Yeah great video... Hopefully that guy is an isolated case.
"I've been down that road many times" that would be the "harassing citizen route" I guess...
"Becomes prohib once you insert the magazine..."
I can only imagine the "apologies" he got: here's your rifle, sign here and here. Bye
Maybe next time dont suggest to that kind of guy to go raid the ranges because everyone is using "it"... Its basically throwing people under the bus.

I've never hunted big game with black guns, but I have taken a bunch of coyotes and varmints with AR180B's, Swiss Arms, CZ858's and (back in the day) AR15's. Always sorta/kinda expected problems when running into LEOs but never had any negative interactions, nothing beyond a couple of questions.
Frankly, I don't do it anymore...not because of problems like those mentioned in this thread either. I just find these guns heavy, awkward, uncomfortable and too much of a PITA to carry for hunting. I guess I'm simply more accustomed to and more comfortable with a traditional rifle for all-day hunting carry.
That said, I do intend to take a deer with my Norc305 at some point. I suspect one will be enough to scratch that itch.

My B-I-L uses a scoped M305 when we're out for deer. It's heavy as fack...
Still can't believe I humped a C1 and C2 as much as I did back in the day... Certainly makes me appreciate my Mountain Mauser more!!
I hear what the OP is saying re: hunting with a Black Gun for LCF, but weight and utility carries the day for me while hunting...
I'll exercise my privilege and save my NR Black Guns for plinking up Chilliwack Lake Road!!!

Gonna use the XCR for deer this year.
Last year and the year before I used my VZ58 in 7.62x39 for deer hunting in BC. The area I was hunting in is Very dense bush. I spent most of my time still hunting through it and the VZ58 seemed about perfect for the job. 7.62x39 is about the same as 30-30 for dense bush hunting and I would place the rifle similar to a lever action carbine in utility and handling(VZ 58s are not very heavy for a black rifle). I would put it at an advantage over a lever gun though due to being faster and easier to keep a sight picture for follow up shots if need be. It has also surpassed my .22s for plinking with the cheap surplus ammo so I feel very proficient with it. When hunting with it I got a mix of reactions from other hunters. Mostly either looks of approval or disapproval but nobody really ignored it. A CO drove passed me while I was walking along the road but did not stop and I did not catch a good look at their face.
