I have been here for a while, reading and enjoying the myriad of posts and vast personal experiences. Just reading makes me happy (and to be truthful perhaps a bit jealous).

I spent twenty years in the Marine Corps and have been fixing helicopters my whole life. I have also been a lifelong "gun guy". My hunting experience has been mostly just deer and squirrels ( I do love hunting tree rats, yummy) in West Virginia and North Carolina. Having read way to much Rourke, Roosevelt, Bell etc in my youth left me with a desire, if not finances, to hunt Africa.

My rifle tastes are champagne to my beer budget. Part of the reason I joined is the great stories of the members firearms and observation of firearms topics. Little note here, I have discovered my CZ550 .416 Rigby is one hell of deer rifle, particularly with the old Hornady DGX rounds.

While I may not post very often I will enjoy the great company, wisdom, and often tomfoolery that I have enjoyed so far.
 
Hi and glad you started posting. Lots of us have champagne tastes and beer budgets when it comes to rifles. For me it is all about accuracy and reliability. African hunts, especially cull hunts are not unreasonably priced. Keep reading AH and you may find yourself going after all.
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH Kevin! Hope yo can make it to Africa soon.
 
Welcome Kevin, glad you signed up:)

You have the rifle now just "make a plan" to get to Africa;)

I discovered that my copy of the exact same rifle scared everything into hiding just by being in the truck. I hope one day to test it and see if I can replicate your results.

Welcome to AH.
 
Welcome :S Welcome:

Hallo, ein Freund von mir lebt auf einer Farm in den Rocky Mountains.
Leider kam es dort in den letzten Wochen zu Bränden.
Hoffe es geht dir gut!?
