Hello AH Members,
I am new to hunting Africa but not to hunting. I have my first trip booked for July 2015 for Namibia and the Caprivi Strip. I love my Blaser S2 (.470 NE, 9.3x74R & .30-06) and R8 (.500 Jeffrey, .375H&H and .300WM). I'll likely take my R8 for this safari.

I enjoy collecting and shooting big bore rifles. I just received my Martini Gunmakers designed HEYM Express Rifle in .404 Jeffrey and I am looking forward to giving this good run at the range. Here is the link to check out Ralf`s work:

Also, currently pondering an acquisition of the Rigby double square bridge mauser in the "Big Game" model chambered in .416 Rigby, now that they are under the same umbrella as Blaser, Mauser and Sauer!

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?
