You are well inside minute of buffalo. Id be happy with that group and enjoy the confidence that it should give you. Keep practicing because it is fun but dont add doubt to yourself on the sticks. I use the Blasers because @Goose Cracker said they had "bad mojo" and sold them to me. Love...

Not a veteran, but one trip to RSA saw zero snakes. One trip to Zim saw a mamba and a puff adder. Mamba had gotten into a ruckus with something. Had bites on its head and mid section. We thought it was dead...and it wasnt. Puff adder was found by our game scout while clearing the way to...

I might still reach out to Tim at Matrix. My experience is he's a stand up guy and would want to help you figure this out.

Here it is. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/smooth-up-cz-550-bolt-action.46953/

Two thoughts. Possible neither is helpful. Somewhere on here there was a thread about a bit of DIY polishing of various parts of the follower and feed lips. I followed thise directions and haven't ever had an issue. Truth be told mine is a .375 H&H so different beast. Second piece of advice...

This is one of those things where the longer you look at it the worse it gets. I won't elaborate, but this seems like someone lost a bet in the most competitive fantasy football league on the planet and had to have this done to their rifle as punishment.

I once heard a story from a PH about a client who smuggled Bolivian bugger sugar onto camp with 416 Rigby ammo. Unseated the bullets, filled to a compressed load and reseated. Useless on a buff, but I guess selection was based on that large capacity case.

I am kicking myself now that I didnt get one. Maybe down the road. Or I will just get sticky fingers the next time I am at @Goose Cracker's house. :)

Echo this. I have a friend who runs an air evac service as part of his airline. You do NOT want to pay that bill out of pocket.

I've also used this 1300. I liked it because mine was also orange and it is big enough to be harder to lose. That being said, when we checked in to Atlanta they checked our bags all thr way through to Victoria Falls and I did not have to remove my ammo box. In case that info helps at all. My...

2nd to the recommendation to use a rifle permit service to answer this. I just got back from a JNB to VFA trip and back again and here are some thoughts. 1. You will need both a SAPS 520 and the Zim rifle permit. The Zim one you fill out by hand and give them at the airport. Here's the...

Bless whomever bought this. Thou hast removeth temptation to by a scope I doth not need. :)

I see FTF. Are you still in the UK?

I have a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6 on my .375 H&H and just got back from a trip. Can't say enough good things about that scope.

Its one of my many hobbies. GLWS.
