    Who's Flying Qatar This Year?

    It added a day to an already long trip. The whole trip home was around 72hrs. Qatar did set us in a nice hotel in Oslo and took care of everything the best they could. Other than getting home a day later I couldn't really complain about how they handled it. It could have been so much worse.

    Who's Flying Qatar This Year?

    Last year we flew Qatar to Windhoek. Long flight through Doha though. Amazing service through out the entire trip. The only issue was we lost an engine over the North Atlantic and had to do an emergency landing in Oslo. This year it is Delta direct into JNB.

    Elephant -Buffalo hunt in Caprivi

    Malan Lambrecht is who I would recommend. His outfit is Arub Safaris. He is one of the few dangerous game PH's in Namibia. I had the privilege to hunt with him last year on a plains game hunt, but his specialty is dangerous game in the Caprivi. He is an absolute consummate professional.

    Handgun for wolf protection

    This post reminded me of the armistice during WW1 between Germany and Russia so they could kill the man eating wolves…. I would think a single stack 9mm Glock like a 43 or maybe a SIG 365 with a micro red dot would be perfect. I can’t imagine needing anything more than a 38 or 9mm. As for ammo...

    9.3x62 barrel twist

    A 12 twist is pretty standard in the .366 bore diameter. A little more twist will not have any measurable negative affect on the intended projectile.

    Trijicon MRO Sight Placement

    The MRO is rather bulky and really limits field of view. I recommend the RMR over the MRO. At a certain distance down the barrel the housing kind of just disappears. To far down and your eye start to pick up the housing and to close you start looking through just the glass blocking field of...

    Remington 30S Express Action & All Parts

    I had a 500 A-Square in the A-Square Hannibal rifle which used that action. The OAL was 3.750 with that cartridge and it easily fit. I would imagine you could make a cartridge up to 3.900" fit.
