Being a long time lurker here and come to the insight, that if you want the best this is it.
My interest has always been african hunting but, there always semes to be something comes inbetween.
My other interest is Rifles and a preferens to big bores, some what failing as I grow older!
I hope that all of you can forgive me for my lousy english.

Welcome aboard Mvh Peter. You are most certainly correct in thinking / understanding that AH is the best site for guys and gals interested in hunting Africa, big bore rifles and shooting in general. What have you hunted in Sweden? What caliber rifles do you own? Please don't worry about your English, it will not be critiqued or criticized.

Shootist 43,thank you sir.
I live in the southern part of Sweden, and down here the most common species to be hunted is Wildbore, that hawe had an explosion in numbers the 30 odd years I've been hunting.
Other game that I hunt is Rodeer Fox some Fallowdeer and occasionally Moose, that has dropped in number's since I started hunting.
Caliber wise I used to own 6,5 swede and own 22lr 22-250 308 30-06 9,3/57 375hh that I have owned a few of and finally a 505 Gibbs. And of course a shotgun that I can't hit anything with!
Another big interest is reloading, something that is absolutely necessary in Sweden if you own something little bigger, ammo prices is really high here (I think that a few years back a factory load for a Gibbs went for roughly 25 dollars.)

Best regards Peter

Peter, I live in Michigan and normally hunt Whitetail deer. My favorite rifle for that activity is a 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser. I own quite a few of them, including one built at Mauser's Obendorf Factory in 1896 and several built by Husqvarna in the 1940(s). I've taken a 6.5 X 55 Swede to Africa on two separate occasions. I too do a lot of reloading for a number of different rifle and pistol calibers.
