How many guys have acquired a gun for Deer hunting Southern Michigan?

[Leader]

This year... It will be a Mossberg 695.

My buddy in Warren should have some Franklin Armory ones for around 600 bux. The Remy build Bushmaster 450 uppers arent as nice as the old ones.

Everything I hear about Rem lately is not good.

Not new to me but have not hunted with it in years, just loaded up some new rounds. They seem to shoot good at 100 yards.

Also building a Savage in 45 raptor, but it will not be done for this year. Looking for a marlin in 444 that I can have converted to 445 supermag.

high-compression power source.

Wow! Hadn't heard about that part of the new regulations, might have a new frontier to explore!

Yep, that one slipped by many people.

When they changed the definition of "firearm" so that "pneumatic" rifles/guns no longer fell within that scope, they also had to change the hunting laws.
