hi all,
probably a simple question but we are traveling to SA and i'm taking a 300WSM and 30-06. (left handed) the question..... can i carry both in the same case under my name. everwhere i see it says no two guns of the same Caliber. To my mind they are both 30 caliber (reloader in me) and different gauges.. will i have any trouble.? can anybody shed a little light on this for me.

thanks, PALefty
 
Should be no issue...just remember which baggage claim tickets belongs to the rifle case...
and which one for the Ammo...

have a great time...
 
Look forward to the hunt report.

Just try and put that 300 WSM into that 3006 and see how it goes for you.
The SAPS will know the difference. :)
 
It is my understanding that they actually mean Cartridge and not caliber.
 
With the wording I have wondered the same thing.

Shoot Anne at Hunter Support an email and I am sure she will have a definitive answer for you. They have a gun import and permitting service that is perfect for the first time hunter or anyone with a short layover in Joberg.

SAPS will look at the cartridge designation. Whatever is stamped on your barrel.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
