So, the big question is: Will the white hunter be knocked over, stomped and meet his demise while trying to use that dastardly German invention, the cocker, or will he triumph over this unnecessary device and return safely?

I LOVE IT! Tell us how you risked certain death by going afield with that K-gun! Either of these have to be "stopped"? We all know that the 500/416 is NOT a stopper. Peter.

Day five. Another cow in the cooler. Quick left right at 15M on the trot. Still alive despite the fact that the K gun is trying to kill me. Bill73 can fill you in on the details of his charge and the results. Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

Hey, real nice work! Are you hunting in South Africa? I would love to take my big double to South Africa and shoot giraffe, wildebeest or anything else that I can stalk within range of. What is the stalking like where you are? Good chances of getting close? Cheers! | |||

Peter Not only is it a cursed K gun but it also has a Docter red dot sight, oh the horror, the horror. I love English guns but my wallet doesn't. I am very happy with my K gun, and after lots of research actually chose it because of the kickspanner design. But then I am not normal, I am after all an Engineer by trade. The red dot is very quick. The smaller cow has two entry holes, one on each side of the right horn. That was a very quick R L at 15M on the trot.

nitro450, I figured that once someone bought a K gun, that was just the first step down the long slippery slope, and the next step would be optics! Nice buff!

Looks like you had a great trip. Question 500/.416 or .470? Mainly buff on the menu, a few ellies (maybe) | |||

My 2 gun battery was K gun in 470NE and a CZ550 in .375 H&H. Bill73 had a 2 gun battery of K gun in 500/416 NE and Dakota76 in 338 Lapua. No ellie, got have an excuse to go back.
