Hello from Montana

Welcome to AH! Glad to have you on board.
 
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!

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!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

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
