Hi everyone,
I've been a member of this great forum for several years so my "Hello there" post is well overdue.
I'm fortunate that I grew up in South Africa and hunt there frequently. I've only hunted plains game, mainly for biltong. I now live in Australia and have acquired a .500 Jeffery and a .435 PH Express to help me achieve my childhood dream of hunting dangerous game.

Welcome to AH!
 
G’day, I’m downunder too.
 
Gday, I am also South African born living in Qld for just over a decade.
If you dont mind me asking, what make and model is your 500 and where did you purchase it?
I am having a bit of a hard time finding dealers that stock large caliber rifles.
My local gunshop is currently inquiring from Winchester USA to source me a model 70 in .416 Rem mag.
 
Howzit!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
