Hello colleagues,

Obviously I've just joined. Although I have been taking a look at this forum since being in Africa on a work trip back in 2014. I've hunted big and small game off and on, as well as upland birds, since I was a teenager in California. I've lived abroad some and have always been interested in firearms. I've always had and interest in the big bores used for African hunting but never had the opportunity to own or use them. So I still keep a lookout for these rifles and regularly see what members are selling here. Glad to become a member.

Greetings Sundance,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I too lived in California for a time (born in Torrance).
While living in North-Central Calif., during the early to mid 1970’s, I shot my first hoofed animal (feral hog) in Colusa County.
That was with my old early production Ruger M-77, .257 Roberts and now sadly discontinued 3x Leupold scope.

Likewise, I have been interested in firearms as far back as I can remember.
Many but not all types of firearms are fascinating to me.
As such, my main interest in them is hunting rifles, specifically Mauser rifles, single shot rifles and double rifles (double barrelled shotguns as well).
I am also fond of certain vintage handguns.
And don’t even get me started on antique fly fishing tackle, Tonkin cane rods, Winchester reels and so forth.

Well anyway, when you can spare a moment, I invite you to have a look into the Khomas Safaris website.

Best Regards.
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome to AH! I grew up in the DC area, but over on the other side of the Potomac near Rockville.

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!
