Mike/Newguy,

Thanks for your advice. I'll be contacting Optima asap. Since I have to go through Jo'burg twice, they can help me going & coming. I will also look into insuring the rifles for the trip. I'd hate to lose them, but if they're insured, and they get lost on the way home, I could live with it. Any additional advice would be most welcome. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Lefty
