    How many of you use QD rings

    I have them on all my large caliber rifles and a number of others as well. I'm not so much worried about taking off for tracking/follow up, as all are 1x8's so it's always down on 1 when moving. My reason for QD's is scope malfunction or bad fall and out of zero. I can detach and still be in...

    Traveling with ammo

    My last trip to SA, my duffle/ammo made it, but my rifle stayed behind in Atlanta. First time I've lost either. Good news is my rifle made it in late the next day, but lost a day and a half of hunting due to having to transit back to J'burg to retrieve my rifle.

    Getting mixed answers on bringing ammo into South Africa

    You can't bring in ammunition without a rifle chambered in that caliber and no ammo without a rifle in general. I.E., if you are temporarily importing a 30-06 to hunt with but are also attempting to bring in a few boxes or 375 H&H for the outfitter you are going to have major issues with the...
