    Carl Zeiss stops scope and binoc production 2026

    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.

    Travel agent useful for Europeans?

    Travel agent useful for Europeans?

    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...

    Travel agent useful for Europeans?

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

    Travel agent useful for Europeans?

    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...

    Rifle scope reticle choice ...

    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.

    Cull hunt questions

    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.

    Recoil reducers

    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.) .

    Horn-only mounts?

    I personally think a zebra hide can look a bit zilly :LOL: so plan to do this when I get mine, perhaps especially good for low ceilings: https://www.forsythart.com/products/sterling-silver-framed-zebra-hide

    Ethiopian Airlines declaration form??

    Velbekommen! And see now you also asked for info if still required. It was in October last year, plus you need to call Ethiopian (have an office in Kbh), or have your travel agent do it, to put your weapons on the ticket. I had confirmation from Ethiopian that it was done, but as it had not...

    Tattoos... advice from those so adorned

    As usual in these threads it seems people are responding with answers that has nothing to do with your question, you are not asking if it a good idea or not or if people like it, you are asking about experiences. I had my first when 57, own design on my arm that everybody agrees is beautiful, a...

    Exporting Firearms from Germany

    I would not be surprised. I was involved in trying to get just a barrel out of the US. It seemed impossible for me to transport it to the airport. And I bet here in Denmark you can't do it either: for anybody to take posession of a weapon, the seller need to see a weapon permit, and that is only...

    What calibre? (Yet again)

    If the PH suggests minimum .300 for zebra I would certainly use that as an excuse for bringing my .375. But also the 30-06, to camp only, not on the stalks. Once you have shot your zebra, you can change barrel. That must be one of the great advantages of a R8, two rifles in one case.

    Anyone run a muzzle brake-suppressor combo on a .375?

    Ah, yes, perhaps no added sound as such, but it is louder for the hunter's ears, and the neighbors.

    Anyone run a muzzle brake-suppressor combo on a .375?

    That seems not to be entirely correct. See eg my earlier post: " "The way I read the data, for a .338 LM caliber, 338 Ultra-RR, one gets a reduction in sound at shooters ear from 137 to 134 db using a sup+brake and down to 132 db using only sup. Makes sense to me that a bit added sound with...

    Culling belt vs Cartridge Slides

    Sounds like a good product. Searching online I find something from china, from Malaysia, something for cars and something for seals, etc. If you have a direct link I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Anyone run a muzzle brake-suppressor combo on a .375?

    If brakes do not reduce recoil, what would then be their purpose? To make the shot louder? Or?

    Anyone run a muzzle brake-suppressor combo on a .375?

    This seems to me one of the more less subjektive responses with facts and less opinions. The way I read the data, for a .338 LM caliber, 338 Ultra-RR, one gets a reduction in sound at shooters ear from 137 to 134 db using a sup+brake and down to 132 db using only sup.

    Three European calibers for a do-it-all R8

    Thank. Certainly good to have opinions, and I am sure many will agree with yours, and they are all good choices. I remain a bit curious though, as to why you find the 7x64 "more suitable for long range" (might also depend a bit on how long-range is defined). It seems the 9.3x62 has most energy...

    Three European calibers for a do-it-all R8

    For European I have .243 for smaller game (and in Denmark also, if enough energy, also red stag if it happens to pass by), and 9.3x62 for larger, that should do it. And just got a .416 for the world, for buffalo and larger - in some countries .375 is the minimum, and then why not go on step...

    INFORMATION NEEDED ON HOW TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL HUNTER

    My suggestions would be to start with changing your subject title to something that tells others what you are looking for. Just writing PH could mean a million things, eg want to find one, you are one, you want to complain about one, to ask what a PH is, etc etc. But you want something...

    Taking Impala Trophy to UK from Zimbabwe by plane

    Do you have a link to EU rules on that? Or does your 'not sure' refer to that you are unsure about the EU 90 days, or unsure about if it applies to UK.
