I would recommend a booking agent to help you sort through the paperwork involved now with taking guns to Argentina. We I first started going (1995 or so) it was simple in and out procedure at the Cordoba airport. It has become more complicated.
Now one has to visit an Argentine consulate in USA to register your guns and also the officials in Santiago, Chili want to look at all the guns even though the guns are in a transit baggage situation.
Some of this may have changed but again ask your agent.
I've shot probably 8 times there mostly with Miles & Miles and once with Los Chanares, both operate in the Cordoba area. Drives to the field are very short with Los Chanares 15 minutes max and 20 to 45 minutes with M&M. Both outfits have very nice lodges. M&Ms rent guns were not very good but that didn't affect me. I think they have improved their rentals.
We have always taken the time and additional expense of arranging a trip for one day to shoot pigeons, lots of fun and I would highly recommend doing that.
Also, the 28 gauge is the proper gun for doves and it will also hammer pigeons with no problem. You'll still need a pad on the 28 and/or a strap on pad depending on how much you want to shoot.
Its a fun trip, but if I were to go again I would consider Bolivia and Uruguay because of gun import rules in Argentina.
If going to Argentina I would take an extra day going down and spend the first night in BA for dinner and recovery at the Avelar Palace and then travel to the shooting area the next day.
Hope all this helps.
