Agreed!! That’s about as good as a solution as one could ask. Still unfortunate though considering it’s Rigby.

I must have missed the post about a plan moving forward????? Bottom line - full refund and replacement is the only solution. Anything in-between is a cobbled together 6 figure rifle. Hardly custom at this point. Not to mention the time value of these mistakes. This will be an interesting case...

Do you have expected completion dates?!?!?

I too am from PA but haven’t had it out in the field - only range.

Here’s is a tread on my Krieghoff in 7 x 57 and 12ga https://www.africahunting.com/threads/krieghoff-drillings.79002/

I must admit, I’ve never seen a 2 piece full length forend on a modern double!!! Deep relief engraving is fantastic!!

Slight hijack, but what is the process for receiving exportably ivory?? Do you need to work through a taxidermist and/or specialized freight company? When I shot my Mozambique bull (45#), after detailed pictures and measurements, we had to surrender the ivory to the local “officials”. God only...

That’s my understanding as well.

What he said!!! I had another wonderful experience with Tsala this past May.

When I received my Impala from a South African Taxidermist it too had a less desirable cape than original. I was told this isn’t uncommon. Makes a BIG difference in your case though since your’s is a specialized variant. Best of luck!

Stunning!!

Obviously SCI, DSC, etc spends tons of time and money on lobbying efforts in regards to conservation, in which hunting is an integral component. Is it possible - or wishful thinking, that SCI could champion the establishment of competent, standardized inter/intra policies for the transportation...

Not to laugh, but once when I went to customs to complete the 4457, the agent was carrying my rifle by the scope like a freeking suitcase lol!!

Absolutely, worked perfectly on an old dagga boy and bull Ele!! Previous safaris I wore Kennetrek Safari boots, which turns out to be very noisy - hence the change to JG. Good old fashioned Dr: Scholls. I wear them with all my boots.

I went through the same quandary. I chose the Rangers and never looked back. I appreciated the extra stability and sure-footedness it provided me on my May safari. Be sure to get a sole liner though. When I bought them at SCI the rep said they are designed to be worn with a liner.
