    416 Taylor build

    I am a Taylor fan for sure… But if you have a 416 Ruger already, why make it a Taylor?? The ruger action will definitely work, but I don’t see a lot of benefit except that you get to build a cool custom gun… which is all right in my book… So I say build away!! And keep us updated :D Beers:

    Taxidermy in checked luggage

    If it’s completed taxidermy, you have the paperwork, declare it and it’s not a “cities” animal….It should not be a problem. No different than purchasing a finished zebra hide at the airport….

    Pelican Air

    The weight is the downside if you looking to take lots of gear. I personally like it because I don’t pack that heavy, and I anything I do pack (camera gear, ect) is reasonably secure. I have also brought fragile (glass & wood) souvenirs and gifts back to the States without them getting broken...
