So the family has officially made the call to go on Safari in 2026 Summer...joining the forum to research...

Welcome,

Get ready for information overload.
 
:S Welcome:
 
So I've been excited to do this trip for years and it's a bucket list thing for me. Dad and I grew up reading and talking all things related to African hunting. Now dad's 85 and won't be able to go with us but the boys and I are gonna do it. Cannot wait. More to come but hello!!!!

Welcome to AH! Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you about @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS.
 
Good luck and welcome to the fold.

Please do keep us posted and tell us more about where you are going and what are you hunting.

As well as your means of taking.
Northeast South Africa. Plains game. I’m wanting a nice warthog amongst other things. Boys both want a wildebeest. We are bringing two rifles. .308 and a 300 win mag unless I buy a 375 first.
 
Welcome from Indianapolis, Indiana - the racing capital of the world! ️
 
Welcome. You’re in the right place.
 
Welcome and enjoy

It's a darn shame that your dad can't go along, but age comes with a cost. My suggestion is that whoever isn't on the rifle should be taking photos and/or video of the safari. Not just hunting, but camp, travel, etc. Then do a good editing job and put it on the television where your dad can watch as if he had been there.
 
I would not be surprised if a moderately used large caliber double rifle comes up for sale here soon. Watch for it. No one should go to Africa without a $20K gun. Just not done. :D

Kidding aside, lots of helpful info here. Don't hesitate to ask. Welcome aboard.
 
Good day! Welcome to AH. Enjoy your research!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
