I have a question in regard to T. Carr's Tips and Packing list (Thanks, T. Carr, it's a big help!).

Under paragraph H in the list, the last sentence is: "South Africa does not allow the import of two rifles of the same caliber."

My Father and I are going to South Africa this August and both of us are taking our own 30-06 which will be in one rifle case. However, my Father and I have a separate Form 4457 that details which rifle belongs to whom (His 4457 = his rifle; my 4457 = my rifle).

After reading the post, I'm still confused. My Father and I will be okay in South Africa with two rifles of the same caliber in one rifle case and have our own separate 4457, correct?

Yes you'd be OK.

Cutter,

Welcome to the Forum.

Gentlemen,

I wonder who makes all these silly rules?

Yep, you'll be fine.
