    Free Ranging Game Question

    Most of the high fences in SA are to keep poachers out, not game. I doubt that most of the animals in the main farms that I have hunted have ever seen the high fence, the farms are that large.

    Qatar Airways + Firearms

    I can't remember if I read if the policy with American has changed or not, but in 2022 when I flew out of Denver on American my rifle and luggage was booked clear through to Joberg on American and Qatar flying through Dallas. One problem with taking possession of your rifle case at JFK may be...

    Shopping for my first plains game rifle - Thoughts on this Sako A-iii 30-06?

    You won't go wrong with that package. The Leupold scope is very well made as well as the rifle.

    Planning for my Trip

    Doing your own clearing can be a lesson in frustration unless you have done it before. Not to mention extra fees for storage while the USFW and USDA get their act together. This is where a importer comes in handy. They make sure that all the paperwork is in order along with having bonded...

    Using TSA approved locks on Gun case or Ammunation case

    On your rifle case, yes, any lock but I prefer to use key master NON TSA locks on my rifle case. I will only use TSA locks on my ammo case. Remember the only case that is inspected with you around is your rifle case. If you are there you can either open it yourself or hand the agent the key...

    Using TSA approved locks on Gun case or Ammunation case

    I would also wager that he was also taking anything else of value out of the bags. Back to not using TSA locks on your ammo case, you are risking missing flights, and or other problems if the TSA can not open and inspect it. But your ammo box is small enough that if someone wants it they...

    Using TSA approved locks on Gun case or Ammunation case

    If you have a case that has four spots for locks just cut two of them off and use two locks. Just remember, you are in their sandbox and likely will never win any arguments with them.

    Maximum point blank range

    I sight my rifles in with the ammo that they like and then just leave them alone. Most of my riles are sighted in at 250 yards. I shot game animals with that sight in distance from 5 feet out to just over 700 depending on the cartridge that I am shooting. The main thing is to know where...
