Funny you mention that. I am going to a wedding there on July 12th. Spending a week there.
I did go to a rifle range last year outside of Drammen with a family friend and we shot his Sauer Precision Rifle and a Sauer hunting rifle in 6.5 mm Swedish.

They are banning all Semi autos though in 3 years time. So they are not firearms friendly by any means, even though they have a large hunting community.

That is not entirely accurate. IPSC shooters already have to belong to a government approved shooting association and prove that they are active to buy Semi Automatic rifles, ARs, AKs, AUG etc. There is a list of approved rifles. We will still be able to keep and use our rifles. There is also a list of semi automatics approved for hunting. They are keeping the list with some changes. But yes, they are banning certain semi automatics. Handguns are still ok.
