Namibia
I have hunted Namibia quite a bit with bolt guns but yesterday bought a Springfield scout. Sure would make a nice saddle rifle.but is it legal to take one over for hunting. Probably need to ask my PH Johnny Sickerling
 
I had a friend who took over an old Remington Model 8, and I have seen Browning's used in Namibia. But a Springfield Scout would I'm sure be considered a violation of their no military rule.
 
Yes it does look military so far I get along with the guys in the little room at the airport, wouldn't want to ruin that. Going back in October for three months mainly just to help on the ranch with the cows. Although the black Comanchies have to eat a few zebra and gemsbuck, a nice 60 inch kudu wouldn't go unnoticed either.
 
Send pictures of that Kudu.
 
I will when I get him. I do have a nice 55 inch tips point out. Johnny saw a 60 incher recently. Told him to tie it to a waitabit tree. I'll come get him . I'll try and figure out how to post some of my pictures.
 
As far as the Semi-auto rifles non military are they legal I've never hunted Namibia hope to hunt there one day with Jerome, Looked at his Family's place. Nice!
 
Would a Springfield scout be military? If I put it in a saddle scabbard and just showed the serial number I might get by.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
