Hey Everyone,

I have been in the midst of trying to import 3 rifles from a relative in South Africa into the United States. I am personally an FFL and have all the permitting and paper work completed on the US end but have been struggling with my South Africa local exporter in getting the ball rolling. And when I say struggling, lets just say its coming up on 2 years of trying to get them to move on their end.

Has anyone here had to go through this process before and have used an exporter in South Africa that they can recommend? Will be a pain for me as i will have to redo all the paper work but at this point it seems the current exporter I am utilizing is a lost cause...

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.
