My Rigby pre-war .303 British.

Serial number 2121, is a very straightforward and honest example of an early Rigby sporting rifle.

One rifle that’s caught my attention is the Big Horn Armory Model 89 lever-action, chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, particularly with the 22-inch barrel. I’m curious what those with actual Cape buffalo hunting experience — especially PHs and seasoned hunters — think about this rifle and cartridge...
