I appreciate the imput guys, thanks. I know what you mean about the ride Ed. Going over the excitement keeps the ride tolerable, but with any kind of back pain or problems, I can imagine the issue. We were held up about 5 hours going over. We landed in Dakar to refuel. Sat on the ground for 2 hours before they decided they had no fuel for us. We took off and flew back out to sea, landing on Sol. That flight took an hour. It took an hour to refuel, and then we were an additional hour getting back over land. As of now, SAA is saying they are flying direct from the US to J'burg: 15 hours 45 minute flight. The flight home is the one I didn't enjoy. I was tired after 10 days of hunting. I would have been very content to lie in the floor and sleep, instead of sitting in those darn "school chairs." I have to say that was the only discomfort during the entire trip but it was well worth it. The way things are looking, I may be returning in March, ahead of my already booked June return. Opportunities seldom knock twice, so I may go twice next year if all goes well. I most likely will go with the CZ in .375 H&H sighted in at 100 yards. Shouldn't be a problem getting used to the point of impact at 50 yards out to 200 yards. Hopefully the holdover won't be too much at 200 but I'll see. Ed, I hope your back is doing much better. Anything that interferes with hunting can't be any fun. Good hunting, grayghost
