We went down this past spring. Due to the current gov't, we couldn't get a straight answer on how to import our own guns, and it was highly recommended by the outfitter to just rent. Research on other forums suggested the same.
That ruling power has since changed ( I think it had actually changed between the time we booked and when we actually went), and some travellers are now saying Argentina is once again firearms freindly!
On a different note, the previous poster brought up a valid point of discussion, in that the shooting gets so hot and heavy, it is very hard on a gun. These guys can literally wear out a gun each season, due to the number of rounds they go through. It is not hard for a shooter to shoot a few cases of shells per day, and the dove shooting there is basically non-regulated. They are pests in the field that they are trying to eradicate (unsuccessfully). We went down with our group in the "slow" season( our primary goal was red stag and misc big game). We only saw tens of thousands of doves, instead of the customary millions!
