Good evening everyone,


My name is Forrest and I am new to AH.com! I was referred to you guys by Mr. Wayne from AHR.

As I’m planning my first hunt in Africa for hippo in 2026, I’m always trying to gather information on good outfitters as well as experiences and feedback from those who’ve been.


I’m also a collector of big bore rifles as well! Love them and get all I can when I can! Of course for hunting and practicality I have a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 416 Rem Mag which handles and shoots awesome!


Looking forward to reading and learning the content here as well as getting feedback from members!


Best regards,

Forrest

Welcome!

Hippo for your first trip to Africa - that’s great! Has it always been a bucket list animal for you?
 
:S Welcome:
 
Nice to meet you guys! I live in Gulf Hammock, FL. About 25 minutes north of Crystal River.
I live in Ohio, but own land just down the road from you close to Cedar Key. The village of Rosewood if you know where that is.
 
Absolutely! I hunt hogs there regularly
Got a BUTT-TON of them on my place.

Next time I'm down there I'd enjoy meeting you. Maybe dinner at Betts Big T in Chiefland. They have the best fried catfish, swamp cabbage and peach cobbler in Florida.

Stick around, you'll like this place.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
