Thanks for all of the helpful advice (I hadn’t really considered visiting gunmakers, but will have to look into that!). Other than guns/hunting, I have to say my main interests while visiting Europe are history (primarily medieval, Reformation, WWII, etc.), food and anything tobacco-related...

I will be traveling in Germany May 21-25 (pickup car rental in Frankfurt and fly out of Munich). No set itinerary at this point, so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for “must see” things to see or do? Also, if there are any AHers interested in meeting up, I always enjoy...

I finished reading this late last year, and it is excellent indeed! I would certainly encourage anyone interested in tigers and/or tiger hunting to buy a copy while you have the chance! (I ordered mine direct, and everything went smoothly).

Wish I were (always wanted to visit Germany during Oktoberfest!).

Hi, I’ll be in Cincinnati Sep. 16-19 for work. If there are any AHers in the area that might be up for an impromptu get together I should have evenings free. I’ll be bringing a few cigars to share, in any case. . . !

Hi, I would take the following if they’re still available, please: H-18 H-22 S-4 M-3 I’d also be happy to use the AFRICA JULY code if you’re sure you don’t mind!

Meant to post this earlier, but I messaged Hunter-Habib and purchased two copies directly via wire transfer. Everything was very polite, smooth, and professional and I received my books in good shape! Haven’t read it yet, but it looks incredibly interesting! If you’re thinking you’d like a...

Hi, I’d like to purchase Augusts in Africa from you if it’s still available?

I’m not sure if it’s entirely accurate to describe CBL hunting as a method of harvesting the animals for commercial sale of parts to China. Isn’t it the case that the parts (including the trophy) were exportable back to the U.S. prior to the Obama administration banning them? So not really CBLs...

While my experience is fairly limited, I have hunted large/dangerous game with both calibers. There were no issues with either one, but I personally much prefer the H&H. My understanding also is that the case taper and belt give a slight advantage in reliability (extraction and feeding), which...

Although it is fiction, the novel Time’s Last Gift by Philip José Farmer presents an interesting perspective on the Magdelenian period in Europe (including “modern” express rifles). I highly recommend that book!

Hi, if available, I would like #2, #3, #7, #18, and #19, please. Thanks!

Thanks for the information! I’ve been there once before for just a couple days, and it is a truly delightful place (although I didn’t see any of the fabled Axis deer!). What a blessing to have family there that you can take advantage of for hunting! ;) Cash_tx, I’d be grateful for any...
