Tactical Non-Restricted in .308 or larger

[cogito]

Is there anything available?

The HK SL-8 and the Swiss Arms are both in .223, looking for something larger that I could use for hunting and the range.

M-14, Garand, or SVT-40 are what you are after. Most else is either pretty pricey.

Uh that Norc(I think) M14 sounds like it. Maybe not 'tactical' but damn cool.

 

[cogito]

no modern arms eh?

Remington 7400, there's a version in 308win with a 18 1/2" barrel.

I was thinking about getting one myself, unless some bad reviews turn up.

Another edit... I think it's called the Model 750 now.

There are some vapourware rifles that could be coming such as the Robarm XCR-M, The Swiss Arms SAPR, The LWRC SABR, The Keltec RFB if you are looking for modern rifles but most are a year if not longer away.

Has to be semi-auto?

In bolt, you could look at Tikka Tactical, .308 or .300WM

The Tikka is more of a "sniper" rifle. Looking for something closer to the HK.

I just picked up an R25 in .308, so yes they are here. Down side is they are also restricted(AR style rifle), so hunting with one is out.

You can make an M14 as "tacticool" as you want can still be hunted with...if you want to lug around a 15lb rifle through the bush.

well thats ###. they designed that gun for the hunter who wants to go to the range.

They designed it for the hunter, who happens to live in the US.

I have some serious doubts as to the extent the International Market (let alone Canadian) is considered when developing new toys.

 

[scrammersam]

thats true. we just have to strict of laws
