I just returned from two weeks in the east cape via Cape Town. All is well.

Was this a problem that needed fixing? I don't understand what difference this makes for traveling from the USA to international destinations with a suppressor. Been doing it for years and never had an issue going or coming back. Just have the suppressor listed on your 4457 and make sure you...

Hi Philip. It was Tulsa to ATL to CPT to PE. Latches were discovered open and dampness present upon arrival at CPT. As pointed out above, there was a ground stop at ATL for heavy rain prior to departure. It's possible that the latches were opened and the case just left in the rain with the...

Emile and Kirstin run a fantastic operation and the hunting is as real as it gets. If you enjoy hunting in miles upon miles of unfenced wilderness, you should reach out to them. My highest recommendation.

You're right. There was a hard downpour that caused a ground stop for a period of time. Hadn't recalled that till you mentioned it. That could explain the water inside. But still scratching my head on how all 4 latches would have come undone.

Just a heads up. When my Pelican case arrived at CPT from my July 4 flight from ATL all four latches were unlatched, which has never happened in over 15 international trips, and the case was held shut just by the four padlocks through the lock holes. I assumed unusually rough handling. I...

I, along with @WoodFire, arrived at a remote African hunting camp only to sit down to eat alongside an honest-to-goodness world famous author. He was held in very high esteem by WoodFire until the dinner was over. Then we concluded that he must have had a ghost writer.

The only hunt I ever went on where I didn't take my own rifle was in Scotland several years ago. The guide handed me his personal rifle (which he was very proud of) and it proceeded to slam fire the first time I closed the bolt. Scared the crap out of me. Thankfully it was pointed in a safe...

Mine turned out fantastic. Elected distance vision in both eyes and wear readers for long stints reading, although I can manage the phone for short bursts without having to put readers on. Vision regularly tests 20/15 and one of 12 people ever to test 20/10 in my doctors office (just one...

Re-read this and the comments today, as I'm heading back in 2 weeks to where this low light occurred. Different PH this time. Ha. All the comments were great and re-reading them sparked a flood of memories. Sometimes the low lights later turn into highlights.

Outstanding, all the way around.

Interested if there is any meaningful difference in firearms process or anything else I should know. TIA

Good info. About to deal with mine now.

Matt has built me the most accurate rifle I've ever owned, a true 1/4 inch .300 Win Mag I use primarily for Africa, a .300 WSM with CRF action that is my scabbard rifle for horseback hunts in griz country, a .280 AI that is my second most accurate rifle ever, and converted a .375 H&H to a .416...

A great hunt for a unique animal. Went a couple times with Greg King at Braeside Safaris in EC outside Tarkastad. Outstanding area for Vaalie. Greg's favorite animal to hunt. Happy to provide more info to anyone.
