    Traveling With Your Own Rifle to Europe; Bad Idea or Terrible Idea?

    I wrote "with the possible exception of UK" because I don't know the recent applicable British law and regulations.

    Traveling With Your Own Rifle to Europe; Bad Idea or Terrible Idea?

    All the mentioned countries, with the possible exception of U.K. welcome hunting tourists but, maybe they are not be happy to have an armed visitor not locally spending any money.

    Use your .458 for buffalo and borrow a 7x57 or a .30-06 or whatever the PH has for leopard. Save your expensive ammo and your shoulder bones for another day.

    Which gun system to bring back ?

    Reborn old inventions. 1. Steyr Mannlicher resurrected the rotary magazine in the 80s-90s, but the plastic they used instead of good old steel was programmed to break down within a couple of years. 2. In the late '50s, when Rheinmetall started the production of the MG3, i.e. the MG52 in 7,62...

    I suggest to avoid Namibia for a few months, one year maybe. Let the Namibian government enjoy itself without our money
