They are good rifles KimE!
I hesitated once and lost out also.
Not quite the ballistic equivalent of 308, more like 300 Savage it makes for a flatish 200yarder that comes up like a shotgun and sits there...
I would have thought this is the perfect rifle for the majority of SD members. Even without a rail.

The way I read it is that a 30- 30 rifle is class 2 but certain ammo would make it class 1. It would be trying to convince the police that the 30- 30 rifle is class 1. I'm not sure the hassle with the police outways the benefit of having a class 1 .
I googled the Boar buster but can't see anyone selling them in Sweden.
Its not the police who decides the legal limit its Naturvårdsverket, you can load a short barrel 6,5*55 with a 140gr Nosler partition and its probably a class2 cartridge, load a 156gr Alaska and its class1 put a fmj in it and its class3.
Skytteservice Ängelholm sells Boarbusters and other Pedersoli rifles.

There was an original Model 71 for sale at the last gun show I went to . It was in incredibly good shape , had a vintage Lyman aperture rear sight ................. and a price tag to match . It sold in less than an hour for $ 3,500 CDN . People are still willing to pay for a quality lever action . The Miruko manufactured Browning Model 71's are just as nice IMHO , and sell for about a thousand dollars less . I can't even remember the last time I saw a 7-30 Waters chambered 94 . It's too bad it didn't catch on , it was a very useful cartridge .

Model 71 is a wonderful rifle, long tang/short tang, both are great. Miroku did well with their interpretation. They made a great 1885 Hi Wall as well.
A German friend had his drilling rechambered in Ferlach for 7-30 Waters and used it to great effect in the Scotland. Very nice round indeed. He sold the rifle to the US and gave me his cases, dies and reloading data - only problem is I can't bring myself to shoot my unfired M94 in that calibre. She is such a beauty.

You are right. My bad I've missed the changes that have been made.
Skytteservice Ängelholm website must be the most crap website for any gun shop in Sweden . I've looked at it a few times over the years . I don't know if it's a proper shop or a man operating out of his basement.
I have seen Valmets 12g/25-35 for sale but they are called 6,5*52r, Some Husqvarna single shot rifles also show up some times.Or the 25-35, that would of done everything over here!

My favorite gun shop. Bought quite a bit from them and nearly always get a discount. Last time I was in there they had several lever actions on the shelf . They have many thousands of guns in stock. Plus about 25 tons of ammo and normally a good selection of reloading stuff.Awesome, £80!! Wow
