Hello colleagues,

Obviously I've just joined. Although I have been taking a look at this forum since being in Africa on a work trip back in 2014. I've hunted big and small game off and on, as well as upland birds, since I was a teenager in California. I've lived abroad some and have always been interested in firearms. I've always had and interest in the big bores used for African hunting but never had the opportunity to own or use them. So I still keep a lookout for these rifles and regularly see what members are selling here. Glad to become a member.

Welcome to AH
 
Greetings Sundance,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I too lived in California for a time (born in Torrance).
While living in North-Central Calif., during the early to mid 1970’s, I shot my first hoofed animal (feral hog) in Colusa County.
That was with my old early production Ruger M-77, .257 Roberts and now sadly discontinued 3x Leupold scope.

Likewise, I have been interested in firearms as far back as I can remember.
Many but not all types of firearms are fascinating to me.
As such, my main interest in them is hunting rifles, specifically Mauser rifles, single shot rifles and double rifles (double barrelled shotguns as well).
I am also fond of certain vintage handguns.
And don’t even get me started on antique fly fishing tackle, Tonkin cane rods, Winchester reels and so forth.

Well anyway, when you can spare a moment, I invite you to have a look into the Khomas Safaris website.

Best Regards.
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome to AH! I grew up in the DC area, but over on the other side of the Potomac near Rockville.

@Sundance - welcome aboard !
As a VIRGINA “transplant” myself - I Think you will enjoy the posts and learn a lot, no matter what questions you have it’s likely someone on this forum has the Answer - or will point you in the right direction to get one.
 
Welcome to AH, @Sundance. Lots of useful information here on hunting and big bore rifles, many enablers lurk here as well.
 
:S Welcome:

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
