DNR clarifies rifles allowed-and it's great!

[tyrajam]

Anything firing a .243 or a .308 caliber bullet is legal. Nice!

Very pleasantly surprised at their clarification.

The whining and pearl clutching on DNR's Facebook post about it, however, is Picard Double Facepalm-worthy.

 

[tyrajam]

I'm pretty happy since I like oddball calibers, all my 30's have weird names like Norma mag, H&H, and Savage Plus now my son can use my 6mm this fall!

 

[avboiler11]

Of course I just worked out a 168gr Amax load in a factory 700 that put 5 shots into 0.53 MOA...reading the clarified reg is now beckoning me like a siren to build that 6x45 I've been rolling around in my head.

18" barrel, 2500fps+ with a 105 Amax over 8208XBR, recoil not much more than a 223...

Doesn't the bill still have the opportunity for changes at a "technical day"?

Fudds gonna fudd

 

[terrance250]

30 carbine is GTG but .270 is not......lololol

It's a step in the right direction, but still full of so much fail :/

 

[451_Detonics]

my M1 Carbine is legal....

 

[Sniper 79]

Good deal! Now if I only had a place with deer to shoot.

 

[mkbar80]

So 300 Win Mag legal....

.243 legal....

even the russian rimmed 7.62 x 54.

but 6.8 spc is NOT.!?!?

whiskey tango foxtrot

someone from Gen Assem or DNR that is patrolling these threads needs to explain this one to me....

 

[Hookeye]

It seems rather obvious that in an attempt to limit things a bit they went with two calibers.
.24 and .30
Clarification takes it well past the 5 cartridges they could have proper named.

[jbell_64]

because it is soooooo much better for me to go deer hunting with my SKS than my 7mm_08 bolt action savage

Care to elaborate (cut/paste/screen grab)? I'm not a FB user.

 

[Streck-Fu]

No cartridges with a bullet diameter between .243 and .308 are legal......

Now that's just stupid right there. I'd want to see the discussion notes leading to that specific decision. Permitting the .243 Win but not .270 Win? Someone has be doing this on purpose as a joke.

• 6mm-06

As I understand it there will be no "technical corrections day". That is why the DNR went ahead with this listing... They would not do that just to be "corrected" by the legislature.

Thanks for the clarification WW!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I suppose I could ***** about the lonesome ol' .270 in the corner, or I could take a .30 something and run with it!

 

[x10]

I'm going to form some 7-08 ammo out of 308 cases and put a sticker over the caliber designation and hunt

They should have consulted a gun guy before showing how clueless they are

 

[Hookeye]

This is a test period, therefore the limit of calibers.
It's not just about guns, it's also people management..........and some are not deer hunters.

Incremental approach...........probably why it passed.
