Dr. Kevin Robertson is back on the show to talk about Africa hunting rifles, especially for hunting thick-skinned dangerous game like cape buffalo. When hunting buffalo, you need a rifle that's accurate, sufficiently powerful, and unfailingly reliable under the most demanding conditions. Finding a rifle that satisfies all of these requirements is easier said that done. Fortunately, Kevin has lots of experience afield in Africa and he literally wrote the book on this stuff.

Resources
1) The Perfect Shot and Africa's Most Dangerous. Kevin wrote both of these books and I highly recommend purchasing copies of each if you think you might want to hunt in Africa one day. They contain a wealth of knowledge about the natural history of the major species of African game, cartridge recommendations, bullet recommendations, tips on shot placement, and general information about hunting in Africa. You can also purchase a pocket-sized mini edition of the Perfect Shot to take along as a reference on a hunt.
