I flew BA Business on my recent trip to JNB from Seattle. The 777’s I few on were nice and had the updated configuration which is nice. The A380 from LHR to JNB was an older airplane, and had the yingyang config on the upper deck where I was. The nice new 787 from Heathrow back to Seattle was...

I’ll take the 7-08 ammo and brass for $100 shipped.

Really nice presentation! I especially love the look of that hartebeest European mount.

Congrats on some fine trophies!

You’re going to love it!

Thank you!

Thanks! I can’t imagine a better outfit for a first or subsequent African Safari.

I took a 1595 and 1615 on my recent trip to RSA. I didn't really need two suitcases, but since I wasn't taking a gun, I put my SLR camera in the other and piled my coats and other items around. I use the Amazon packing cubes, which are great. I can confirm that these cases will end up in the...
