Thank you. My list as a first timer is Kudu, Gemsbok, Zebra, Impala and possibly an Ostrich if I can find a reputable cobbler before hand.
As far as .cals, I went from 300 win mag to a 6.5 creedmore to possibly a 7mm and back to the win mag. I have several rifles to choose from and shoot them all well. I am somewhat hellbent on the 6.5 and suspect if I catch to much hell here I will take the .300 wm
 
Welcome welcome welcome
 
Welcome! I spent a lot of time, as a kid, in northern Idaho. Beautiful country! Good luck with your African safari planing.
 
Idaholandho, I reload my 6.5 x 55 Swede to within 50 FPS of your 6.5 Creedmore. If I were you, I'd take both the 300 WM and the Creedmore. Some of the animals you've listed deserve a little more horsepower. That being said there are plenty of smaller animals more deserving of the Creedmore. On my first safari I took a 35 Whelen and my 6.5 Swede. Both served me very well.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
