The Zebra was a stallion. I made a little joke. Pieter got it.
Guess you didn't.

Guess you didn't. From what I can see, sure doesn't look like a male to me. And who shoots male zebras anyway? I mean, from a trophy standpoint?

I plan on flying to my destination (Tanzania) via the Netherlands, w/o a stop in South Africa. Just make sure what the Netherlands think of rifles passing through their country. A long time ago someone said something about them being uneasy with firearms. I have no idea about what they think these days though. You can even bring 3 firearms to South Africa, problem mainly is with the airlines I believe who prefer only 2. Enjoy your trip! Thanks for the advice, but we're only changing planes there with a 4-5 hour layover between flights. Our PH/outfitter recommends KLM and he's had no problems with them over the years, so we should be okay.

If you stop in Holland, you MUST obtain a permit BEFORE you leave on your trip or they will take your guns in Amsterdam. Contact any of the travel agents mentioned here for the correct procedure prior to departure.

Jorge your right, traveling with firearm through airports in Europe better go through Germany, France, Swiss than trough England or Holland...

Pretty much the only time the Sako is used, is when a client wants to borrow it while hunting. very interesting. is it a controlled feed? thats the only thing i haven't discovered. I saw them in the store and read about them, aka: afraid to pick one up because then there is that feeling of "take me home" and i get afraid of that sometimes at &1800+ then mounts and scope  i really want to hunt Africa sometime

Many Thanks to all of you for the advise. It appears like both the CZ-550 and M-70 are about as good from all the opinions. A store close by already has the CZ for $1030.00 while I would have to special order the Model-70 for about $1300.00 I have a CZ 550 .375 H&H and it has performed well for the 45 rounds I have shot at rocks and paper. Feeds well and the set trigger is actully pretty nice. It was bedded by CZ custom shop and had cross bolts installed while there. Never had a scope on it. If your interested in it send me a PM , I'll make ya a deal.

Yup, I had that problem too. Picked it up, brought it home, and now my CZ is for sale.
