Greetings AH,

New guy from San Diego here. Grew up in Pennsylvania and hunted for as long as I can remember. Have really enjoyed this site so far!

I pick up my first .375 H&H tomorrow. Ruger M77 circa 1997. Can't wait to get to the range and get familiar with the rifle.

I retired from the USMC 3 years ago and have been working as a contractor since then. Always saving up for the safari fund...hopefully in a couple years I'll be able to go back to Africa.

Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome aboard Hatchet Jack. BTW isn't that the guy "Jeramiah Johnson" got his 50 caliber Hawken from? Thank you for your service. We have a lot of Ex GI(s) in the group. Will you be shooting factory ammo, or do you plan on loading your own? ALL of the information you need to plan your trip is available on AH. Use the "SEARCH function to look up old posts / threads dealing with subjects of interest to you. You will be expected to shoot off "sticks" they can be homemade or purchased which ever you prefer. Begin your "stick" practice with a 22 or 17 HMR. Let us know how your new toy did at the range.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

where are you located? I would be happy to help you with you doing the reloading but I will only load for a very few real close friends as posted before liability is the problem. but will help you.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
