So***Hi power rifle or not?

[hps]

Are deer hunters going to be able to use their grandpa's 30-30 for the 2015 deer season?

I may have to visit some ole stomping grounds if so. I'm sure this has been hashed over many times and really not looking for a debate on this one. Just curious if anyone really knows the answer.

If you read the forum, you'll find the answer you seek.

It's virtually impossible to raise the topic without stirring debate.

I don't expect to hear anything before May or June. Then everyone will go hog nuts wild buying new guns.

Why wait till then? If it is anything like when 44's were made legal in rifles Gander Mountain will jack up all the prices 50% the next day.I

This is why you purchase from budsgunshop.com or somewhere else instead. Even the local mom'n'pop places. Don't bother giving Gander your business. The more people buy from them the more they know they can continue to jack up prices.

When I purchased my FCP-K in .308, Gander wanted $950 for the gun with no optics. I bought it from Bud's for $709 (no taxes) + cheap shipping + $25 FFL transfer fee @ local gun shop.

I bought a CM9 from Buds for $350 that included shipping and transfer fee. I saw the same gun at Gander for $550 plus tax of 7%. No thanks....

Bud has a big used gun auction going on right now...

Kentucky gun co is good also, great prices and free shipping.

Ohhhh don't worry they don't get my cash on things like that.....oh and I am already planning and building my deer gun as we speek. Worst case I got one more nice shooter for the range.....oh and coyote, squirrels, and everything else in Indiana!

Gander sells guns? I thought it was just a clothing store...

 

[rkesar]

If you read a lot of armslist ads there is a ton of people trying to sell rifles and saying they are already legal.

The Gander in Evansville has a ton of guns. Nice place to go look and handle one and then buy at Bud's..

I already have a Ruger M77 .30-06 to go with my Marlin 1894 .45 Colt, so I'm all set whichever way this goes.
According to the DNR website, they will be taking public comments starting next month and April.
The final decision is to follow in May.
I'm hoping it will go through.

 

[rkesar]

When will the final decision be made?

 

[halfmileharry]

I'm looking for a decision ONLY AFTER an amount of time goes through that won't allow a "Timely transition" and we'll try again next year.

 

[oldpink]

When will the final decision be made?

Again, May of this year, and that's straight from the DNR website.

New ones? It's going to be a hard enough decision with what's in the vault right now!

Haha, agreed. I was planing on taking a mosin into the woods this fall if it goes through. I got rid of them though and just picked up a K-31. It will most definitely be going into the woods if allowed.

 

[Force10]

Grandpa's 30-30 will be going with me if this goes through.

 

[beehunter]

I intend on hunting with a 25-06 if this bill passes.
