From the most recent hunt.

Curious to know what the available dates are. Is this offer for 2026?

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.

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.
