I hunt bear using a 338wm and a Bushnell scope that has the BDC option.
(Bullet Drop Compisation) I can dope the scope from 100yds to 500yds with no error, no guessing and no Kentucky windage is needed. Just use a range finder and adjust the vertical turret for the exact distance. The scope comes with different calibrated rings for the bullet weights. You install the correct ring/dial so it's calibrated for your bullet weight. Zero the scope in at 100yds, set the dial at 100yds and your ready. I use this BDC feature from Bushnell on all my scoped rifles.
For cape buffalo I'd go with a weatherby 460 magnum anything less your bait. Remember the only thing a man can out run is a chicken.
And when your scared you can run as fast as you want too not as fast as you can.
