Q: What are the most commonly used hunting rifles?
Are semi automatics more favored over non semis?
Any statistics on this?
please site your source
thank you
A: The Winchester model 70, and Remington model 700 are probably the most common rifles in use today. Bolt actions of any brand make up the majority of deer rifles commonly in use. Lever actions like the Winchester model 94 are probably the second most popular. Semi-autos and single shots would be the least common, probably similar numbers of each in use. As far as caliber goes- 30-06 would be most common, followed by .270, then 30-30.

Ruger, Browning, Winchester, New England Arms (H&R), Thompson, and Sharps all make single shot models. Plus there are a gagillion custom single shot designers. There is even the American Single Shot Rifle Association.

Q: Are there any legal issues involved if I sell my used hunting rifle directly to another private citizen?
Any paperwork? Must I use a gun dealer? Or is it just like selling someone a used freezer, for example?
A: Assuming your in the USA……
It is completely legal for you to sell your rifle to somebody…..
Of course do what I do — Write down from there drivers license, name, DOB and address…. That way if johnny law dropped by because the gun was used illegaly you can point them to where you sold it…..
Also if you dont like the person (maybe they look or are acting sketchy) you do not have to nor are you obligated to sell it to him…….
Otherwise it is quite legal……..
Q: High Power Rifles used for Hunting in Ohio???
i am doing a school projeict. i haft to write a bill and i just wanna get some opinions and peoples input on this.in ohio we are not allowed to use high powered rifles. i think that it will be a good idea if we were allowed to. i am looking for information that will help me write my bill. What is the hunting law in your state??? What is your opinion on this issue?? and anything anyone wants to say that will help me thanks………..
A: The main reason Ohio has those rules is because in the central and up north it’s too flat and the bullet can go too far. It’s just about safety. Down south though they should be allowed to use rifles i think. Here in Pa we can everything but a 22 for deer for obvious reasons.
Q: I have used hunting rifle and would like to sell it?
But there is a little problem with it, I ingraved some personal information into it a number of years ago and don’t know how to undo what I inscribed into the metal, anyone got any suggestions??
A: Take it to a gun shop with a gun smith. He can neatly eradicate the personal info, then refinish the area so it matches metal finish and protection. Heck, he will likely sell it for you too, at a nominal consignment charge.
Q: Is this what hunting rifles are used for in the American gun culture?
LITTLETON, Colo. – The gunman was walking through a middle school parking lot and taking shots at students with a hunting rifle as terrified teenagers ran for their lives. He had just wounded two students and seemed ready to unleash more violence when a math teacher named David Benke sprung into action.
Benke confronted the 32-year-old gunman, tackled him and pinned him to the ground with the help of another teacher, stopping what could have been a much more violent encounter in a city all too familiar with tragic school shootings. The shooting occurred less than three miles from where the Columbine High School massacre happened nearly 11 years ago.
“Unfortunately he got another round off before I could grab him,” Benke said. “He figured out that he wasn’t going to be able to get another round chambered before I got to him so he dropped the gun and then we were kind of struggling around trying to get him subdued.”
A: The majority of Americans own guns, a large part of the guns are rifles.
Do you see millions of people out shooting in schools?
No you do not. Try using logic, then you would not have to ask questions.
Q: What states outlaw using rifles for deer hunting? ?
I know that Connecticut only allows people to hunt with shot gun slugs or archery. Does anybody know any other states where they don’t allow rifle hunting?
They allow rifle hunting in the western United States (I don’t know about Hawaii).
A: Sometimes it isn’t a state regulation….. In some states its legal to use rifle but there may be counties in that state that wont allow it….. Here where I am there are about 6 counties that don’t allow rifle…. They are shotgun only…. But the rest of the state rifle is ok….
Q: What is the easiest and smallest rifle used for deer hunting?
I am new to whitetail hunting and would like to know the easiest
semi auto rifle for hunting or maybe a good all around semi auto and
bullet choices
A: “Semi-auto” and “easy” don’t often go in the same sentence….
Easiest rifles are single shot, then bolt action (w/magazine) then pump action and self-loading semi auto being the most complex (i.e. not at all easy).
Semi auto hunting rifles have sort of fallen out of popularity with hunters due to the expense, the difficult cleaning and maintenence and the fact that they just aren’t as accurate.
Minimum caliber is .243, then there’s a whole range of good choices.
.30-30, .270, .308 and .30-06 are by far the leading cartridges.
Q: What is a good beginner’s book/source of info for different guns/ammo used for hunting?
I’m getting into hunting, but I feel like I need to get more comfortable with all the rifles/pistols and ammunition that you can use. Anybody know of a good beginner’s book/video/anything where I can learn about different rifles/pistols used for hunting, ammunition for them, and their uses?
A: Field and Stream put together a large book called “The Complete Hunter”. It covers these topics and gives the advice of trusted professionals. The I was in your same position 2 yr ago when I started to take an interest in hunting. I bought the book in the gun department at my local Wal Mart.
D58 has a good point to research these questions online, like in different gun blogs ( thehighroad.com, packing.org, etc.)
I am a big research guy and read all I could. I would give a warning about the blogs. These people can be very convincing, but not always correct. Much of it comes down to personal preference.
If you email me, or edit to include what you are interested in, I would try to help you more.
Q: Where can I buy a good used Deer hunting rifle or a new one that isn’t expensive?
A: How much are you willing to spend and what caliber rifle are you looking for. try to find a gun exchange. Gander Mountain has the best prices on new guns around my area
Q: What is the most common rifle used for hunting whitetail in georgia.?
This will be my first hunt and i want a gun that my twelve year old can shoot also.I have a 12 gauge but its a little beefy for him
A: Get a carbine. It will fit a 12 year old, and you can use it, too. Google Ruger Firearms. They have some good carbines. Any of the calibers that Ruger offers in centerfire for their ‘range rifles’ will take a whitetail down. I was shooting my Dad’s Ruger .44 when I was 12. The recoil is not that bad with the semi-auto action. I think your 12 year old should be able to shoot it fine.
Q: Do you like lever action rifles for hunting?
How many of you like lever action rifles and use them for hunting?
If so why?
Great answers! I lov em 2!
A: I use lever-guns for everything.
My favorite hunting rifles are my old Browning BLR in .358 Winchester, my old Marlin Golden Model 39-A in .22 LR and the Marlin Model 1895 in .45-70 Gov’t.
My Social Rifle is a Rossi M-92 Saddle Ring Carbine in .357 Magnum.
Lever-guns are more accurate than folks give it credit for being. They are fast on follow up shots. They are damned handy in confined places, and you can reload a traditional styled lever-gun without removing it from your shoulder.
FWIW, my Browning BLR is the most accurate rifle I’ve ever owned, and one of the most accurate I’ve ever shot. And my Marlin Golden Model 39-A is almost as accurate.
Hell the only bolt-gun I own is an ancient Stevens .410 single-shot. And I don’t plan to add any to the gun cabinet.
