My pa is planning for a 2-person trip to Namibia,and I recently bought a cal.338 Win Mag Benelli R1.I've been to RSA and I know they forbid autoloaders,but some article says that semiauto rifle with magazine capacity not more than 5 round may enter Namibia for hunting use,so dose anyone know about the current firearm law for semiautos in Namibia?

Whether it’s potentially legal or not, you are asking for a problem you don’t need. The safari club information sheet on Namibia says semi-auto rifles are not legal. Also, most people fly to Namibia through Johannesburg. You typically need to overnight there and get a rifle permit still.

Seems I made a bad idea choosing a semiauto when looking for a .338 hunting rifle.Should bought a Winchester bolt instead...

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
