Same caliber rifles

I know RSA prohibits importing 2 rifles of the same caliber. In my previous trips I brought a 30/06 and an 8 mm magnum figuring both would be good non-dangerous game cartridges. Ammo for the30/06 is found everywhere and even if my 8mm mag ammo was lost ,the old/06 would be more than adequate.
I have recently acquired 2 Model 70s in 7x57 and would like to take both to RSA for strictly sentimental reasons. Is there any way around this regulation? Both barrels are both stamped 7x57 Or 7mm Mauser. Thanks in advance, Jerry Hoover

I understand some genius in South Africa just realized that if one brings two rifles of the same caliber, he can start a war!!

Fascinating how stupidity can attain such importance in some countries!
