Don & all,
You are right, its not the same. However,I have not taken a firearm overseas in my last 6 trips. Too much hassle, expense and that gun sometimes is a boat anchor if you want to just play tourist after your hunt. Most firearms they give you are top shelf. Just ask. I have been handed rifles and shotguns I drool over in the advertising. Some places even let you use rifles and ammo for free, some ask you to pay for the ammo or buy it and leave what's left in the box. A few years back I learned (yes, the hard way) that taking a rifle and shotgun to a "hunter friendly" country ended up costing me more than the rifle had new and it's a nice rifle. Never again. More and more anti-gun, anti-hunter bull%#&* Just saying.
