Medved-3 is no-no also?

[fat tony]

Interesting rifle and caliber combination - looks something like a .375 winchester approximately.

What exactly is the Russian .308? Can this rifle be used with regular .308 available here?

Not safe, unless the powder charge is reduced...

 

[lone-wolf]

I want that ammo box

 

[shogun]

So if it comes here, you can only shoot reloads customized for this rifle?

This is a better rifle;

I should know I held both and knew the original importer of both into Canada.

 

[shogun]

It is a nice looking rifle. What is their status in Canada?

 

[fat tony]

There was an importer/dealer/retailer but he got into some legal trouble about a shipment of (?) Saigas and lost so he had to close up shop.

Berkut is non restricted.

To all of you that wanted to buy one of those be careful. As far as I checked you could not get those imported to Canada. I know that you have to get it in writing from official that it is allowed. Someone imported Medved and Saiga got in a lot of trouble. Had to ship it to USA as those are not allowed in Canada. Anything that has same parts as AK47 is not allowed in Canada and both of those are modeled after AK47.

As to that ammo box it does look great. I can pick the box up next time I am in Russia.

The Medved has Canadian FRT #s and is classified non-restricted. I have posted these numbers earlier in the thread. The Saiga is a different matter entirely.

So Berkut is listed on that site as available in .308. Is it normal .308 or again the Russian underpowered .308?

Walrus powered. Didn't you see the picture?

 

[shogun]

I was asking about Berkut.

This is what I would take on a Walrus Hunt

Tried to find current FRT# online . Pages down from RCMP.
Where did you find those?

The following FRT #s refer to Medveds as non restricted :

96375-1 is the 7.62x54r version
96375-2 is the .308 win version
