    New policy for Qatar started as of March 2025 for firearms?

    I’m en route to JNB via Doha, aboard Qatar Airlines. I started my trip on Alaska Airlines to Seattle then transferred onto Qatar Airways. No problem with flying with my firearms. The only potential issue was that Alaska Airlines agent at Anchorage airport tagged my rifle case and the bag...

    ZIMBABWE: 10 Day Non-Trophy Buffalo Hunt

    Congratulations on your fantastic hunt, @Aussie_Hunter. As I was reading your hunt report, it felt like watching one of those informercials. "Not one, not two...wait there is more!!" I certainly didn't expect 3 buffaloes in the books. Well done Aussie_Hunter.

    450 NE Powder Reloading

    My VC 450 NE is regulated with 99 grains of H4831 and H4831SC and am quite happy with it. But I will have to try RL 15 this summer just to compare the recoil.

    May in Germany

    In May roe deer season should be open in Germany. If your visit coincides with the open season then you could consider spending a day or just an evening out hunting with a guide.

    450 NE 3 1/4 stick to factory or load for it

    For those who use Re15 or 15.5, how many grains for each powder do you use for reloading 450 NE 3 1/4” using 480 gn bullets? I use 99.0 grains of H4831 with great regulation on my VC. I wouldn’t mind trying out Re15 to see I can feel any reduction in recoil.

    Blaser R8 Barrel Storage

    I installed a magnetic tool bar used for tool storage on the back wall of my gun safe. I simply store extra barrels attached vertically to the magnetic tool bar.
