I hope not

And some of the bullfrog products are insect repellent as well. Very good. I go with the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard myself.

So I guess it would be the length and some width measurements of each item? May give it a try.

I flew Qatar on that route.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Spare 2032's are critical for me.

This one!

Tell us how the iPhone app works. Do you just lay out your rifles as they would fit in the case and film them with the app? I am just wondering how the steps in the process went. Is it as easy as it sounds? Can you DM me the Blaser logo? Might want to play with this!

I shot my lion with a 300g Accubond and any of the better bullets you mention will do. The leopard is different and a softer bullet may be a better choice. I chose the Swift Scirocco and the results were devastating!

I'm always rocking the shorts!

Most customs clearance agencies don't own any facilities. Coppersmith does. Not at every port sure. They will not be more expensive but everyone's experience can be different as there are some airport fees that can't be mitigated.

There is nothing new under the sun. There are and have always been deceivers and with technology, especially AI, deception is easy. In the end judgement there will be a separating of the sheep and the goats. (Matt 25) We should not be surprised by a modern day separating of the believers and the...

This is awesome! I may have to do one myself just for fun. Thanks for relating how well it went for you. How did you get the Blaser logo on there? Did you just send a pic? How much was this setup?

It's behind a paywall so we can't read it. I was just there and no real news of any kind. We can always hope.

Wouldn't consider it myself. Too many better choices.

Do you mean at the range or 20 feet from an elephant? It's easy to remember which trigger to pull until there is something that can stomp you that you just put a round into and now your trying to follow up. I was all good myself pulling the front trigger until I got on DG. Then I wasn't so good...

But that Maven is Double the price. That's hard to ignore! I'll still take a bit of convincing but may look at them. If it costs as much as a Swaro, I'm buying a Swaro.

Personally for Africa I'd rather have a top quality bullet than the one that puts each and every shot in the same hole. Personally I would be a no on GK.

It is hard to ignore the Leupold VX5 3-15x44. I have one on my wife's Tikka. My requiremts are illuminated, locking dial, "windplex" (Leupold's term) reticle, 50mm objective or less. So it's narrows down to the VX5 and the Swaro Z5 3.5-18x50.

Thanks Mark and there are more informative videos that will help. Maybe it can be considered the "Easy Button"!

Conservation Force + Coppersmith is the only way to go on these.

Muscle memory is the key! I never had any gun with Double triggers until I got my first double rifle. Hence why I struggle with pulling the front trigger first. That's the difference!

I understand in an idealistic sense it is proper to pull the front trigger first. I hear what y'all gun experts are saying about trigger weights, design, etc. I get it. Some of you are experts and have read all the books on doubles and that is fantastic. My thoughts come from the real world and...

L because you don't have to think about anything just reach and the front trigger and it's right there.

A full RSA Safari all in package deal at $9500. Versus... Normal House: $400,000+ in most of America New truck: $100,000 Dinner for 4: $150 on low end Big bag of fast food: $20 I long for the good ole days of the $.59, .79, .99 Taco Bell jingle! Sure everything is going up safaris included yet...

I find scope weight on a heavy DG rifle to be irrelevant for the most part. Now on a lightweight mountain rifle like my Tikka I do pay attention to scope weight. I am contemplating buying the new Weatherby Capra and scope weight is going to be a big factor if I "pull the trigger" on that rifle...

Old wives tale from what I can gather. Maybe it was in one of the classic safari books from decades ago. Anyone recall? Mine doesn't make much of a sound when it ejects.

The PH I just hunted with pulls back trigger first.

I understand but it doesn't work when you get on DG. You will, at some point when it gets tense, pulling the front trigger twice. Unless you been shooting double triggers for many, many decades. How many people double? You can't pulling back trigger first. It is what it is.

Funny. I remember my late aunt worrying about me going to RSA because of Ebola back in 2014!

Yes surprisingly it has been several military folks who flatly stated "I would not go to XYZ country because of what I saw in the military". I'm scratching my head. What? What does that have to do with going on a mission trip to Guatemala or a safari to RSA?

Americans are deathly afraid of international travel and especially Africa. Your guess is as good as mine as to why this is. Your friend is quite correct and the cancellations on offer are all over the web this year. The fears of these folks are unfounded. Other than the Arab carriers flights...

I would say first of all in many circumstances you hardly have time to reload a bolt much less a single shot. This is where the double comes in. When I was researching doubles years ago I could not for the life of me figure out why there were so many doubles, especially used (interesting!), with...

I have the same rifle. Have you tried factory Barnes TTSX in 160g? Swift AFrame or Scirocco in factory ammo? Normally Tikka will shoot anything.

I got some stuff from Trader Keith. I'm not sure how to find his website but he is usually at the shows.

K gun in 450/400 and R8 with .300Win barrel. They go with me all over.

Learn to use the back trigger first or you will either double or pull front trigger twice at some stage. It will likely be in a tense moment. Ask me how I know! You will want the left barrel to be right on for that first shot. Be less concerned about follow up shots but that first one on any...

I spent 10 days hunting elephant in Matetsi 4 with Richie Schultz. This area is really neat in that you can climb hills and glass vast areas. We never tracked just spot and stalk. Sadly there were no big bulls to be found. Cows and small, younger bulls are all that was in the area while I was...

You can not risk going through NY or NJ with a suppressor. It is a felony. Other than that Qatar is a great airline and the rifle paperwork is not that bad.

It is best for most to use a sling. It can be tiring and you don't want to be shaky when the time comes. For most of RSA you will be fine it is the really thick places like Zim that a sling becomes a liability. I specifically do different grip exercises to be able to comfortably carry my double...

One of the many things SCI is fighting.

They (captive bred lions) are still legal to hunt in RSA but not exportable to the US.

I would be upset because this should not happen. When a deposit is taken on a package it should be honored. I understand the trophy fee price list can change but the package should not. Some of us see a red flag immediately when you mention it was a 3 animal package. The reason being is that...

I can recommend David Martinez from Espinola, NM. He and his sons run hounds and did a great job for me. Later on he hunted Namibia with me. Great guy that will get you a cat! dmvoutfittersllc@gmail.com

I've asked for clarification from the airlines etc and they say non-rechargeable AA and AAA Energizer lithium are not what is banned in checked baggage. It is the rechargable batteries for electronics etc. Those if contacted can catch fire. An AA battery can not. Energizer Lithium is just...

Please don’t use these flimsy reloading ammo cases! We will one day be banned from taking ammo a plane when one of these breaks and spills loose ammo in the belly of the plane.

I do love the lid organizer in mine. Packed and ready to head home.

Th This is why I use Google Flights to track. If I do check on the airlines website it is with a VPN and not logged in. Very good observation others should take note of.

You state that you flew for 10 years 30-40 segments a year. You are in fact a travel expert and yes sir you are in the minority here. Are we all this experienced? Is the new guy going on safari for the first time who never has flown but once or twice in his life to buy his tickets in his phone...

Yea I’m just out on business when it gets so expensive.
