Hello everyone,

Althought I have just joined, I have been reading the forums for a quite a while, lots of great content, and helpful members. (Should have joined sooner)

My background started at age 7, 22lr, and shotgun shooting. Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, Bird hunting came a bit later, all with my Father. Not much big game hunting, as he was not interested in that form of hunting, only the shotgun sports.

Over the years I took an interest in rifles and reloading and now have way too many. I do plan on a trip to Africa to hunt and have begun practice from all the advice I have read here.

I own a small farm, the "Windsock Ranch" and have built multiple different shooting ranges, shotgun and rifle, with the longest rifle target at 776 yards.

As a retired Airline Pilot, I do obsess over the smallest details, especially in my metal workshop. You may notice that in my future posts.

Cheers,

The Captain

Welcome to the forum. My husband is also a pilot and works for Alaska Airlines right now. Looks like you have a set up that my husband would LOVE. We have targets set out to 1000 yards but that's it. Anyway, enjoy AH! Sue

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),

Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?

What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?

Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.

Happy hunting - Daniel
Our trophy shed is filling up and we are only getting started,

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)
