Hey all, same for us. Even Gunshop's now have to be registered and approved by FedEx to ship. That's why we don't do FedEx. UPS still handles all our firearms and ammo shipping with no issue. But we are retail store front. I do all my personal shipping with shop account to save the hassle.
I have used the African Sporting Creation 3 section compacts for the last 4 safaris and love them. I carry and use them at range for practice also. Wouldn't go on a safari without them.
Not sure on shipping out of USA.
I would prefer not to try. Done it before to South Africa and was it a pain. Not sure how postal to Australia would be.
I went with another Bell Carlson but little different color. This one matched to many other rifles I have.
Leupold VX5 HD 2-10x42 Duplex
Non CDS Non FireDot.
In box with all papers.
Scope has been mounted on a 7x57 and range shot. Going with different scope on rifle now.
$750 shipped UPS
Bell and Carlson black gray web CZ 550 Stock. Stock was set up for my CZ 550 458 Lott. Glassbed to that action, new pad and lengthen to 14" LOP. 8oz Graco reducer in stock.
I went with a different stock after setting this one up.
$300 shipped UPS
I second that.
I don't have as many trips as others. I have flown Delta 3 times, United 1 time, Qatar 2 times. This past trip was Delta out of Houston. I will do the direct route from now on with Delta. The extra travel time kills it for me as I get older.
I think it will be a big show and diversified. I have heard several African outfitters will have booths there, some doing DSC also. Splitting there manpower up
Also remember TTHA is still doing the Ft Worth Hunter Extravaganza in August.
Just my thoughts.
As others stated, it needs be sent back to Leupold. They will take care of it.
Also it doesn't matter what brand, if it's man made it can have issues. I just had send in a new Swaro Z6i, crosshairs broke inside scope on third shot.

Looking Good!! @gizmo has my June 2022 safari also. I told him to get other customers done first as I have no place to hang them at this time. Glad to see yours in progress.
I have done Qatar on 2 trips, 2.5 -3.5 hr layover on both. I was flying Business but had plenty of time on both.
If flying coach tho I would go Delta. Not worth all the extra flying time. Qatar coach is usually packed tight.
Thank you all for the comments!
Was a great trip.
Here is the only bullet recovered out of all the animals.
458Lott 500gr Swift Aframe. On the last Buff Cow. Was in opposite shoulder under skin.
Could not ask for better performance.
This last trip I just did. My primary PA had no issues with anything I asked for. Of course he know my medical history. I had inhalers for allergy, doxy and two other antibiotics, plus 90 doses for a portable nebulizer incase allergy got real bad.
The Giraffe skull and leg bone. Croc skull and hide are the only things coming back. It has gotten to expensive and I was there for the hunt! I have 2023 safari still there and combining both in one crate.
Leave it on rifle like others said. Just finished trip 6. Never an issue when left on rifle. I have never had to rezero either. Always good to go when I arrived. Just use a good case.
