Good day Ladies and Gents,

I live in France and would like to go to Africa for hunting. Now, the question I have is: Can I go and hunt with my own rifle ? I was surfing on the net desperately trying to find any international regulations regarding transportation and use of hunting rifles but so far, my results are not very impressive...

So, yeah, any help regarding this matter from you folks, will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Regards.
 
Depends on which country you are interested in going to.
Check what is required to leave France with your gun and get it back in first of all.
There is a host of information on this web site about particular countries.
If it is South Africa just do a search for SAPS forms.
 
Should not be any problem, I have met french hunters at the SAPS (South African Police) office in Johannesbourgh Airport doing the paperwork for the temporary import of their firearms.
 
Thanks guys for your help. Very useful stuff.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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
Mike
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?
