I am a corporate pilot and will be flying a trip in January 2026 to Cape Town for 14 days. The routing will most likely be US-London-Cape Town. I have hunted Limpopo in 2024, airlining into Johannesburg. Two questions for you all and thanks in advance: 1. Hunting opportunities near Cape Town in...

Very cool rear of the mount with the tracks!

I recently got a Portuguese Safari Express in 375. So far, no problems in 40 rounds. Fit, finish and function are fine.

I assume that’s the Talley mount for your RMR? Just ordered one for my Safari Express and am eager to try it.

Funny enough, my first time to Africa was with my brother-in-law. Now planning the next trip. I guarantee it will be a great experience for you, even on a limited budget. Good luck. Mark Austin, TX
