"Wait... That's Non-Restricted?"

[Italian Sporting Goods]

The tactical-looking hunting rifle you probably thought we couldn't own...

Well, think again.

It has the looks that turn heads and the classification that surprises folks.

Cool. How did that not get on "the list" like the crypto etc.
Also link no worky .

These should be decent as they put a good trigger system in them finally as opposed to the not so great Turkish shotgun one the other versions have

I would assume there's no FRT yet. If it's domestically produced an FRT is not required. But they WILL give it a FRT at some point, which is what happened with the Crypto.

Will this be NR when it gets an FRT? Who knows. I can't afford the gamble though.

Is there no way they could come up with a better stock option?
That looks like it’s on a weird angle

I'm pretty sure the recoil spring is in there?

The stock has a cheek riser to compensate for the angle.

That's because it uses a benelli-style action. It's a semi-auto shotgun that actually shoots 5.56

 

[mark k]

Does the rifle use the Benelli pattern recoil spring assembly? Will M4 stocks fit?

Oh great. Another one to buy and banned and loss of a months disposable income

I hear you. Having something you obtained through a legal process later become prohibited, and constantly seeing it become a political talking point, can wear you out. It's understandable that some people have no interest in going down that road again.

That said, the fact that Crusader Arms keeps innovating and bringing out new products, even after previous ones have been prohibited, is a pretty strong statement in itself. Every new product they release shows that they aren't giving up despite the changing political landscape.

 

[Deathrawt]

If I didn’t already have the orig backland hunter I would be getting this one for sure
Who cares about the political climate crap, if you like the rifle buy it and have fun with it

$2199.99, holy Canadian Freedom Tax Batman!...............

 

[LexInfidelis]

The biggest issue with this rifle is that it’s made by Crusader.
