I have been hunting in VA and NC my entire life. Turkey hunt in the spring, and deer hunt in the fall. I have always thought about hunting Africa since I was a kid and my plans right now are to go in 2026. I feel life is too short to wait until retirement to start doing the hunts that we all think about as a kid. I came to this forum looking for a 9.3x62 but love all of the information that is here. Nice to be here, and look forward to talking to many of you!

@404Pruitt
I have a similar story to yours. Took my first safari in 2022. I had very high expectations from a lifetime of reading about Africa. The real Africa met all those lofty expectations and even exceeded a few. You're right...just do it.
PM if you have questions. Planning is where most things go wrong.

Welcome aboard! I'm in WV...a couple states from you. My good buddy lives in Cary...so not too far from you. You'll find good stuff on here! I'll be "the first" to say it...look at a .375 H&H as your first one. Get a Model 70 Safari Grade and you're good to go

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!
