Kambaku near Otjiwarongo in Namibia is worth a look as well. It is fenced, but a very large fenced area. Excellent PHs, a choice of a comfortable hotel owned by the same people or a very nice bush camp. They have a lot of UK guests and a very sound, ethical operation. We did drive in to areas...

It amazes me that a country that can put men on the moon hasn't mastered the simple meat pie yet! I question of priorities I suppose. Some of the pies above look brilliant

This will give you some ideas https://www.scollinsandson.co.uk/bakery/savoury/?_gl=1*wub06p*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjA4Mjg2NDQwNS4xNzY2MjU3ODk0*_ga_9N1GJX9EJT*czE3NjYyNTc4OTQkbzEkZzAkdDE3NjYyNTc4OTQkajYwJGwwJGgw This is more or less what is available in most shops in my area

I am amazed you don't have pies in the US. I eat 3 or 4 a week. Curry pie is a favourite in my area. Available in most shops and petrol stations. Other local specialities are Scotch pie (good but heavy) and macaroni pie. All good hot or cold. Steak and kidney pie is superb hot and a pork pie...

I have used them a few times. Superb customer service and great prices. The brands you mention all have good reputations. I used to have Recknagel mounts. They are brilliant. Perfect return to zero. You can get them in the UK, but as far as I am aware, only gunsmith installed here.

I seriously thought about buying one before I bought my R8, but the only time I have seen one was a jammed rifle on a range. Also a second hand R8 in an unpopular UK calibre (30-06) doesn't cost much more. The ability to add a 22 hornet and a 375 H and H barrel is great. It is now my only rifle.

I had a look at a very lightweight Aluminium Chassis recently. I was surprised how comfortable it was. Has anyone tried using them in a hot climate? I imagine that being so conductive, it would get very hot.

Did anyone have any experiences? His prices are very competitive.

Sports Cover Direct are UK based and very easy to deal with, although I have never claimed. My normal broker recommended them for policies not available on the standard market and they do a specialist African Hunting policy

https://www.akah.eu/gun-covers-and-cases/akah-pirschfutteral-loden-63330128 I have seen these in the UK as well. They are loden, not canvas but look like a much better price.

I am certain that you won’t get anything UK made for less than the Croots slip. Perhaps a saddler could make you something?

Another option is Chapman Luggage in Carlisle. They are really good quality and a small family firm. I think they make bespoke rifle slips. I have one of their standard slips. It is really good quality but very rigid.

A couple of options: https://www.ardmoor.co.uk/products/croots-rosedale-canvas-roll-up-rifle-slip-flap-over-crs7 https://fineshootingaccessories.com/product/rifle-slip-lightweight-cover/?srsltid=AfmBOoo9RXf1dsqpHdmTbOksePkWvV3mNUn24Hr5peONf7Wjtkz-iyrx I am sure Brady used to make one as well...

I think well marbled but lean is fair. They are typically very slow growing but should be good
