Newbie from IL

[Jimbo12]

Howdy from the horrible state of IL. Finally joined as I'm ready to pull the trigger on a .375 h&h that this forum has been integral on my research and reading. I don't need a .375h&h, as it'll primarily be my gun of choice around North America, but look forward to eventually booking a safari and bringing this thing with! Help me find my new gun, and thanks for the endless hours of reading and lurking you've provided before I finally signed up today.

Jimbo12, welcome to the AH forum! I haven’t looked in a while, but the classified often have 375 H&Hes for sale. I sold 2 here a few months ago.
Best of luck finding your new toy!

Hi. Glad to make your acquaintance. As a fellow illinoisian I feel your pain about our home state. At least the deer and turkey hunting is decent.

Welcome to the dark side, good to hear that you do plan on taking the 375 to Africa.

Welcome to the dark side, good to hear that you do plan on taking the 375 to Africa.

That's the plan. My son is only 4.5yo, so the plan will be to wait until he's a bit older, and have a nice father/son time. Reading through all the various hunt reports have me excited, and I may have to take a trip myself, for "research" purposes

Welcome. The 375 is a great cartridge. Took a brown bear at 300 yards with it. Africa is a wonderful country. It will seep into your soul

Thanks Don! I look forward to it.

Welcome aboard Jimbo 12. Good 375 H&H(s) for sale, are a common item around here. They are quite versatile especially when loaded with bullets lighter than 300 Gr. Your thoughts of doing a little research prior to taking your son to Africa sounds like a plan. Stick around here for a while and you'll discover how soon you NEED to begin that worthwhile project. LOL

Oh the itch needs to get scratched. I'm currently looking at flights and price lists
