Discovered this site while searching for info on a Unertl Programmer 200 riflescope of all things. Retired submarine skipper and nuclear field executive. Smallbore and Fullbore competitor at club level. Collect vintage custom smallbore target rifles of the 20th C. Lifelong North America game hunter, have lived all over the US. In my mid '70's now, and can feel my field time dwindling, so I think African hunting for me is most likely to be done here, vicariously!
 
Hello PNW Skipper,

Thank You for your service to this, once best country, to ever have jumped and breathed.

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

Yours Truly recently turned 70 years young.
So, my knees (plus other skeletal hinges) feel your pain.

That having been said, life on this planet is short.
So, do not let it slip past without at least one African hunting trip.

Furthermore, even if you decide to book with one of the other excellent Safari Companies, here within this, the world’s greatest forum, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have, regarding what to bring and what not to bring.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Giday Skipper and welcome to the A H forums. You will find many of us here are in the same age bracket with more hunting days behind us then ahead. But scarcity make them all the sweeter.
 
Hello and welcome!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to AH PNW Skipper! Thank you for your service. Enjoy exploring the site, good to have you with us.
 
Welcome PNW, it is never too late to hunt. The operators on this site will certainly organise you a hunt within your comfort zone. I too don't feel like trekking up mountains or fighting a clock on my hunt, and so it shall be.
 
:S Welcome:

Mid 70´s, no sweat, you can still do it :D Cheers:
 
Welcome to AH!

Welcome! My father shot his first animal in Africa at 80 years of age. So, my friend, you had best get planning :)
 
Welcome aboard!

Sounds like we're pretty close in age, tho I spent my service time exiting perfectly good aircraft BEFORE they landed.
As my Location mentions, I reside on the wet side in the PNW, so have had plenty of time to refine my backstroke...

Great bunch of folks here, so enjoy!
 
Welcome to the forum, you are in the right place!

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
