[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1028172, member: 35183"] While it is POSSIBLE to bring a rifle to the US for a hunt, it would be likely far more expensive than simply using the rifle of a guide. I am sure there is a lot of paperwork to fill out and fees to be paid for the importation and re-export of weapons from the US. Regardless of how the US is portrayed in the media, there are many laws, both Federal and state and usually under either law it is not possible for non US citizens to acquire weapons in the US. Washington state just passed a law that essentially precludes loaning a weapon from someone else, even for target practice. What is legal in one state can land you in prison in the one next to it. In addition to the above, the airlines and many EU countries prohibit the transport of rifles which are chambered in any cartridge which may have been used by the military at some point in time. So before making plans, please investigate the laws of your own country, any country you may transit through, the destination you may fly to in the US (watch out for IL, any of the east coat states, California and now Washington) DC is out of the question, since you need a permit to even possess a cartridge, let alone a rifle... Consider your destination, and whether the operator could let you have the use of some of their weapons and ammo. [/QUOTE]
