Detailed explanation-1: -For buffalo, the typical 1-4X, 1.75-5X, or 1-6X straight-objective “dangerous game” scope is perfectly adequate. On the buffalo I started this article with, I used buddy John Stucker’s Sabatti . 450/. 400-3” double with Leupold VXR 1-4X scope.
Detailed explanation-2: -The buffalo hunt was the means by which Plains and Métis peoples acquired their primary food resource until the collapse of the buffalo, or bison, herds in the 1880s. The hunt was crucial to sustaining the fur trade activity that precipitated and supported European settlement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Either the . 416 Rigby or Remington Magnum is the most popular caliber used for water buffalo hunting. The . 416 Rigby is so popular for a reason.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three types of rifles in particular were used by professional bison hunters, namely the Sharps rifle, the Springfield Rifle and the Remington No. 1 rifle otherwise known simply as the Rolling block. The Sharps was the favorite among hunters because of its accuracy at long range.
