FOR SALE Zoli .58 caliber Buffalo Hunter

bones92 · Nov 16, 2024

Really nice rifle. .58 caliber made by Zoli. Has a nice rear sight. I'm not entirely sure this has been fired, or if it has, it was not fired much. Or cleaned REALLY well...

$450 and a flat $25 shipping to the eastern US, or a flat $35 to the west of the Mississippi. Zelle preferred, or PayPal F&F.

That looks like Zoli sporterized one of their Zouave muskets into a Buffalo rifle. I could see Bannerman’s doing something like that after the civil war.
Do you know the rifling twist rate?

It's a purpose built "Buffalo" rifle. These should be 1:48 twist. I forgot to say, included is the suede leather sling shown that attaches wraps the buttstock and attaches to the rifle.

If it is the 1:48, which I would have to say it could be bc it is the Buffalo hunter this gun is the real deal. Friend I hunt with has one, got it for bear but has been shooting deer with it and with I think it’s around 500+ grain bullet there is no tracking that’s for sure. Wonderful gun and it took him years to find, if someone is interested I pick it up don’t wait, I showed it to him and he was amazed at the price

I verified using a tight patch and it does look to be a 1:48 twist. I know these have a great reputation for hunters, but it would wreak havoc on the small NC deer we have around here. Now those big northern Whitetails might be better served, or maybe elk. Or bear.
