Over the years i have hunted with several PHs some good some not so good, but i have never met any better PHs than Lammie and Peter. They take their time to find the trophy you want and never push you to shoot, when you are not comfortable with it. On top of that, they now have their own...

I actually have that movie on a disc, given to me by his son David Hugh Ommanney, who now lives in Denmark and i am also the proud owner of his fathers pre 64 Superior grade win mod. 70 in 300 win.mag. from around 1959. I reckon it must have been rechambered or rebarrelled from maybe 30.06 to...

My agent has now confirmed that Safair has finally answered that they will not carry any kind of handguns, period. That information came from a high level at Safair. From another professional agent in the Firearms pre-approved permit and meet and greet business, i was told that Safair is...

I have an agent that do pre-approved permits etc look into it, they have tried to contact Safair, but they seem very hard to get in contact with. I did some research last night and it looks like Airlink is also offering transportation of firearms and their policy is that they WILL carry hunting...

As far as i know there are NO alternative carriers since SAA went out of business. I am in contact with one of "the specialist firearms travel agents" but so far they have not yet been able to get a clear answer from Safair. I had hoped that some of the members in here had experience with...

I have now contacted Safair, as i am planning a hunting trip with a .454 Freedom Arms revolver. I asked directly, if they could transport a hunting revolver from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth, but all i got back from them was the standard reply: "Kindly note we only transport firearms for...

Thanks for your opinion. I hope you are right, but i will for sure ask them directly before i book. As the situation with the covid- 19 is now, it might take some time before that happens.

Have you also noticed this: "The firearms and ammunition must be for sports purposes (rifles/shotguns) only; no Handguns or Modern Sporting Rifles (MSR) will be transported." No handguns !! I have been hunting with handguns several times in the Eastern cape, flying from Johannesburg to Port...

Have any of you experienced Africa hunters heard about a new "rule" imposed by SAPS, that prohibits 2 hunters to share a gun case ? I have been to the Eastern cape several times with friends and family and on every occasion some of us have shared gun cases. I have a large and heavy Pelican gun...

My personal opinion is not really that important and i actually tried to avoid answers with personal opinions. The thread was: Minimum caliber requirement (legally) in Eastern Cape ? I also have a 6,5 in the safe and i regard it capable of taking game the size of Kudu, not perfect, but capable...

No matter who has the copyright to the text in the 2 previous answers, i must say that i do not find it correct what is written about South Africa: I have attached the official "Norms and standards for hunting methods for hunting in South Africa " and it clearly states that: Minimum "9,9 gram...

Areaoneral, you are right about headstamps etc. but in my world the diameter for a certain caliber must be the correct and accurately measured diameter given in either mm or inch. Should it be measured on the top of the lands or in the bottom of the grooves ?? There are rifles that are stamped...
