That's great! I am really glad to hear it. I have been reading on the forum for a while now but finally took the leap to join! The amount of knowledge is quite impressive and I am looking forward to learning from the community going forward :)

Oh wow... I am very sorry to hear that. It sounds like the man lived quite an interesting life.

Very cool! Unfortunately, I won't be in the Vienna area at that time otherwise I would be glad to meet up. A week earlier and it would work out. Otherwise I am normally ~5,5 hours away...

Awesome! If you don't mind my asking, where are you in Austria?

Wow... talk about some extraordinary situations! Glad it worked out well for the people involved. Both stories make for good arguments for CRF.

Thank you for the great feedback and for the tips about the pre-64 Model 70s. I wans't aware of that.

Those are great animals, btw! Gemsbok and Kudu are the two animals on the top of my list. I have been dreaming for years about hunting them!

For sure - at this point I don't have to be in a rush and I need to remind myself of that. In this case I didn't want to let a good deal slip through my finger. However, in this case, I think I may be better served to either wait for either a different option or a price reduction. Otherwise I...

You are absolutely right, quality preparation trumps gear every time. I have no concerns about the .30-06 - it has been my primary cartridge both back home and in Europe. However the idea of having a specific fun for Africa has a certain quality to it - and the justification of getting a...

I think that definitely plays a role here. It is quite often the case the Remington and Winchester rifles (even moreso with american make shotguns) have a tendency to sit on the shelf for a while. Given that a .375 isn't a "typical" cartridge for most austrian and german hunters, I image that...

Like @FlowHamed18 said, it is definitely possible to find .375s over here but they aren’t sitting around at every gunshop. Ordering them is no problem and there is a strong tradition of gunsmithing in Austria. Steyr used to produce a „tropical“ version of their Model S but it is hard to come by...

The price in this case would include shipping and the export process from Germany. If I could avoid that it would save me €150+

Hi Everyone! I am going to be going to Africa for the first time in 2025. For this hunt I will be focusing on plains game with the largest animals being hartbeast, eland, and oryx. I am consdering picking up a .375 H&H to have as a general purpose rifle for hunting in Africa, not only for this...

Hi Africa Hunting Community! My name is Matt and I am a lifelong hunter from the USA, but am now living in Austria. I have had the chance to do a fair amount of hunting in North America and western Europe and am now preparing for my first trip to Africa - Namibia specifically - in 2025. I look...
