It is a lot more complicated than simply mailing a rifle to a license holder in the U.S.In order for any rifle to be imported into the U.S. the proper paperwork must still be filled out and the permit obtained.Myself and a few friends used to hunt in the states on a regular basis but now avoid taking guns across the border at all as the paperwork is very slow and you can never be sure it will be approved in time.Otis has already stated that a friend of his ran into this very problem recently.The easiest solutions are to borrow a gun in the states or if you want to use your own gun hunt in canada.
