CZ550 Safari Magnum in 458 LOTT, load it upp with 450gr solid at 2400fps and you've got nearly 6000 foot pounds of energy.
an old saying comes to mind, the hunter fires, both the animal and the hunter hit the deck. the first one to his feet wins

The old "what's a suitable buffalo cartridge" is an ongoing and heated argument. Anything from the .270 to .5+ calibres depending on who you ask.
.338 WM will do it. Personally I wouldn't go any lower than that for a regular Buffalo rifle.
Anything left of those deer after you hit them with it?

might give gun emporium a call and see if they have one in stock
