From sunny Southern Florida USA, Have always enjoyed reading collecting vintage + contemporary books and magazines on Africa hunting, game etc. been on some other forums fine and other gun and rifle-related. Most idealize vintage commercial rifles (and sxs guns), be they Mauser, Martini, Farq or other actioned. Fortunately run w a number throughout a caliber spread up to big bore. Despite an intermix w otherwise interesting souls in real life, I don’t personally know of anyone else who has such interest. Same as for an appreciation of 1700’s American and Brit furniture, bamboo fly fishing, vintage sport fishing tackle, industrial age and manual machinist work and such hobbies, the list goes on…

Work could get me to points such as Nairobi or Pretoria w govt folk, but I’d fear my time if I go out afield anywhere hospitable to a hunt would be relegated to camera shooting w out a lot of planning. So while I’ll likely never experience an in-person other-continent hunt much less Africa, vicariously this will for the time satisfy unless I could make it happen. Enjoy hunting in our Florida WMAs despite the somewhat regular mix of shin-deep waters and dry, and thorough sweating, but enjoy the still hunt stalking much the same for huskers.

Thank you for keeping up a specialized forum.

Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome to the forum, you are in the right place!
 
Welcome to the forum! I was station at Homestead ARB, and I went to high school school in Miami.

Where do you hunt at? In the 80s, before I joined the military, I used to hunt the Big Cypress, Loop Road, and Holley Land. Back in the day when we didn't have that many hogs, and snakes were everywhere. LOL.

Go Canes!

Rrrgcy, welcome to AH! Only one thing I can highly recommend…get your big bore to Africa on your own grand adventure! You’ll never regret it if you go and only regret it if you don’t go!

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!
