I first went to the Trans Kei in 2014. We had a morning snack beside the wreck of the Greek transport ship, the Jacaranda. It was 50% rusted away, or the steel scavenged at that time. We had a late lunch at the Trenary's resort. In 2023, we ended our tour/hunt with a couple of nights at...

I had grown to hate carrying heavy rifles so my 338WM was not invited. Just too heavy. All of the hunting writers at the time had recommended a 30 caliber, no smaller than a 30-06, a 300WM ideal. That's what they said. Kimber rifles were new to me, but I found that the Montana rifles felt...

I concur. Toronto's Pearson International Airport is a CLUSTER _ _ _ _. I avoid it at all costs now. It's not that long ago that it was rated the world's worst airport.

Everyone should go to a travel medical clinic before they go overseas. We usually have our shots updated (as required) and a pack of various medicines (recommended by the travel clinic) that may be beneficial if one should come down with anything.

I used a Kimber Montana in 300WSM with a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 shooting a Barnes 168gr TTSX over RL17 and CCI 250 primers in Federal cases. Shot antelope and zebra from grey duiker to Cape Eland. Worked very well.

Your experience does not surprise me. I used a different Eastern Cape taxidermist and have always had some issues with quality. I have been in their shop and toured it. Had dinner with the chief operator and his wife. Nice staff. Met the founder. And yet there is always something(s) that I am...

Good choice. Congrats!

Honestly, any of them would work. I've shot three Canada moose. Two were with a 338WM with the discontinued 230gr Winchester Failsafe bullet. The third was with a 300WSM with a 168gr Barnes TTSX. A family member used my 6.5 Creedmoor with a Hornady American Whitetail factory loaded 129gr...

To my knowledge, you cannot put ammo, whether in a locked case or not, in the case that holds your firearm. You can in many cases, put a locked ammo case in checked luggage. The only exception that I have encountered is flying within South Africa. They will often make you check your ammo case...
