to know why you say it’s a stunt or it’s not a enough gun. I'm not arguing your wrong, I just want to know why you have came to the conclusion you have. Otherwise your discussion is little more than a Ford/Chevy argument.

Share your knowledge, that's all I am asking.

For what it’s worth, you are going to have to do some serious talking to convince me that the 45/70 is a Cape Buffalo Gun, even with jacketed bullets at 2000fps in Ruger 1.
