Hi Everybody! (Dr. Nick)

Finally joined, read lots of posts over the years, seems like great forum. I’m a gun nut, and a hunter second. I have not been to Africa hunting yet, but I have always dreamt about cape buffalo hunting in Africa. My main focus has been elk hunting in Alberta, and have shot a couple decent bulls. But i hate cold weather, so I'm turning my focus to hunting in Africa. I’m finally in a position in my life where i can make that happen. Hello all! Im looking forward to discussing African Hunting and especially Large Caliber Rifles!
 
Welcome to the best African site. Don't say too loudly that you have safari funds. There are lots of us on here who will try, convince and most likely be successful in convincing you to spend and go. Once you do its "normal" life over. Nothing compares to safari.

Enjoy the site now as a member, congrats on joining. BTW you are living in the BEST province in this nation.

Welcome! You've come to the right place. You may want to search the web for Canada's 2026 SCI conventions and try to attend if you can. Plenty of outfitters with hunting packages and you can talk specifics. P.S. I hope Alberta secedes from Ottawa. Your province is the Texas of Canada.
 
Welcome to AH.
 
Good day! Welcome to AH!

Welcome to AH Bigbore585!
 
Welcome aboard. You have some great hunting out in Alberta, I am a little jealous on that front. But if you don't like the cold it can be a little rough.
 
Welcome to AH Dr. Nick
 
Hey thanks for the welcoming replies!

Definitely lots of great info here! It’s definitely nice to be on a forum where there’s lots of discussion of classic rifles and cartridges! Don’t get me wrong i love long range shooting and new stuff, but my heart is walnut and blues rifles. Especially ones for dangerous game.

Thanks all! Looking forward to great conversations.

Thanks! Oh yeah! There’s tons if great hunting here! Yeah unfortunately I can’t stand cold weather. I’m a warm climate person unfortunately. I did hunt for a long time in the cold, but warm vacations during hunting season keep happening lol.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

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!
