Greetings to all from Georgia! Found this site via a search for Elgin Gates (Greatest gun guru of ll time IMHO!) and decided I need to be a member here.
Sadly, I can no longer shoot the big boomers and will be offering up some for sale in the near future, I'll post here as soon as I read the regs for doing so. Not very likely to ever again go to Africa at age 75 but can still dream.
Looking forward to reading and sharing here on the site.
Best regard,
TrapperP43
 
trapperP43, welcome to AH! I’m not as old as you at a mere 71, but I am booked for a lion hunt in 2019 and taking my youngest granddaughter in 2020. I’m sure I’ll know when I’m too old to go. Shootist43 is your age and he and his son were there in July.
Never count yourself out!

Welcome to our place trapperP43
 
Trapper P43, I turn 75 next week and just got back from Africa. I used a 404 Jeffery to drop an Eland in its tracks and a 35 Whelen on a Nyala. Age is a matter of the mind, if you don't mind it doesn't matter. P.S. I requested a wheelchair at Atlanta and JoBurg. Where there's a will there is a way. Welcome to AH, I hope you find it as exciting and informative as I do.
 
Welcome to AH sir......from a man born in Augusta.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
