Greetings from central Georgia!

Welcome to the family and the forum @CBeck !
 
Hello! Like so many others, I have been lurking here for years, reading, learning, dreaming. Like most here I love firearms and dream of hunting in Africa one day with a fine rifle companion.

I don’t know if I will ever make it, but I have my rifles ready. The top is a Winchester model 70 in 7mm rem mag that I restocked a couple of years ago, and the bottom is a Ruger Hawkeye African that I just picked up in 280 Ackley improved. I have hunted with a 280 Remington for 30 some odd years and when I saw the Hawkeye African in 280 Ackley improved I had to have it.

I’m a sucker for a rifle with iron sights nice bluing and pretty wood. The Ruger stock is plain but functional.

I also dabble little in knife making and feel a knife should be like just like a rifle…..a good companion that looks good and functions well.

Thanks for a great site and your generous sharing of knowledge. I don’t have much to contribute but I look forward to listening and learning.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
