Ok, my trip is 27 days, 7 hunting. Wife and child along for the ride. $635 (including gun permit) for the overnight at Africa Sky that I would not have needed if no gun to deal with. Plus $15 a day storage, another $300. Plus the airline fee of 100 pounds for the transfer. And of course the 1 hour check to deal with airline paper work. And the three $75 dollar charges from the travel agent to book my trip, so I would not have the hassle of flying with a gun but I had to deal with BA myself. So yes I think I could buy another nice rifle, maybe not another SAKO and a lot less hassle.
So next time you want to say bad advice, you might think before you put your foot in your mouth. I hope that you have been enlightened. That's $1,290 USD.
Now, let's say it was just me and hunting only no sight seeing. Well with over night at Africa Sky, airline charge and agent fee, that $500 USD. While that won't buy me a nice rifle it will buy me another gun, which is what I said. Nice pistol, maybe.
Sorry for the typos, using iPhone here in Cape Town, big thumbs on a little device.
