Good evening,
Name is Ron, and I'm from the Olympic Peninsula. I've been on and off of here for the last couple years. Decided to join due to a new job that doesn't involve living in a steel tube under water and should get me back in Africa in a couple years. Been killing my own food since before I can remember, more from the ocean than anywhere else.

I went to Africa for a week about 10 years ago to settle my father in law's affairs and was able to get someone to loan me a 25-06 and killed a wart hog and a springbok. Looking forward to having the opportunity to go after more antelope and plains game.

Looking forward to continuing the conversations.

Noyb72, since you mentioned a liking for small ring Mausers, do you have an 1896 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser? That has been my go- to rifle for Deer and Hog sized game for the past 25 years. I have 4 that are still in Military guise but a bunch more that have been Sporterized. I've found them to be soft on my shoulder and extremely accurate.
 
Welcome to this great forum! Enjoy the site! If there is anything we can do for you please contact us.
 
Shootist 43,
I have one Swedish Mauser, a Gustav 96. It is in military condition with the exception of being put into a Ramline stock about 15 years ago. It is my son's go to rifle although he does not use it often. I have basically convinced myself to by him a 308 Savage Axis or some such and build the Mauser out with better sights. Love that cartridge and the gun.
 
Welcome, @noyb72. Thank you for joining, good luck with your planning. Let us know if you have questions.

PENDLETON AMMUNITION
PENDLETON AMMUNITION
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
