Ho Hum.

Is there anything new here?

The original post contains all the usual .45/70 "arguments" found in every other .45/70 for dangerous game thread on the net.

If you want to do it, just do it!

***

As for a .45/70 being able to kill a cape buffalo, I KNOW it can do it, as a fellow client used his "Guide Gun" in .45/70 in 2002 in the Matetsi when I was there.

I think he was on his seventh (or something) African safari and wanted to try it out. Most of the hunters actually using .45/70s on safari are not newchums but have been many times. I also don't see why a factory bolt action in a .458 Win Mag or .416 Rem Mag is beyond a guy's budget but a Marlin is ???

As for Lupo's stories, it's funny how some writers always get charged by cape buffalo but this time he stopped it with his "hammerhead".

Ho hum. Just do it!

***

For sizes and weights of North American bison, European bison, water buffalo, gaur and cape buffalo, it might be a good idea to consult reference sources.

***

Some members have asked for a lever action forum for these threads and I think that might not be a bad idea.
