I can't answer for this outfitter, but I borrowed a rifle in 2010 and brought my own rifle in 2011 on a similar Ireland hunt. I preferred my own rifle, but a lot depends on your before/after hunt plans.

how is the trophy quality in winter?

Great Hunt with Mike!

Hi Mario

You can only hunt trophy Red, Sika or Fallow stags between September 1st and December 31st in Ireland with the best months being October and November. The trophy quality is great at this time as its the rut and the stags are all fighting each other for hinds.

Kind regards
Mike

Hi Mike

As gsganzer said it does all depend on what your plans are before or after your hunt. I have three AR groups booked so far this year and they are all renting rifles. It makes it easier to travel without rifles if you are touring before/after your hunt.

It's only €160 to rent a rifle for a four day hunt and it costs that, if not more to get your rifle to Ireland.

Kind regards
