Caprivi/Zambezi ‘23

My experience has been identical to comments already made by others. One tip for you…make dang sure that you have a pen with you to complete your customs form upon arrival. There are no writing instruments of any type in the customs area…I’ve watched people beg, borrow and purchase pens from...

I went with the 1615, actually got one for the Mrs as well. Plenty of room…one of those and a small backpack and you’re good to go. Both are fluorescent orange…a slight deterrent for a thief as they stand out vs blending in with more common colored luggage.

Hope the link works. Brief footage of Tim calmly letting a black mamba bite him on the arm, twice! This guy certainly qualifies for the Brass Balls award! https://www.watoday.com.au/national/tim-friede-exposes-himself-to-venomous-snakebites-20250502-p5lw19.html

Would you mind posting a picture of the grips that you described? The black checkered hard rubber…the ones shown on the gun are smooth brown walnut. Thx

A baby-frame beretta with a “sling hardware kit”??? For those times when you absolutely, positively can’t take another step carrying your 5.5 lb. shotgun at port arms-nice!

A couple of Chapman’s from the Caprivi and the b&w photo is a Hartmann’s. I have yet to meet an African game animal whose company I did not enjoy at the dinner table, but zebra is the best in my opinion. Great on the plate and a challenge to hunt…or at least mine have been!

What Tanks said! I switched to 1615’s a couple of years ago. The Mrs and I have 2 fluorescent orange ones and since they stick out like dog’s balls, the chances of someone swiping them at luggage claim is greatly diminished.

I concur Tra3…nothing beats a 375 “Flimmed”!!
