Hello AH Members,
I am new to hunting Africa but not to hunting. I have my first trip booked for July 2015 for Namibia and the Caprivi Strip. I love my Blaser S2 (.470 NE, 9.3x74R & .30-06) and R8 (.500 Jeffrey, .375H&H and .300WM). I'll likely take my R8 for this safari.

I enjoy collecting and shooting big bore rifles. I just received my Martini Gunmakers designed HEYM Express Rifle in .404 Jeffrey and I am looking forward to giving this good run at the range. Here is the link to check out Ralf`s work:

Martini Gunmakers - Custom Craftsmanship

Also, currently pondering an acquisition of the Rigby double square bridge mauser in the "Big Game" model chambered in .416 Rigby, now that they are under the same umbrella as Blaser, Mauser and Sauer!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
