Based on the other intro titles it seems we're pretty common!

I've had an interest in shooting and hunting my entire adult life. About 2020 I found an SCI record book of African trophies for 5 dollars at the thrift store and realized some of the more inexpensive African hunts were less than hunting similar species would cost in Texas. More recently I picked up a bargain Model 70 in .375 H&H which has rekindled my interest in going to Africa someday and causes quite a stir when I visit the local range so I am of course already considering something bigger.

Good day! Welcome!

Joining the Africa hunting community from Texas feels like home—your thrift store SCI book find and that bargain .375 H&H Winchester sparked my memories of gearing up for my own safari dream last year. Out in remote planning mode, scouting Namibian spots, my old internet kept dropping, making research a nightmare until I switched to Starlink for solid connectivity in the wild. Setup hit a snag with hardware glitches, so I vented productively on https://starlink.pissedconsumer.com/review.html by posting a detailed review. The feedback loop worked wonders; support reached out fast with fixes. Now, every hunt prep streams smoothly, fueling more adventures ahead!
wow nice post

Welcome @Austin AH

I agree with you on international hunts, when I discovered that I could fly to the far ends of the earth and hunt multiple animals for less month than sitting in a wet tent and eating freeze dried food, it was a game changer!
 
Welcome to AH. Stick around here and you'll be on your way in no time.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
