The "Buffalo Hunter" was merely a sporter version of the Remington Zouave rifle/musket. Those are more common and probably cheaper. :wink:

I'd rather cut down a Zouave, I'd bet it would be more PC that way. :-D

slamfire it had a thicker barrel than a zouave did compare it to a zouave before it was stolen. val forgett sr used it in africa i used mine to take water buff in northern australia it was very accurate it loved big mini's and heavy loads and was easy to shoot with heavy loads it's weight was heaver than a zouave.

dodd3,
I stand corrected. :oops:
I remember seeing them in the Dixie catalog, and I made a false assumption.
