Hey from Kevin

Welcome Kevin
 
I have been here for a while, reading and enjoying the myriad of posts and vast personal experiences. Just reading makes me happy (and to be truthful perhaps a bit jealous).

I spent twenty years in the Marine Corps and have been fixing helicopters my whole life. I have also been a lifelong "gun guy". My hunting experience has been mostly just deer and squirrels ( I do love hunting tree rats, yummy) in West Virginia and North Carolina. Having read way to much Rourke, Roosevelt, Bell etc in my youth left me with a desire, if not finances, to hunt Africa.

My rifle tastes are champagne to my beer budget. Part of the reason I joined is the great stories of the members firearms and observation of firearms topics. Little note here, I have discovered my CZ550 .416 Rigby is one hell of deer rifle, particularly with the old Hornady DGX rounds.

While I may not post very often I will enjoy the great company, wisdom, and often tomfoolery that I have enjoyed so far.

Welcome and enjoy. 416 is one hell of a cartridge for deer!
Good practice for hunting in the continent of Africa.

I was thinking of going with a CZ550 in a bigger caliber for white tail this year. Looking forward to seeing some pics, and hearing about using it. At least my pals will be able to tell it was me who shot next year with a big bore in the woods. Cheers!
