I am sitting in Johannesburg airport having had a great two weeks hunting 3 hours drive out of Port Elizabeth. Brought a Sauer 404 in 300 win mag in Peli case with moderator on show in the case no problem bringing it in or taking it out. This same “scare story “ was on one of the U.K. forums I am not sure it’s based on any facts, mods are legal in SA, U.K. do not check for your mod just your rifle serial number same in both Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth rifle and serial number check only. Hope this helps
Not sure about the cost but if you are considering buying one while there I would caution you to do your research before doing so. Aside from the potential legalities which I have no insight on there are a few potential technical gotchas. Most countries other than the US use metric threads. What cartridges are supported is also a consideration. They will have some upper limit on what maximum pressure they can withstand. Some require adapters and may not support a direct thread mount. In any case good luck.
I travelled in 2017 with one to rsa Zero problems. I had all the forms but no one ever wanted to see them. I had the federal form and the tax form but didn’t put it on the 4457.
Because of some clients having to move their dates I have 2 prime time slots open if anyone is interested to do a hunt
5-15 May
or 5-15 June is open!
shoot me a message for a good deal!
