I used a Blaser R8 with a 30-06 barrel on plains game with good results. Had some recovered bullets from Kudu, Wildebeest. The recovered bullets were from quartering shots. These are 165 gr bullets at a published 2,800 fps.

That makes sense to me. However if you go on the airlines websites their rules may vary from the TSA. This is from Delta. This might be open to interpretation. I would not want to be in line and have to come up with a few locks. The case must completely secure the firearm from being...

I totally agree. On my last outward bound international flight, I had Delta agents telling me I had to send my Ammo in a separate locked case from with my clothes. I had planned to fly from ATL with my gun case and a clothing bag containing the ammo. I was prepared to do that because I was...

All interpreted by functional illiterates. LOL

I just got back and shot a 43" buffalo with a 270 grain Hammer bullet. It was a head on shot at 80 yards. Destroyed lungs. One initial shot plus one insurance shot. Bullets not found. The PH wanted to know what bullet it was. Don't know if it is any better than similar type bullet. It is...

The Pelican 1200 is the small yellow plastic box and went by itself. The blue Osprey is not a standard duffel bag and has a flat surface.

I was ready to separate everything when I hit Johannesburg, just surprised at having it happen in ATL. I did not argue, felt it with be useless. In our current times, if an imbecile is offended a person could get into big trouble. This is my checked luggage with my forlorn Pelican 1200 ammo...

I flew out of Atlanta on 18 May to Johannesburg. I declared my guns and said my luggage had a locked case with ammunition--under 10 pounds. They proceeded to say the ammunition had to fly as a separate piece of luggage. The ammunition was given its own pink sheet, own Delta tracking label and...

I have a Strasser in 375 Ruger. I am taking my Blaser in May to Africa.

I I am about 20 miles east--almost in Georgia.

Do Do you still live in the Auburn area?

I assume you would want to carry all the guns in one case. If you plan on going back to South Africa and using one gun case, don't get her a gun of the same caliber you are bringing. There is a limit of one gun per caliber. I believe the all guns in a case should belong to one individual and I...

As far as conventions, I am close to Atlanta at about 1.5 hours to anywhere in the city and 5 hours from Nashville. I will go to both.

According to Blaser USA‘s Kevin Wistner, there are two locations that can thread barrels in the US without potentially voiding the barrel’s warranty. The places are Mag-na-port and Tip Burns in Canyon Lake, TX (210) 508-7961. I went with Tip and found him easy to work with and had an...
