Greetings everyone,
Just wanted to stop and say hi. I hunted plains game in Zimbabwe with Butch Walker back in ‘99 and then marriage, kids and life in general kept me hunting primarily stateside. Now I’m getting restarted on my African quests with a trip to SA this May, and then to Botswana in ‘27. I have long appreciated the insight and wisdom found in these pages and am happy to have finally joined the AH party. Thank you in advance for the help I will undoubtedly ask for!

Best of luck to everyone his year - stay safe and have fun.

Darin

Welcome to AH.
 
My dad left me two Browning Safari rifles, a .458 Win and a .375 H&H. Someone has worked over the .375 action and it’s butter-smooth. Really fun to shoot.

Here’s the .375:

Welcome from Spokane!
 
Hello sir. A bit of waterfowling, yes. Mainly upland hunting as far as birds go but I love a good duck or goose hunt!
The Washington coast has been in my shrinking waterfowl bucket list!
Enjoy the forum!

Beauty! Your dad had great taste and I’ll bet you’re proud to have them. Two great chamberings too. I’m curious, does your 458 have the long (Mauser-style) extractor or the short push-feed style bolt? A very large % of the 458s I’ve handled have the push feed style bolt.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
