I would have liked to take my own rifles to Africa, but decided to use the ph,s and skip any problems that could have came up in transit(loss-damage-laws), I used his .375H&H-7mm mag-.243 and killed what I hunted on six hunting trips. we in the USA don,t know how good we have it as we can go to a local gunshop and buy what ammo-reloading supplies and firearms(federal form& nic,s check for firearms 20 minutes) we want and walk out with it. in pa. you can buy-sell person to person with out any paper(if you want) as long as both parties are not prohibed from owning a firearm. I own many firearms pistols-revolvers-shotguns-rifles-black powder arms and load for 95 precent of them. and have a 1000 yard range 4.5 miles from my house and am a life member there.
