South Africa !

[MTA]

Well the day is finally upon me. I am sitting at DFW waiting for my first leg to ATL, then a 6 hour layover before the long haul from ATL to Johannesburg

I decided a few months back to leave my Sauer 100 .308 behind as I could not source enough bullets that it prefers. In its place I ended up taking my Sako S20 in .300WM. Stand by for a review of that rifle once I am back but anyways I developed a load Barnes 175gr LRX over 76 gr of H4831SC. Group sizes are .4-.675. I have a suppressor waiting for me on the other side so I decided to leave the omega 36 at home

I will be updating this thread as I am able. Figured yall would want to join along with me virtually

Don't bring back anything you have to go to the doctor for.

Be sure & get up & walk around the plane some on long leg flights. Hopefully customs is a breeze(Did you pay for customs bribes in?) When you wake up on the road to the property, just remember that's the side they do drive on. Are you going to be at any kind of altitude? If so just remember breathing can be difficult.

I always enjoyed a Whimpy Breakfast https://wimpy.co.za/classic-menu/breakfast/. Stopping for meat pies is a plus.

Well most of us are jealous. The ones that can’t go that is. Be safe and enjoy the trip of a lifetime

Looking forward to the updates. Good luck. Thanks for letting us live vicariously.

ATL was crowded and dirty. Every single restaurant was mobbed. Definitely not as nice as dfw

I am now on the next plane and about to push back from the gate. 14 hour flight time. Apple airtags showed rifle, ammo and checked bag made it on to the plane

Welcome to Africa. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the first smells you encounter.

I love all three trips I made, all for different reasons. I hope to make it to RSA at some point.

Good luck. Looking forward to updates

Please keep us up to date with every single thing. You're making a trip I've wanted to do all my life but never got around to, and now I'm too old and tied down. We'll be watching, so don't let us down.

MTA,

If you can, sleep for as long as you need when you get there.

Doing so cures (pretty much) jet lag.

I'll add my 'please keep us updated'.

 

[Leeukuil]

Welcome to RSA! Hope you don't get lost.
