    Remember: It's always the dead ones that bite. In my book: No matter how dead reptiles look they ain't dead until all that's left is a skeleton.

    Do you wear your expensive watch to South Africa?

    My Rolex Submariner is my daily watch since 1986. Taking it on and off for airport security scans and the like is a pain. I try and travel as a "low value" target. I either wear a Marathon wrist watch (lightweight nylon case & cloth strap) or carry an old Russian mechanical pocket watch for all...

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    I disagree with your assumption on several levels. First, my direct correspondence with TSA where TSA clearly and unambiguously stated TSA locks are not to be used on firearms. Second, the plain language of the law is clear that only the passenger may have the key. Third, no legislator is going...

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    I just used the link to the CFR in the recent post re: the web site highlight saying you can use TSA locks on gun cases. Funny, their own link takes you to the site (and the law) that specifically says only the passenger can have the key. So, I guess if there is any moral here it is that TSA...

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    FWIW: I asked TSA the question about TSA or non-TSA locks direct to TSA and their reply e-mail was specific - only the owner must have the key (no TSA locks). I saw the web site answer in this thread but the web site does not supercede the law. I'd rather deal with my plan than risk a TSA agent...

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    Yeah, a case that can't lock does not ship. That's why I use one of those gun cases that looks like a golf case for my luggage. If my gun case is disabled and can't be loaded I'm able to stuff the gun in my other hard side gun case luggage...and I pack a spare tumbler lock for that, too. I've...

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    I can never figure out why folks use TSA locks. Take a look at CFR 1540.111 which says: "(iv) The container in which it is carried is locked, and only the passenger retains the key or combination." So, I read that as no TSA locks. I carry a copy of that rule (and the rule that prohibits labeling...

    Custom .416 Rigby CZ For Sale

    I've put about 200 rounds through it - give or take. I shot mostly Hornady stuff through it, some Federal and I had one box of custom loaded rounds from some custom loading place out west. Frankly, I can't remember the last time I shot this gun but I'd bet I've not shot it in 3 or so years...

    Custom .416 Rigby CZ For Sale

    I was going to play around with reloading some 350 grain ballistic tipped boat tail TSX for this gun but just never got around to doing so. I'm not big into reloading so ... . The TSX needs to be at or above 1700 fps to work (at least according to the factory rep) and getting that at normal...

    Custom .416 Rigby CZ For Sale

    Funny you should ask that. I, too, wondered if sawing off 4 - 5 inches of bbl would make a big difference I did some web searching and ran into a discussion with one experienced hunter who said something to the effect (and I'm paraphrasing here) that he shortened his .416 Rigby barrel and the...

    For Sale - Antonio Zoli Double Rifle - 9.3x74R O/U

    $2895.00. I understand the model to be a Ritmo. Rifle only (no case, no scope and no mount). I spoke with the Zoli guys at the SCI convention in Las Vegas and they believe it was made shortly before the Ritmo model was discontinued for new model production (early 1970's perhaps). Like new...

    Shooting Sticks...

    African Sporting Creations (ASC) sells a variety of sticks. Being 6-feet 4-inches tall size 52 jacket guy I went with their premium sticks that break down to allow use sitting if you desire. Being held together with pins and screws and somewhat gimpy I wanted a set of tall sticks that doubled as...

    Zoli 9.3 x 74

    Thanks. It is indeed an over under 9.3 x 74. I spoke with Zoli folks at SCI convention but had not planned on selling it at that time. I have only seen one other listed on line. I will get a price and post it on the sale thread by this weekend.

    Zoli 9.3 x 74

    I'm having a heck of a time pricing my Zoli for sale. Any input on general values or tips to set a value would be appreciated. I bought it used but it is like new. I believe it is an older model called Ritmo. Shoots nice but does not quite fit me - so out it goes to a good home to be replaced by...
