That’s a nice set up, @jimbo1972. I never heard of spent brass ejection problems with R8 before. I have shot hundreds, if not thousands of rounds, using various barrels on my R8 rifles without a problem. I am trying to imagine what might have happened. Do you recall whether you pulled the...

Man…only if it was a right handed DR. ;)

I have received long guns to my local FFL in AK via USPS, UPS without any issues. USPS is usually the most economical option but the maximum insurance coverage is up to $5000. So that could be a limiting factor.

I’m en route to JNB via Doha, aboard Qatar Airlines. I started my trip on Alaska Airlines to Seattle then transferred onto Qatar Airways. No problem with flying with my firearms. The only potential issue was that Alaska Airlines agent at Anchorage airport tagged my rifle case and the bag...

I like how you operate. Purchase a scope first THEN build a rifle around it!!

I will DM you, Will.

Will, I will be flying the same route from Anchorage to JNB via Alaska Airlines and Qatar Airways in May as well. I contacted Qatar Airways (specialservices@us.qatarairways.com) and informed them of my plans to fly with my firearms. Now they are fully aware and it shows up on my Qatar...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Recently I had to get a replacement mount for my Docter/Noblex red dot for my VC DR. It's not for Trijicon or Aimpoint but the sight mount has Weaver rail. First, I ordered an EAW mount. EAW Docter Sight Mount It worked fine, except the mounting plate is 11 mm tall. With that I just could...

Congratulations on your fantastic hunt, @Aussie_Hunter. As I was reading your hunt report, it felt like watching one of those informercials. "Not one, not two...wait there is more!!" I certainly didn't expect 3 buffaloes in the books. Well done Aussie_Hunter.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

My VC 450 NE is regulated with 99 grains of H4831 and H4831SC and am quite happy with it. But I will have to try RL 15 this summer just to compare the recoil.

In May roe deer season should be open in Germany. If your visit coincides with the open season then you could consider spending a day or just an evening out hunting with a guide.

Happy Easter!! When we used to live there, my family and I enjoyed visiting Rothenburg on de Tauber and Neuschwanstein Castle, Both are iconic places along the Romantic Road. Since you will have a rental car, you could drive the entire stretch of Romantic Road and visit different towns and...

For those who use Re15 or 15.5, how many grains for each powder do you use for reloading 450 NE 3 1/4” using 480 gn bullets? I use 99.0 grains of H4831 with great regulation on my VC. I wouldn’t mind trying out Re15 to see I can feel any reduction in recoil.
