You get the pocket knife, tools and that very beautiful case with a canvas travel outer slip.
So is that yours Kevin or are you considering it?

Also how is it different than other HS other than the extras like the case, etc?
 
Yesterday in a SA gun store I looked at one of the new Mauser 98s in 7x57 R. The wood to metal fit was horrible. It looked like the stock was made for a .375 H&H. Sad.

Hi yhc, no, not mine. I was in contention for a standard HS in 275 Rigby, but then I found a brand new Ruger No1 here in South Africa in 30-06 and bought that instead. It wasn't about the money, I may be hung, drawn and quartered for saying so, but I like the Ruger No1 better.

As to the WDM Bell edition, they have superior wood and the finishing and checkering is superb. There are minor detail changes, firstly the safety is the same flag as on Bell's, although the rifle comes with a horizontal change out.
There is an indent in the stock on the left side to accommodate his gloves better. And the wording on the metalwork is WDM and has some special numbers. Make no mistake, it is a superb rifle overall.

We can probably just go with the hanging. Drawing and quartering gets a bit grisly.
 
I'll take the No.1 before the hanging. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
