Thanks, I missed that. Updated.

Phillip, I started to reach out to you for guidance, but I thought, let me reach out to Delta first and get it straight from them. I have hunted Southern Africa several times, flown on different airlines, but never with firearms or ammunition. I've only transported archery equipment. My wife...

I appreciate all the input and I believe we have a plan. Going over in October, I'll take two rifles and get with the firearms dealer. In the meantime, my SIL is waiting to hear back from the same dealer about ordering me a Howa rifle. And after much thought and consideration, and reading the...

Great point So, let's hypothesize that we tipped the boat while on safari and all weapons were lost and prayers were said for their souls. Will anyone question the fact that there's no record of them leaving the SA or not returning to the USA?

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but it sounds like it's going to be really expensive, especially for several weapons and mine are not that expensive to begin with, so there's that. I do appreciate all of the advice and I will look into. Thanks for information.

I'll look into the broker suggestion. As far as the SIL buying me new weapons. Already in discussion on that. He's trying to get me Howa Mini Action, in 6.5 Grendel on order. But are you saying to buy them from the gun store? As in sell them first to the gun store? Just making sure I...

I searched for possible threads related to this topic and did not see one that matched. My daughter moved to South Africa and is engaged to be married to a fine young man. It's my fault, I hunted with him, he's a PH, a couple years back and then introduced my daughter to him. The rest is...

Contact Strang Middleton. He is a well known bowhunter in his own right and guides bowhunters for elephant. He is in Zambia.

Strang Middleton, without a doubt. He's the man to call.

These rifles are tack drivers. I have three of them chambered in 308. all with the short carbine barrel. LOVE THEM. They have a unique 9 lug bolt. I can't remember all the specs, but GOOGLE them and you'll be surprised at the information.

Tragic incident. Prayers to both families.

I realize I should just stop and not finish typing this, but like my wife tells people, "He's not very brite, but he can lift heavy things." And to be open and honest, I stopped reading the comments on page 4, it's a lot of content to digest. As a simple man that just retired from a decent...

My daughter arrives on the 29th from South Africa, she'll probably want to make it back for our second time to this awesome event. If so, we will have her boyfriend with us, so three total. We had a great time last year, looking forward to making it this year if possible.

Thanks Judge. I appreciate the information on your experiences. Looks like I'll be flying TA for the first time. Our oldest daughter just moved to Kimberley, South Africa. She's now working for an outfitter over there, but love is what got the ball rolling. Her boyfriend, who I hunted with a...

Congratulations on a great hunt with Pieter and co.
