Hope you’re all doing well and having a great season, wherever you may be!
Born and raised hunting fishing and trapping in a little town in BC, grandson to a grandad who made a couple trips to Africa, and always said I should go, when I grow up.
Following his tracks through life has led me to hobby of rifle stock making and dreams of hunting Africa. He made 2 trips to Africa in the 80’s, both times for Cape buffalo in Zimbabwe.
His second trip, he built himself (gunsmith / stock maker) a beautiful .458 Wm on a Mauser 98, but unfortunately the airline misplaced his rifle and he had to use his partners rifle that trip.
Iv dreamt a lot of years about taking that .458 and use it for what it was intended for, since he never did get a 3rd trip.
I look forward to poking around the site and learning more about such an adventure, thank you for having me!!
