    Hello,

    Hello, I am new here, so please forgive any questioning I might have that may be unrelated! We are from Norman, OK but living in Midland, TX until we move to S. Africa (Limpopo) this coming September. Would like to take a firearm or bow, but not certain the permitting guidelines for long term residence. I am going on a business visa for 3-5 years. My wife/kids on long term visitors visas. I am a bit lost here in knowing where to turn. I would like to take a 30-30 rifle and compound bow, but there may need to be some kind of a extension to the initial 520 permit form. I am hesitant on even taking anything because I don't have an outfitter to help with all this. Thanks! - James

    Welcome, if I was living there long term I would bring a 375 H&H and something like 30-06 that could be loaded up or down depending on what you are hunting.

    Welcome! I am also currently stationed in Midland, but unfortunately no moves to South Africa in my future. Best of luck, I'm sure Henry w/ RiflePermits will get you sorted out.

    Hi what you going to be doing in SA? ....and depending on animals you planning to hunt would go for something bigger than a 30-30.....not sure how it works in SA but if you allowed to on your permit buy something when you get.there. ....predictably some will say :D....a nice 9.3x62 sounds good to me
