Greetings AH,

New guy from San Diego here. Grew up in Pennsylvania and hunted for as long as I can remember. Have really enjoyed this site so far!

I pick up my first .375 H&H tomorrow. Ruger M77 circa 1997. Can't wait to get to the range and get familiar with the rifle.

I retired from the USMC 3 years ago and have been working as a contractor since then. Always saving up for the safari fund...hopefully in a couple years I'll be able to go back to Africa.

Welcome to AH. Thank you for your service and good luck with your new .375!
 
Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome aboard Hatchet Jack. BTW isn't that the guy "Jeramiah Johnson" got his 50 caliber Hawken from? Thank you for your service. We have a lot of Ex GI(s) in the group. Will you be shooting factory ammo, or do you plan on loading your own? ALL of the information you need to plan your trip is available on AH. Use the "SEARCH function to look up old posts / threads dealing with subjects of interest to you. You will be expected to shoot off "sticks" they can be homemade or purchased which ever you prefer. Begin your "stick" practice with a 22 or 17 HMR. Let us know how your new toy did at the range.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
