Hello to everyone!
Been a lurker here for years. I really like the spirit of this forum. Hope to hunt in Africa one day, preferably with my own rifles. Am hunting here in Germany with some older relics like Mannlicher Schönauer model 1908, several Models M98, M66 and elder shotguns, mostly SxS.
Greetings from Lower Saxonia in the north of Germany.

Welcome welcome welcome…..kraut
 
Welcome aboard Dirk. Having hunters from all over the world is one of the things that make AH what it is. Hang on to those "old relics" of yours. Most here would agree that even though they are a hundred or more years old, they don't get any better. What caliber are they? What have you hunted with them?
 
I'm a hunter for about 30 years, so there are more than two or three animals in my book. So let me just list some of the guns:
Musgrave 98, 9,3x62,
Sauer 80, 7x64,
Mauser 66 full stock, 7x57,
M 98 full stock, 7x57,
M98 Gewehrfabrik Danzig, 5,6x57,
Sauer Drilling 7x57R/16,
Krieghoff Drilling, 7x65R/16,
Remington 1100, 20,
Miroku 1886, 45-70, and some.
Obviously, there'a a lack of double rifles!
Once I'm grown up, a double rifle in 9,3x74R will reside in my gunsafe. Westley Richards :love:et al. are a bit out of reach. But Merkel or Verney Carron, Heym or Krieghoff could perhaps be manageable. Sooner or later...;)
 
Kraut, welcome to the AH forum! Some fine sounding arms you have! Hope to see you in Africa with some of them.
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome…. You will find a wealth of knowledge here.
 
Waidmannsheil Kraut!

I lived in Rheinland Pfalz from 2016-2019. Really enjoyed my time, shot a couple of reh and enjoyed our travels there.

I was born in Rheinland-Pfalz. Lived near Diez/Limburg till the age of 20. Miss the woods and hills (sometimes) but the flat north has it's own character and joys.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
