Hello all. I found this forum researching both hunting Africa and Blaser R8s. Just here for the knowledge for now, but hoping to get to Africa in a few years when we are empty nesters. Thank you for letting me in.
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

What are you wearing "Jake from VA?"
Not sure if that's what you were going for with the title, but it's the first thing that I thought of. Welcome to AH!

Welcome Jake, from Grahamstown, South Africa!
Best wishes with your Africa hunting trip planning. There’s a great deal of information available on this forum.
What are you planning to hunt?
Once you’ve been, you’ll definitely want to come back!
Great to have a new member here!

Greetings Jake from VA,
Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
One of my sons lives a few miles outside of Lovettsville, VA.
He sometimes posts in this forum under his screen name of: DoubleLunger.
Mostly, he is an archer, lately switching from all these modern mechanical marvels (compound) over to traditional longbow, wood arrows, etc.
That said, he can also run any rifle like a stolen Porsche.
But, he just prefers to bow hunt more than any other way.
I guess that’s about all the news that’s fit to print around here.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
PS:
My smarty pants phone here just now went back to its old trick of only letting me post one picture or no picture at all.
So, I’m unable to post my son’s best longbow photos.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
