Hello.
After lurking for years I finally decided to open an account here. I do not think I can contribute much however I may as well participate where I can.
Time and money will likely never allow me to visit africa, but I have accumulated tons of books, and being a bona-fide gun nut, I am going to vent my passion on african weaponry. I joined as the quality of rifles for sale on here are much superior to elsewhere, and as I am now in the market for a Double Rifle or .416 Rigby/.404 Jeffery/.505 Gibbs I believed I should join y'all.
I do plan on participating in the classifieds on here, and I want to say up front: All participation will be strictly my own personal interest. I mention it as I own a firearms shop and customized fitting shop here in Montana and don't want someone finding out later and thinking it's for business. Everything around here locally is .30-30 leverguns or modern synthetic hunting rifles.
I need to be online to find like-minded people in my personal interests. Although I appreciate all types of hunting, the classic Sportsman era of the 1950's/70's very much appeals to me, in both gear, guns and the spirit of hunting. I try to do that here in Montana as well as I can.
Hope I can add some input if anyone has any questions about Montana, primarily the hi plains/border area. See all of you around!
