Hello folks,

I'm a new member to this forum but I've been perusing here for a while. Thanks to all of you for sharing so much good information. I've hunted in the Western US and South Africa. I am partial to the older, more traditional calibers and enjoy reloading for them. I also prefer stalking or stands to long-range, stand-off shooting. My next hunt is for barren ground caribou in Alaska this coming fall (provided it is not disrupted by the pandemic). The oldest firearm in my rack is a Winchester Model 54 in 30-06 made, I believe, in 1925. My most recent purchase is a Ruger African in 275 Rigby. I am anxious to get started playing with handloads for it.

Cheers,
Matthias

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?
