Well that took exactly 15 minutes :D Beers:

Yes you will pay for dip and pack. You will also pay additional shipping costs if you have full mounts shipped from Africa. If you have the Taxidermy done in the states you will have a lot more control and recourse if something does not work out to your satisfaction. That does not work so...

Ship it all back to Texas and have @gizmo do the taxidermy in Amarillo

I think he was referring to my comment about about going to Russian jail…. Or at least that’s the way I took his reply…. Maybe he can clear it up

Ummm ask @chonk34 about his Russian “vacation” after brown bear hunting….. Hunting bears in Romania with Marius is a welcome option for avoiding the Russian experience….

Glad it worked out for you

This is an excellent example how things can happen and how they should be sorted.....

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Cant wait for the rest :D Beers:

The owner and the PH recognized the error and tried to make it right. Thats all you can ask... I have learned to trust my Ph's. If the PH says shoot the 3rd one from the left, I am going to do my best to shoot the 3rd one from the left, unless I have a really good reason not to do so. examples...

You can!:)

Received the final shipping quote today... I am having it shipped to Seattle and Don Wallace with Vantage Point Services is doing the import... https://www.vantagept.com/

I have hunted guinea fowl, Francolin, sand grouse, teal, and Egyptian geese. I would love to hunt rock pigeon over sunflowers. I think that would be a blast.

Yes Sir, I agree

I think we should organize an Argentina AH group bird hunt or bird / big game combo hunt….. It could be a bast

I hunted Blackbuck and Axis with MG Hunting. It was a blast and they are a first rate outfitter. Next time I would like to hunt waterfowl or doves with a group. I hunted outside Buenos Aires and next I want see more of the country and possibly do some trout fishing as well.

I have hunted both. They were different experiences but both very good. I really liked Argentina and will not hesitate to go back

Excellent. Sounds like you are all set! Have fun :D Beers:

I have never heard of the 4452...BUT CBP Form 4457 is proof that to the airline AND ARRIVING COUNTRY that you are the legal owner of the firearm. It also shows the CBP previous ownership of the firearm when you return the States and that you did not purchase it overseas.... You need to get...

Thats a cool rifle!

Excellent! Thank You for sharing :D Beers:

I agree with you that donated hunts can be a good way to raise money for organizations with all the good intentions... I disagree with you that when hunts go good people do not say anything. We see positive hunt reports here on AH all the time. Even from donated, auction and raffle hunts. But...

No worries at all, it happens. Thank You for the heads up regarding the change. Lots of folks, including me, use Qatar so this is a crucial piece of information for sure. :D Beers:

Yes I understand. I think I was trying to agree with you... I copied and pasted directly from their website today. There is no form available. It says to contact them.....

I just looked at the Qatar website and it does indeed look like things have changed. Here is a copy and paste from their web page. In the past there was firearms declaration but just had to be provided 30 days prior to travel if I remember correctly.... What city did you depart from and which...

Well welcome to AH :S Welcome: That is quite the rifle!! I am sure there will some folks by here soon that know WAY more about it than I do...

Yeah, it would be good if they would make some introductions and provide some pics and additional details to support their reports

I believe that @riflepermits.com can make arrangements for you as well as the Afton House and African Sky lodges close to the airport. I would start with Henry at riflepermits since you are only a few weeks away... Good Luck! :D Beers:

Want to go with something classic, the .257 Roberts or .270 win are hard to beat. Want to go a little more "modern" a 280 AI would be cool.

Excellent. :S Welcome:to AH Perhaps you could post some your hunting pics and taxidermy pics with us?

:S Welcome:

Excellent! Cant wait to follow along with you all :D Beers:

Yeah, I believe they are trying to stand up for an outfitter that they like and had a good hunt with. Thats cool. But the outfitter should be able to stand up for himself.... Bad hunts happen, and the Outfitter can not always make everyone happy 100% of the time, but when a hunt gets off the...

That’s cool. I would like to see it. Post it in this thread if she can. I get it

That’s cool. Do you have a picture?

You definitely have a post 64 magnum action. The rear spacing is closer together because the action opening is larger for the longer carriages, If the spacing is .330 like @One Day... suggests, they are available on Amazon...

what outfitter are you using? Looking forward to the full report when you return! :D Beers:

@Moe324 this is really cool. Thank you for sharing. I know your first AH hunt report was (is) a bit of a circus (not your fault)….BUT This thread helps build credibility for sure. I hope you plan stick around AH and continue to participate…. :D Beers:

This is a great offer! I hope someone, or a couple of folks, jump all over it

How about this… @speedfire which FFL are you going to use in the Denver area? Go ahead and take them the rifle and we can contact them to verify…

Yeah I agree. The scammers around here are seeming to evolve. We have had several in the last couple of years playing the “long game”. Getting involved and even participating and even working with a second person “partner” to help provide them some cover and “authenticity “. Using a VPN to...

Yeah, a VPN (virtual private network) can set their location anywhere they want

It could make a good donor for a custom build but not at this price

Yes sir there have been a few over the years. I remember one distinctly where the Outfitter responded with "yep it happened, and I will do whatever I can to make it right". When he gave his explanation it was clear exactly what had happened and how it all happened. I would have no problem...

Yes there were. I had one for a bit. But the barrel was stamped correctly. I would like to hear from the OP how and when it got converted

Can you tell us how and when it became a wby?

I would like to hear from the outfitter for sure. We have seen negative reports before and how the outfitter responds (or doesn't ) call tell a lot about that outfitter. If the outfitter responds taking responsibility and attempting to make things right, it goes along way to proving his...

:S Welcome: Excellent first post Thank you for for the report.
