does anyone here hunt with a green/black rifle?

[Mr. Friendly]

being the RA XCR comes in 6.8mm Rem and .308 Win, it leaves one with an intriguing thought (if you can choke the cost down). I know some do hunt with their SKS or CZ-58, but that's not really what I was referring to.

actually, to expand, how many hunt with a milsurp rifle or a M14s? Enfields? Garands? Others?

[Gateholio]

I have hunted with SMLE's and I used to have a Garand but never took it hunting.:-D

I'll hunt with a Tavor after I buy one.:wink:

[ElkMasterC]

Got my first moose, and my first 4-5 whitetails with a 1912 Lee Enfield .303.

I took it to Florida years ago to wingshoot Flamingos with Karamojo Bell, but that's another story for another day. ;-)

Hey mines green and black!

[4pointer]

Yup!!!! i hunt with a shorty M14 and regular M14, SKS-D.....always causes a stir from the uninformed whenever I post up successful hunt pics......most commonly "is that thing legal?". If I had an XCR, I'd be flossing it in the bush....always nice to see ppl's jaws drop when they see ya!!:mrgreen:

[Camp Cook]

RA XCR's do not come in 308 yet only the XCR-L's are being sold the XCR-M 308's are not released for sale yet...

I have an OD Green RA XCR in 223 ordered to use for predator/varmint hunting/shooting...

Once I find out how these rifles shoot I may get a 6.8spc or a 7.62X39 conversion kit for deer/bear.

[Bow Walker]

I packed a Lee Enfield many years ago when I started out hunting. Dad got me one for my b/d....it cost $18.00 back in the day. Stil own/shoot one.

[Rod]

My first deer was with a Lee Enfield I hitchiked 60 miles to my parents place with it in a case. Try that today!

I also took a whitetail with a FN-C1 many moons ago. Awsome rifles but on the prohib list now I think.

[Mr. Friendly]

I read an interesting thought recently...as I was thinking about an XCR in 6.8mm. you could get a Norinco/Poly M14s and kit it out to be supremely accurate and still have $1000 for ammunition vs. the cost of the XCR. while the XCR definitely has the 'fun' on it...so does the M14s.

[303Brit]

I hunt with a Smelly as my Primary, My wifes Primary is a SKS-D(it's getting a Tapco stock should yeild her some looks). Once I pick up a M-14 I will hunt with it. I would hunt with a FAL in a heartbeat if it ever comes of the Prohib list.

XCR is pretty hi on $$$$$$ end of things as pointed out, you could pick up a Poly/Norc M-14 gut it tune it and hop it and still have tonnes-o-cash left for optics and such. But to each their own

[ringo]

I hunt with 'sporterized' Swedish Mausers and Mod 98 Mausers. It started with what I could afford, meaning a cheap, accurate rifle for hunting and took off from there. Forty-five years of hunting later, I still use them because of nostalgia, accuracy, and reliability! Old habits die hard, I have had a few newer technology rifles, mainly modified Mauser designs, but few measure up to the original.

[trykillthis]

I have a 180B for varmint and I am looking at the Poly M305 as another one but I wanna wait and see what comes of that (hopefully) 16.5" savage bush gun.

[slayer B]

So are y'all trying to tell me that the RA XCR is an unrestricted rifle?

[Gateholio]

Yes.....So are the Swiss Arms, Tavor, etc.

[slayer B]

EEEEEEEEEEEE I'm so excited two drops of pee just came out! :)

Gatehouse,
Why is the xcr unrestricted and the AR restricted? What makes a rifle restricted

The answers to this question and many more like it lie at the top of an unreachable mountaintop in the hands of the most moronic reverse-natural-selected Canadian Government bureaucrats ever appointed to a post.

Pretty much sums it up.

Apparently they picked up a copy of 1996GUN DIGEST and made all the scary looking guns restricted or prohibited.

XCR's, Swiss Arms, etc weren't around at the time.:mrgreen:

[ElkMasterC]

I think this would raise a few eyebrows in the woods. ;-)

A bubba'd SKS D?

SKS are not restricted either.

[trykillthis]

Looks more Tacticool than bubba'd to me.

[ohno]

I believe Bubba'd means permanent alterations to an otherwise collectable rifle. An SKS D with an ATI folder stock isn't really Bubba'd.

Now grind off the bayonet lug and screw on some rails you'd make bubba proud.

[Gateholio]

When you mix a wooden foreguard with a plastic pistol grip folding stock, it reeks of Bubba.:mrgreen:

[trykillthis]

No that reeks CHEAP.

[Mr. Friendly]

well, I'm pretty sure after my trip to Mexico for my sisters wedding, I'm going to get am M14s and kit it out and use the saved $1000 on ammo to practice and hunt with (the Dutch in me has decided on this matter).

and Gatehouse, I love that 'HULK SMASH' image you've gone now, totally awesome!

[7mag700]

You know what you get when two Dutchmen see penny laying on the sidewalk?

...copper wire :mrgreen:
