Hello from Alberta, Canada

[dark_timber]

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!
