Det är bara en tidsfråga innan du bokar en jakt med något företag härifrån. Jag är i johannesburg just nu och kommer jaga med tally ho om några dagar.

This is just the kind of advice I was after. Thanks a lot.

Permethrin is unavailable in my area because of silly regulations. What would you guys recommend I do for my upcoming safari in Limpopo? Is there any store in Johannesburg that has some good tick repellant that you can recommend?

Lots of people have recommended falfiles.com so I´ll certainly have a look. As for the FAL being THE rifle back in the day, that is a large part of why I´m getting one. My grandfather was a UN-peacekeeper in the Congo in the 60`s. He and his friends prefered fals that they accuired in different...

That's the first thing I read when I looked into swapping the stock. Seems to be good reason for it.

My l1a1 is surplused directly from the UK (via Italy) so it's all orginal and not one of those parts kit hodge podge things that you have to do in the US. It's been refurbished multiple times by the British so it has the polymer furniture but since it was made very early I'd love to get a...

They don't have any unfortunately

Sorry for the misunderstanding but the kind of furniture I'm after is a stock, handguard and pistol grip for my bsa made L1A1 rifle and not the living room kind of furniture. I must however admit that the furniture you posted looks very nice. Thank you for your great reply.

As the title says I would like to buy a set of wood furniture for my L1A1 fal. I´ve looked all over the internet but haven´t found a seller that wants to ship it to me here in Sweden. If anyone here has a complete set or just some pieces and would be willing to send them to Sweden I will gladly...

I'm 19 and have always known them as long johns so I think it has more to do with your area than your age.

They have both a 375 and 458 listed in this catalogue found on their website. I don't know if they're sold in the US though.

I'm not familiar with their pricing and availability in the US but the Zastavas in 375hh and 458 win mag should be pretty competitive on price.

Not yet but I will in April and so far the booking process regarding the gun has gone very smooth at least.

Klm is the only airline servicing my tiny local airport 10 min from home so most of my flying has been done with them. My father travels a lot with work and uses them a lot as well and we're both very happy with them and their customer support when stuff happens. We used them to travel to...

I don´t really have a need for anything bigger than a 308 in all honesty so this theoretical project would just be to see how much you can do with a Tikka action. I have a 9.3x62 and a 458 Lott so the 416 would fit nicely in between even though I have no need for any of those rifles. Sakos in...

I've never had any issues regarding feeding or breakage with the oem plastic mags and bottom metal but I've managed to unintentionally release the magazine due to the location of the release which is why I switched to an aics bottom metal where the mag release is behind the mag and less exposed.

Because I grew up with a Tikka and really like them but I'll admit that your suggestion would be the more logical and simple way to go.

Getting a bottom metal that uses aics-magazines would solve a lot of these potential problems. 300 win mag aics mags should work pretty well with 416 ruger, you might have to bend out the lips a tiny bit to work better with the fatter case but that should be very easy. I´d personally really like...

I've thought about the gun all day and come to the conclusion that I really shouldn't buy it and save the money for my upcoming safari in April. I'm a relatively broke 19 yo so it's still a considerable amount of money for me even if it's definetly a very good deal. Can't seem to insert a...

Guess I'll have buy it then. With a bit of luck I'll go look at it during the weekend

I've found a pre-64 model 70 in 375 hh for sale. The barrel has been shortened to 52cm (20.5in) and fitted with recknagel sights and a slingmount. The receiver is fitted with what looks like recknagel swing mounts as well and the stock is glass bedded. Other than that everything looks to be oem...

I got a grs stock and a can when I was young and in a similar situation. Depending on your budget a grs stock is a great way to get a well fitting stock without going the custom route. It looks disgusting but If you're going to ruin the looks by using a can you might aswell go all the way. I'm...

I have nothing of value to ad to the discussion but I must say that the gentleman with the hat in the first two pictures looks very handsome

All of my older relatives who hunted had considerable hearing damage from never using ear pro so I'm extremely careful and always use it, even when hunting with a suppressor. In your case where you already have some damage I wouldn't risk it and use some just in case. IMO the discomfort from...

My plan is to start studying at university in August so I'll probably not be able to afford another safari for the next couple of years. Otherwise I'd definitely do that

With all the uncertainties it seems that buying a hide at the airport is the safest option. Guess I'll save the trophies for when I return in a couple of years with a proper budget.

I´ve contacted the relevant Swedish authority and gotten this as an answer: Finished items For finished items, however, there are no infection protection restrictions in the form of e.g. requirements for a veterinary health certificate. The same applies to certain hunting trophies and other...

I will go on my first hunting safari ever in April and will mainly hunt cull animals but I would like to bring home one trophy to remember my trip. I am however on a somewhat tight budget and the cost of preparing and shipping the trophy, most likely a euro mounted Impala, to me here in Sweden...

That's why I'm looking into this now. I've just confirmed the dates with my ph

I´ve decided to go on my first safari which will take place in the Limpopo province of SA in late April. Since I live and hunt in Sweden I don´t own any boots that are appropriate for this climate so I need some recomendations from all the knowledgeble people here. I want something with a high...

Those are all valid points and i´m definetly open to only doing a cull hunt. The problem with delaying it is that I don´t know how my schedule will look once i start studying so if it is possible I would like to do it before that.

I am looking for a hunt to take place sometime before August 2024 when I will start studying at university. I would like to spend around 3.5k usd on the hunt itself (excluding tips, taxidermy, flights etc.) and for that amount i want to hunt as many different species as possible and preferably...

It looked like a one piece bolt when i shot it and they did not say anything else so I assume it is.

I attended Elmia Game Fair in Sweden today where the Sako 90 was shown. I shot both the Quest and the Peak and they are very nice rifles. The actions were some of the smoothest i've ever felt despite being brand new and they just felt very solid and the feeding as well as the ejection was...

I will attend elmia game fair in Sweden next week where sako has said that they will show it. I'll try to take some pictures to post here. Any suggestions for specific things you want to see or questions I should ask them are gladly received.

That sounds perfect. There are no issues with bringing them into Sweden but I would've thought that itar would be an issue but my knowledge on those regulations is pretty much limited to the defense industry parts and not so much hunting parts.

I live in Sweden and have access to a smaller variety of bullets than the Americans have. I have found some very specific bullets, with no equivalent to be found in the EU, that are made and sold by an American company. A friend of mine that's a US citizen, if that matters, will be visiting...

I've contacted the smith and will wait for his response before I talk to bad about him but I thank you all for your input.

I´ll start this thread by prefacing that this rifle is my first big bore and it´s my first time reloading a straight-walled caliber. The rifle is a Brno 602 rechambered to 458 Lott from a 458 Win Mag. I recently made some very weak handloads (400 gr @ 500 ms) with cheap H&N bullets and N32C...

I will start with a bit of context. I am 18 years old and was born in Sweden where I still live. I have always loved hunting and has had a deep fascination with Africa ever since i visited Tanzania for a photo safari when I was 6. In June I will be finished with the equivalent of high school and...

If you are still interested in a stock I should be able to find one for you easily here in Sweden and ship it to you.

In honor of Cal Pappas- NKWE SAFARI

If anyone who lives in the EU has some 458 Lott brass that they'd like to sell I'd be interested. I need to feed my Brno 602 but I'm still in school so the budget isn't infinite.
