I would probably fly straight to Namibia, then leave rifle with PH, go and do your things in SA and return to Namibia for your flight home. Return flights are mostly cheaper than roundtrips.

Do you have a picture?

Oh, got you, my misinterpretation of what not hitting the runway meant:-) yes, delays etc certainly happens, and the food etc ain't the best.

Interested in knowing what accidents he talks about, sounds like hearsay. They are fairly big in East Africa and I have used them a lot, never a problem. According to this they have not had many accidents: Wiki

I also carry it muzzle down, much faster, and being 2 meter tall I do not get stuck in branches, door ways, etc.

Great information, thanks a lot. I did not know it was that bad.

Have you experienced that this happens also if the silencer is removed when not hunting?

An additional thought on legality of silencers if not expressed by law: I believe a muzzle breaker is legal in most, if not all, countries. But are there examples of countries where it is written into the laws that is legal?

I see quite a bit about added weight and length, as cons for a silencer. I would argue that there are a lot of other factors than the weight and length of a silencer that contribute to that, depending on the rifle you have and how you carry your rifle. In my example (Blaser R8 Ultimate, .416)...

Please share the velocity data also. Thanks.

Dual sim phone, buy a local sim card. This way you get the cheapest data and can still receive text and calls in usual number. Then use whatever app you use back home, except text messages.

Thanks, yes, just plywood. I first used a too thin one so it bended, increased thickness to 9 mm, but still bending a bit so put some metal reinforcement beams on the back. Seems quite some strong forces on such a hide, perhaps because still drying. For the hide on the back I put in (plenty)...

Yes, om my kitchen table:-)

Got my hide from Namibia, put it up like this.

So, where was it?
