[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2030138, member: 8907"] Rifle imports are a challenge. It's good to hear your M70 in Portugal found a good home in Australia! Those M70 CRF rifles make really popular options for African Safaris. You have your share of tough critters in Australia too! I've known a few guys that took some tough game in the outback over there. Unfortunately, I've had some setbacks on the Safari front. After a shoulder rebuild, a hard-hitting 470NE double isn't really viable anymore, nor any of my big boomer bolt actions. Add a job layoff and the trophy fees for the big animals, not to mention the big 5, are out of reach right now. My little 7 Mauser or the 6.5x55 (6.5 Swede) and some smaller plains game are still a post-COVID dream. Both of those calibers are drastically underestimated and often overlooked by people in the USA chasing the latest boutique cartridges (Noslers, Ruger Compact Magnums, ...) that are all the rage on forums and in the gun magazines selling print ads and copy space these days.
