You can put in shipping cost filters. Depending on how many boxes he buys, can get free shipping. As others have said, Hornady is the only option currently for factory since Norma USA as stopped importing the PH line in the caliber. They've started bringing back the brass, however so we may...

I've used Alpine Taxidermy for a number of mounts and have been very pleased with their work.

Sample size of one for me, but the VIP service in JNB breezed me through what I'm sure would have been a two hour customs line otherwise. Highly recommend.

Robert and the guys over at APR are wonderful to work with and make a phenomenal rifle. Took one of mine to SA on my first safari and am looking forward to many more in the future with that rifle. Good luck with sale!

Did you have plans you followed for this that you could share?

Also curious, Doha was a fantastic airport in my experience. The Al Safwa lounge was under renovation when I was there but the Al Mourjan was still worlds better than any lounge I've been in elsewhere. As others have mentioned, use an import agent (I used Henry @ Rifle Permits, was very...

These look fantastic! I'd love to do a similar build, do you offer any of them for sale or do stock work for purchase?

I did get lucky with a gorgeous blank from Cecil and it was rather affordable. I had Will at Manitou help me select the best from the available selection at that price point. I didn't look at $600+ blanks but if this is what I got for $400 then I'm sure they're great. I will say, Tim at Matrix...

I did a 9.3x62 build a couple years ago. Used a Husqvarna 640 donor with an FN commercial action. Purchased the blank from Ceil Fredi and sent it to manitou custom guns for inletting. Then Matrix Gunsmithing did the finishing and re-barreling. Stock blank was $400, shaping and inletting was...

Can confirm on SA. Used Henry Durrheim at riflepermits.com and it was an absolute breeze and they just checked and recorded serial number of my rifle. And got to skip the customs/immigration line at JNB which was an amazing time saver.

My .404 Jeffery was built sometime between 1914 and 1925 based on the proof marks and makers address of 26 Bury Street, St. James's. Was restocked along the way in its African adventures and made its way to me last year. I shoot the 375g cutting edge raptors at 2,225 FPS - accuracy is great and...

Depending on y our spending patterns, getting the lower tier of Delta Amex paired with the platinum and gold cards is going to give you the best point power. You get 15% off award travel by having the delta amex, and some people have gotten 150k point sign up bonuses on the Amex platinum...

Jordan is a great guy. He's currently working on my 404 Jeffery.

This is exactly how I was able to pick up my 1910's W.J. Jeffery in 404. Seller was too old to hunt anymore and none of his children or grandchildren were interested. He wanted it to go to someone who would take it back to Africa. There are deals out there to be had.

Did you ever get anything back from Ralf? Currently looking for a similar solution for either an ACRO or RCR.
