Welcome to AH, Enjoy your stay here!

Absolutely second this, also a lover on the Serie D but lately the last few i have had been very clogged. Was recommended this JOYA... can't take to it at the moment.

Welcome to AH, Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to AH Mate!

Welcome!

Welcome to AH! :S Welcome:

So my trip to SA is getting pushed 12 months because of a ankle injury. So this have given me time to think; I’ve always wanted a Blaser R8, by the time I sell a few I have in the safe it would easily achievable without the minister of war and finance even knowing! I would be getting one in...

Going to 3rd or maybe even 4th by now the Winchester 70, I have a new Featherweight in .270 and it shoots lights out with Barnes TTSX 130Gr the over all build quality, fit and finish is amazing.

Welcome from Australia, enjoy your stay!

Very late 90’s to early 2000 - they had a few runs with the G serial before they changed it.

By far my favourite rifle made, I have some some every era and I must say all my new ones are second to none for fit and finish. I’m saying that my mid 70’s push feed .222 is the more accurate rifle I own by a country mile.

Welcome to the forums mate, plenty of aussies around here, plenty of knowledgeable people too.

Probably my Winchester 30-30 trapper....... Because I live in Australia, Even against a pure evil psychopathic killer, our government still would still have all the good guns banned.

Welcome mate! I'm also heading over in March. Plenty of Aussies here!

Welcome mate! Enjoy your stay , plenty of info and knowledge to be found!

Qantas does , I’m all booked and paid. I only did it because it was actually cheaper and long haul leg is a fair bit shorter in time, also the airport is much smaller then Sydney from memory, although it’s been about 11 years.

This so all good information , I’ll be heading over in end of March 2023 Melbourne-Perth then Perth-Joberg. So I need to see ABF in Melbourne not Perth?

Welcome mate, lots of knowledge & interesting post here. Welcome !

Welcome to AH mate!

I’m in Australia but get all my stuff here. https://www.neptunecigar.com/cigars/isla-del-sol-maduro-corona

Loving the Isla del Sol Maduro Corona at the moment - currently my favourite all rounder.

Soooooooo out of all 7 pages of my question I basically have to go buy a .300WM, .338WM , .375H&H, .416RM , .458WM and can’t forget the .35 Whelen :A Stirring::D Beers: good luck to me getting this past the minister or war and finance :D

No Bundy!!?? You’re about 5 hours behind!! :unsure::D

Welcome mate! (y)(y)

It’s always a Bundy night around here! :cool:

I just didn’t include big bore because I have my eye on a .375 or .458 Lott but that’s a different story :LOL:

Hi All, Currently in my safe I have .222, .243, .270 and 30-30. Here in Australia I do all my deer hunting with the .270 and finding it does the job but…. Not including big bore for dangerous game, what would be the next best calibre to get to “fill the gap” if I say wanted to shoot heavier...

Hey Mate, I've just booked the hunt and the flights my self, this is also my first time so I'm just relying on research and talking to others. I've learnt a few good tips and trick along the way. Flying from Australia with Qantas seems pretty straight forward taking firearms and ammunition...

I know someone who use to have a 416RM that would have been very handy over there :cool: So he'll have to take his .375 or maybe invest in a new Rigby? :unsure::unsure:

Welcome aboard mate! Enjoy your stay. Plenty of knowledge and good people here.

Im in the same boat, Heading over April 2023 - Qantas to Sydney then onto Johannesburg stay the night then onto East London. If you book it all as one there will be a lot less mucking around connecting ect ect.... At the moment Virgin only seem to fly around Australia and some Asian countries...

I currently have both, I find the safari express shoulders better and just feels better over all.

I have just sold some property for a very healthy price so I have come into some money, I’ve already floated the idea with the boss (wife). Here in Australia there are a few for sale…. So it would be 30-06, 375h&h or 9.3 I am booked for a hunt in 2023 with KMG so it will be coming on that! This...

@Brent in Az Happy Birthday to you mate!

Romeo y Julieta, Joya Black, H. Upmann - Nothing like a good scotch and a cigar at the end of the week to relax. Only thing is like most things here is Australia they can be expensive so I order from the US of A unless I want Cuban.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen Mate..... i'm like a part of the furniture now :ROFLMAO:

Welcome mate, you will find a bunch of friendly and knowledgeable people here, Also as someone new I know I have. Enjoy.

Hey Cameron, Just looking at plains game for my first trip so - Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Warthog, Impala and Common Duiker. no doubt I will want to return and try more! Cheers, Shifty

@KMG Hunting Safaris i sure as hell do! Haha @Bob Nelson 35Whelen As It’s my first trip I’m just going to start with plains game, as for the rifle/cal no idea as yet, I have 12 months to think about it and change my mind 500 times or possibly buy something new . Cheers, Shifty

Hi Guys, I’m down in Melbourne at the bottom of Australia in the state of Victoria. I mainly hunt Red Fox, Sambar and Fallow deer. As for the rifles; I am a Winchester 70 and Sako 85 man and have .222, .22-250, .243, .7mm08, .30-06, .9.3x62 I have just sent off my deposit to hunt with KMG...

Hi Guys, All the way from Australia, I am looking to do my first African hunt early next year. I'll no doubt be reading a lot here and asking heaps of questions! Thanks for having me!
