Has anyone used a Lever action in SA? I was planning to take a BLR. Every thing I have read is no auto or semi auto or military arms then I read over on African hunting Levers and pumps are not allowed. any advice would be appriciated.

Can't imagine that you will have any problems, a couple of my mates own and hunt with lever actions. Semi autos can be legally owned but is illegal to hunt with in SA.

Wife used my Browning BLR 7/08 in Namibia 2000. Her gemsbok mounted next to mine. Worked great.
Better tomorrows!

Thats the exact gun I'm wanting to take.

No problem bringing a levergun into SA.

I took two takedown BLRs to South Africa ( Eastern Cape)last summer, a .308 & a .375 Ruger (rebarrelled from .300 Win. mag). My wife & I had no problems @customs. Have a good hunt!

Many hunters have and use lever actions in SA ,among them Dannie van Graan .You must remember him because a leopard inccident with one of his guides .He uses a marlin 4570 for almost everything .
