Bird hunting in Egypt faded to only very expensive private clubs a few years back when the bird flu hit. I was fortunate to get in two good trips before this happened. There are rumors of a guy offering hunts in the fayoum oasis again but he is not communicating regularly so i don't know how serious he is. Egypt actually now has a CITES quota on croc but I think it is being used for the commercial leather industry. I have fished on the lake and those crocs are very careful. I have seen two that probably measured around 10-11 feet and they stayed well out of easy rifle range and disappeared. I spent a good portion of time in chest deep water trying to cast to the best spot.....maybe I am stupid, but i also took quick baths. Also recall that the lake is HUGE. If someone wanted a really great croc, I think booking 14 days is probably.necessary. Legal hunting is....let's just say....a work in progress and has been for a few years. The revolution obviously delayed things substantially. I trust though that someday I will have an Ibex in my sights.

As for the rifle I have no more info. 4500 is a bit steep for that MS......but somewhere there is a student of history who would pay that and perhaps a good bit more.

JMHO
