Hello!
Long time poster on other forums - I'm sure I know a few of you.
Finally thinking seriously about a trip to Africa and this looks to be the place to gather the essential information as well as chatting with others with an interest in vintage and antique safari type rifles!

Welcome to an excellent site. Tell us s bit about your hunts and rifles. Your new friend, Brian

I've been collecting and shooting British rifles - single shots mostly but also some doubles and Mausers for some time now.
Also have spent a lot of effort and time getting my rifles to shoot respectably including swaging projectiles and even learning the case forming, bullet swaging and paper patching for black powder cartridge rifles.
Unfortunately, obligations prevent me from doing much hunting. That will ease up in the next couple years though.

I've had a thing for the original Oberndorf Mauser and pre war sporting rifles for some time.
Have sold quite a few including a great 350 Rigby, 6.5 Portugese TypeA and a 7mm Daniel Fraser, a really nice 425 Westley, a couple Mahillon 416 Rigbys (one prewar on a square bridge Magnum Mauser action and the other on an FN action), a William Evans 404 and a host of others.
Was buying and selling for a while actually to build the collection but have mostly sought out British and Scottish falling block rifles.
Now, I have two TypeAs, a Cogswell & Harrison retailed 10.75X68 and a square bridge 30'06 and a couple TypeBs as well.
Also a 500 Schuler Jumbo as they were called and a Hoffman chambered in 280 Dubiel that is quite fancy which was my Uncle's hunting rifle before WW2.
My favorite at the moment is an unnamed British 375 Express (9.5X56 Mannlicher) that is a joy to shoot and very accurate.
