If a magazine was made specially for this rifle it could be unlimited because its a manual action and not a semi. The only reason it's pinned to 5 is because they decided to use Ar-15 mags.

it might, but i do beleive in gun control i would only allow semi automatics in very limited scenarios, if you would be wiling to apply for a class three title two license or tax status whatever a distructive weapons permit.. but i think a lot of gun cotrol advocates dont know about guns , thats why i watch a lot of these videos to learn so i can have an educated opinion, such guns are legal in the uk and austrlia, i think this would stop mass shootings for the most part, to restrict beyond the laws of strict nations like uk and australai is unrelaistic and unfair, private citizen do have that right to bear arms, just not military arms.. the police do rifles like this eg remington 7615

Cool Rifle. Nice review Couple of questions. What is your experience running the rifle, and do you still have it ? Any issues mechanically? I am considering getting one as a hunting rifle because as a soldier I am most comfortable with the ergonomics of an AR style rifle( and I get to improve my marksmanship). But here in Denmark they are quite expensive. I haven’t been able to find much information on the rifle online, so I thought I would ask you. Would you still recommend the rifle after having owned it for some time ? Best regards from a Dane

We are well aware of that here in Canada. Unfortunately the bulk of voters etc are in big cities and have never had any real experience with Canadian firearm culture. So they are still working towards banning a lot of things despite the fact that the reasons for it are illogical and have no factual foundation. We are fighting hard up here much like you have been in the states.

That's a Sightron SIII 6-24 that I was using for accuracy testing. Not the scope I'd recommend for this rifle, I was just using it so that the optic was not holding the rifle's accuracy back. More on that scope: www.huntinggearguy.com/riflescope/sightron-siii-6-24-ffp-review/

@Huntinggearguy
@Huntinggearguy 7 жыл бұрын
Eventually, you'll trade off long distance magnification for short distance snap shooting. For a rifle like this, I'd recommend something with very reasonable magnification: 1-4, 2-7, or 3-9. More isn't really required unless you're doing 1000-ish yards, and this isn't the rifle for 1000 yard shooting.
