Did anybody try this in a Pelican 1700 with a Blaser R8 with two barrels with standard scopes? I am worried the 1" gap and the need for some not-straight lines will mean that there is not enough space.

Ah, thanks, had no idea (I live in Copenhagen so was extra curious).

I just can't figure out what Copenhagen is?

If you write in the subject line which outfitter you want to know about I am sure you will get more responses. I only bothered reading it because I am in bed with the flu, and got nothing else to do. Kowas is great. If non-hunters will enjoy it depends on their expectations, if they will join...

Got it, thanks.

Sorry, have been pondering over this: 'not technically correct for ele'. What does that mean?

I would probably fly straight to Namibia, then leave rifle with PH, go and do your things in SA and return to Namibia for your flight home. Return flights are mostly cheaper than roundtrips.

Do you have a picture?

Oh, got you, my misinterpretation of what not hitting the runway meant:-) yes, delays etc certainly happens, and the food etc ain't the best.

Interested in knowing what accidents he talks about, sounds like hearsay. They are fairly big in East Africa and I have used them a lot, never a problem. According to this they have not had many accidents: Wiki

I also carry it muzzle down, much faster, and being 2 meter tall I do not get stuck in branches, door ways, etc.

Great information, thanks a lot. I did not know it was that bad.

Have you experienced that this happens also if the silencer is removed when not hunting?

An additional thought on legality of silencers if not expressed by law: I believe a muzzle breaker is legal in most, if not all, countries. But are there examples of countries where it is written into the laws that is legal?

I see quite a bit about added weight and length, as cons for a silencer. I would argue that there are a lot of other factors than the weight and length of a silencer that contribute to that, depending on the rifle you have and how you carry your rifle. In my example (Blaser R8 Ultimate, .416)...

Please share the velocity data also. Thanks.

Dual sim phone, buy a local sim card. This way you get the cheapest data and can still receive text and calls in usual number. Then use whatever app you use back home, except text messages.

Thanks, yes, just plywood. I first used a too thin one so it bended, increased thickness to 9 mm, but still bending a bit so put some metal reinforcement beams on the back. Seems quite some strong forces on such a hide, perhaps because still drying. For the hide on the back I put in (plenty)...

Yes, om my kitchen table:-)

Got my hide from Namibia, put it up like this.

So, where was it?

¨Thanks, that is great info. I dont mind the heat, but seems the animals do:)

I agree with this, and there certainly aren't any hunting companies in Kenya (illegal), so really is out of context. And some of the other posts looks strange too. But perhaps there is a good explanation?

Fantastic, what a great hunt, and a good story! I thought it was shortly after the hunt but the watch says Wednesday 29, so I thought that would be August. But August 29 was not a Wednesday, so when was it? I am wondering because I am interested in the best time of the year, and thought...

Were lions around?

Nice zebra! Looking forward to a more detailed review of the bullet.

I have a spreadsheet that I made two years ago so prices might have gone up. The end prices are in DKK, but just change the exchange rate (DKK/USD) from 6.9 to 1 on each sheet and you should be good. Some of the details are in Danish, Google Translate is your friend. Wanted to attach the...

Would also like to learn from this, thanks.

It's always good to introduce yourself first, and to make your headings more telling, eg that u r "looking for a hunt in Hoedspruit". The heading as it stands now could mean many things. And then specify what animals, budget etc etc. Noobies should also adhere to standard forum etiquette.

Sorry, forgot this, in case the wall is white you can also put it/them in a frame with colours. This frame as well as the one around the green background in my posting above were both found in the recycling shed where I live. And when we are at it: I am not too keen on medals dangling around...

I like green and red.

As others have said, the article only say they will stop production in one location, not the entire production. The title of this thread is misleading, it should be changed.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Sorry, didn't read it properly. Saw Senegal and assumed Air France.

Just had a look on https://wwws.airfrance.dk/information/bagages/bagages-speciaux-hors-format-airfrance#tab Seems straightforward enough except this: The rifle and ammunition cannot be transported in a baggage item(s) containing other personal items. So you will either have two bags for your...

Ah, see now you will fly directly, so not even change of flight in another airport, that should make it a lot easier.

I've flown with Ethiopian, self-made, no problems at all - think I was even better off than those who had planned it with an agent as I had a zillion copies of everything, just in case, others did not and took forever. Reported rifle to Ethiopian once I got the ticket (bought online), got a...

Strelok can produce this. You enter bullet details and choose scope in app. And you can see it at different magnifications. The red lines are wind. You might need to load Strelok 'sideways' due to restrictions, but it works fine.

Namibia also have culls, see the deals section, e.g. Khomas, and the hides can be exported. Savings depends on what you compare with but certainly cheaper than trophies.

I don't see silencers mentioned here. I haven't tried muzzle breakers, but according to my gun pusher a silencer is almost as good as a muzzlebreak. I have ordered a A-Tec H3, size .458 where one can take off modules when hunting. (Have an R8 rifle so not very long all in all.) .
