If I had an outfitting business outside of the U.S. and wanted U.S. hunters to use my service I would make sure that I had a couple of very good quality hunting rifles available to rent. This is becoming much more common in Africa due to the ever increasing problems associated with international travel with firearms. Some African outfitters offer very high quality rifles equipped with expensive scopes available at low cost. It would not surprise me to see Canadian outfitters following suit.

I plan to travel to Africa one more time with my own rifles. After that I will probably save myself the hassle and rent from the outfitter.
