I'm breathing much easier today, only a single a .308 Winchester was banned today! We can still keep our hunting rifles :)

The banned rifle was that scary one from video games called the "Accuracy International AX". They also explicitly named it's terrible .50 caliber brother the "Accuracy International AX50" and the only singular "AX" sold in Canada that I'm aware of was the .308 version, like Wolverine used to sell. I didn't know .308 could exceed 10,000 joules of energy!

Here's a list someone saved and posted on pastebin:

So I'm pretty sure no other .308's made it but feel free to check!

At last the ranges will be quieter!

/sarcasm.

ETA: I was channeling some FUDD's I recall from the 90's, when they were discussing the various bans then. Except they were serious in their joy, whereas I am just sad.

Why post such a subjective thread?
The Blk Rifle crowd will certainly take exception to the comments and this will only divide things further.
Oh, and it is a rhetorical comment.

You missed one the RPA Quadlock is also on the list. Those pesky DCRA Target Rifle Shooters were so dangerous with their single shot RPA rifles those had to go too.

As mentioned in the precision forum, BAT and Barnard are also on the list. I would suggest people thinking of getting, or owning a custom gun take a look at the list. I am sure a few others may pop up
