RIFLE HUNTING
First and foremost, you need to know that airlines require that firearms and ammunition be checked thoroughly. Firearms should be securely cased and unloaded, with the ammunition in a separate container. You must advise the commercial airlines that you are travelling with firearms and ammunition. Since each airline has strict restrictions regarding rifles and ammunitions. Please check with the appropriate airline as to their particular regulations at least several weeks before your flight. We require that 270, 300 or 308 calibers are sufficent for the hunts we organise. Minimum 50mm lenses and possibly largest scope available. You must bring your own rifle and 50 rounds for it. Gun rental is not allowed in Türkiye. Bear in mind that max. range to shoot at the game is 500 meters.
