So, who else is hunting with their NR black rifles?

[tootall]

we need a thread full of pictures of black and red rifles shown in a hunting context. it would be nice to show hunting pictures with black and red rifles to help antis understand that black and red rifles are no different then a bolt action hunting rifle.

Agree!
Small island deer this past Tuesday with an SKS.

Gonna try for black bear with my M14 soon.

To update my previous post, we went out again this weekend and Saturday morning ended up being very successful. Just before dawn this eight point buck was working his way down a game trail, and I was able to line up the double lung heart shot. The RFB was a perfect size to maneuver around the rock I was using as partial concealment. The shot ranged out at a little less than 100 yards, and the 168 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertip worked very well. The deer took four or five leaping steps before dropping on the other side of the ridgeline - DRT. After dressing, he came in slightly under the 200 lb. mark.

Overall I'm very happy with the RFB, it's a little heavier than I would like, but it has everything else going for it...

Cheers,

M

Why not?

It is unlawful to

1.set out, use or employ any of the following items for the purpose of hunting big game:

•ammunition of less than .23 calibre,

That's why...

It's illegal to hunt ANY big game (except during predator control, or hunting coyotes & wolves) with .223/5.56 in Alberta.

So you're hunting Deer with .223 ?

In Ontario it's A-OK to hunt deer with .223. Personally, I've found the .223 cartridge to work quite well on deer. People against the .223 cartridge seem to say that it only works with careful shot placement. But honestly, if you can't make a clean shot, you shouldn't be taking the shot anyhow. That should be the case whether you're using .223 or some massive cannon, so really the small calibre arguement should be moot IMHO.

That may be the rule in Alberta and Saskatchewan but it isn't true for all provinces. You can hunt deer with .223 in BC, Manitoba and Ontario so for the majority of the Canadian population it is legal.

Am I in Alberta?

No...

That's why.

Plus, the guy you were responding to never said they were hunting deer with a .223, just they were hunting with one.

WAY TO GO stormtrooper!!! Nice buck!!!

And, I had hoped to post a pic from this year, but no luck so far... So, here's last year with the RFB.

And next year I will try my luck with my semi 1919a4 in 7.62 Nato...
