I've started to read Col. Boddington from the first numero of Rifle Shooter. He's a great man. My n.1 teacher about reloading, tecnique, all. Respect, Sir.
Hello to all! Thrilled to find The Boddington Hunt and the renowned, spectacular Craig Boddington! So knowledgeable and love his methodical teaching! I want to learn Big Game Hunting in Africa, with much interest in Buffalo, possibly lion. I'm a native Texan and been hunting deer for generations but i want to go Big with Safari! God Bless America!
We've both got 416's, let's see what they do... They kick! A buffalo taken with irons, indeed, as good as it gets and that 2014 Rigby 416 is a thing of beauty. Great video!
@@Sporkmaker5150 Yeah, that looked like a good jolt to the shoulder. My M70 in 375H&H is about as much as I want to deal with. My rifle weighs enough to reduce the recoil to a sturdy shove, much like a 1911/45ACP when compared to a Magnum revolver. Those 416's are beautiful rifles to be sure.
@ 11:33 wow what a bull. What a dream hunt. I’d rather hunt Dugga boys but if I had an opportunity to hunt the herd, this would be the way to do it. I can’t get over the thickness that Carries all the way through & he’s super wide great bosses too. A smasher
following a professional hunter and trackers around and shooting when and how they tell you to shoot isn't earning anything. why not just go to the farm down the road and shoot a cow. basically the same thing. and of course the old asshole couldn't even make a proper shot from 50m. this isn't hunting.
Comparing the original Rigby to the new Rigby I noticed that Boddington,s recoiled straight back with less muzzle jump as compared to the original most likely due to improvement in stock geometry.
This is really not the best advertisement for hunting. I appreciate that there's usually a bigger story to tell, but this doesn't come across in a short video. Instead, we see people of a certain age are using iron sights to shoot 100+ yards (and wound in the first case), plus shoot from a car. Discretion should be used before posting such things - it comes round to bite the rest of us.
Kevin Howard - Tripp - no where did he say that you anti hunting piece of shit ----- Actually I'll take that back, that is highly offensive to the piece of shit, I shouldn't talk that way about shit, you on the other hand!
Yep I don’t care where you might go in Africa vehicle issues just happen even in new off the show room floor trucks....much less these tracked vehicles. However, I will say when they had to work on them before leaving camp made me wonder why that work wasn’t done prior to COL Boddington’s arrival
Well, having his trips recorded for TV ensures he is always given the best trophies to shoot. Never seen CB take smaller than a 40" buffalo. As most taken today are around 36-38", IMO there's more than luck to his success, they must stake out, weeks beforehand, the herds and area were the biggest buffalo are. Also, the bugger has never responded to any issues I've encountered in hunting - some ambassador if he couldn't be bothered replying!! And remember, he only pulled his finger out and did something for that beater his daughter shot on her leopard hunt, AFTER online AH members roundly critised him for not taking a proactive role for the accident and doing the right thing at the time of the incident. Again, some "ambassador".
i hunt during 35 years in all africa , one day i make a exprience , i kill a buffalo with my 375 HH and i want to know if with a 22 lr i can kill one ! so i shoot in his hear ( the buffalo was dead) i find my 22 bullet in his brain so yes you can kill a buffalo with a 22
Whether watching or reading Craig's work one can say it never gets tired.

Ever the Marine - perfect gig line getting off the plane. Always enjoy your videos, Colonel!
Semper Fi! Col. Boddington, and Thank You! for your Service! My Awesome Dad was a WWII Sergeant! 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

They kick!

They kill what's in front of it, and maim what's behind it.

Those 416's are beautiful rifles to be sure.
Excellent adventure! The .416 Rigby is my favorite for Buffalo in a bolt action.
Good to see a LH using a RH rifle as off sticks is quick to re rack a round....well done
Love the Rigby, it seems to me that you have changed your mind on this calibre. Really enjoyed coming on the hunt with you.

Nice to see the occasional great shot on buffalo. Too many videos are a marathon of 6 - 10 shots before finally putting them down.
Nice to see somebody earn their buffalo, and great to see with traditional open sights !.

Always good to see a hunting video with hunters who can shoot straight! Nice video! Go Air Force!
Colonel Boddington is a Marine, you zoomie puke!
Perfect, it shows you that you don't have shoot a Buffalo 10 times before it goes down. Excellent hunting.
I really enjoyed it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
375hh is an Iconic buffalo cartridge

Great adventure
Very Awesome Rifles, and Hunt. Semper Fi Sir.
Rick Nethery *iiii kk
good hunt very good
where did you hit the Buffalo ?
Africa! 😉
Nice shot
I think I'll run down to my local LGS and pick up a left-handed .416 Rigby.
Nice hunting
Don't use a blur tool. Nice video overall.
Need to work on shot placement
Is your gun borrowed for this hunt? I thought you were a leftie...?
he can shoot with either hand but prefers leftie model.
What hearing protection is Craig wearing in this video. Must be good if he's wearing them to sight in.
14:20 Probably $75,000.

but what happen to the killed ones? this is just for fun you guys walk away?
Jacob Baez I'm sure that most of the meat is donated to the poor/villagers!
did you not hear him say they take the meat it gets sold in shops and gets a high price for it
Kevin Howard - Tripp - no where did he say that you anti hunting piece of shit ----- Actually I'll take that back, that is highly offensive to the piece of shit, I shouldn't talk that way about shit, you on the other hand!
I drop $50K, I am not going to watch a guy work on his vehicle. Otherwise, excellent
Ben Baker yea I hear you Ben but if it’s got tits or tires or tracks it’s going to give you problems lol
Then you should rather steer clear of africa because shit tends to go south quickly
Yep I don’t care where you might go in Africa vehicle issues just happen even in new off the show room floor trucks....much less these tracked vehicles. However, I will say when they had to work on them before leaving camp made me wonder why that work wasn’t done prior to COL Boddington’s arrival
If moderation is regarded then no problem but if not,NOT.

Everything American is commercialised to the core. Sick.
You obviously know better. So go show them
These are not ethical hunters.
E. J. Guzzo ok EJ define ethical
