For the last few years, I followed a number of threads on Africa Hunting especially on the 303 and 9.3x62. I learned a great deal and it helped me hone my weapons and hand loads. After returning from my second trip to Africa, using both those calibers, I have so much meaningful experience to share. My first trip to Africa, 19 years ago, was to film a hunting movie using nothing but a 454 Casull . Handgunning Africa followed myself and my late guide, Claude Kleynhans, take 9 animals with the Freedom Arms revolver. I look forward to learning and sharing with all of you.

Sincerely,

Mark aka 454

Welcome from another WA guy. You dry side or wet?
 
Giday and welcome to the AH forums Mark.
 
Welcome aboard Mark aka 454. I envy guys that can use a 454 Casull accurately. My handgun hunting stops at White Tailed deer with a 44 Magnum. Do you own a 9.3 x 62, if so, what make is it?
 
Welcome to AH sir. We have another AH member @edward who has hunted African Game with a hand gun!
 
Welcome to AH Mark! Nice to have you on the posting side.
 
good to have another handgun hunter here on the site,my wife and i started handgun hunting in Africa in 2002,been 5 times ending in 2014 when i was forced to use my only rifle,a double in 9.3x74r because of the air lines refused to transport our handguns to our final destination.i had planed to use my scope sighted encore in 9.3x74r,oh well,times are changing sad to say,best of luck here at A.H.

Hello and welcome!
 
Hi Mark, welcome to AH !
 
Welcome Mark! Love the FA revolver. 475 Linebaugh is my favorite flavor. Hope to never need it for griz but feel comfortable that I have it.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
