Buffalo. One simple word which is guaranteed to immediately grab my attention. Doesn’t really matter which continent we’re talking about, or the species, I love hunting buffalo. As a gun writer with the opportunity to test and try different rifles, I’ve used a number of different rifle models and cartridges for buffalo in many different countries. Some have been good, some have been great, and others are near and dear to my heart—I made them permanent residents at my home. Let’s take a look at some of the buffalo rifles I’ve loved over the years.Â
