well in Canada i would be suprized to find a farm house that doesnt have a winchester or marlin 30-30 and a old bolt 303 lee enfield army rifle. 30-30 is old but gold they take plenty of deer in the bush and black bear even moose up in Sask and Alberta
yes you right, they have killed more deer in north america, some people have them for deer in the uk ,but some of our police firearms dept don/t like giving them for deer ,i love to have a 30/30 for deer ,nice rifle atvb steveYep...it is often said the 30 30 has killed more deer in North America than any other caliber. Granted it does have it's weaknesses but it was the first smokeless powder ammunition available to the American public in the late 1800s.
The weapons have to be stored in an approved gun cabinet
Just a small correction John:-
Please show me where in the UK law it says this?
Also can you honestly say what I put in my previous reply is wrong? Or are you saying that the FEO's really do know their stuff and apply the laws and regulations as they are written?
As for the 30-30 Winchester have I got that wrong? Would it be legal in Scotland? Could I honestly take my 30-30 Medwell up to Scotland stalking and not expect problems with it being accepted as legal?
I look forwards to you reply.
UTGrad,
what would be more popular in the states, the marlin with pistol grip or the straight grip?
Had been approached by a US Custom Gunmaker who wanted composites stock parts for
the straight grip version. Wouldn't the pistol grip version be the larger market?
Drove past Nashville years ago, lovely country.
