Aah and pistols and one hand guns are not allowed in hunting.

@Yggdrasil, here next to you, caliber .22 lr single shot pistol is allowed for so-called "trap capture". But then the "gun" must not be too small and the police like to accept 25-30cm barrels only. Brands like "Drulov" are common.. I have one myself

Not in Norway!
Here they have this rule of a certain Impact energy, but it only counts for gunpowder driven weapons.
Go figure

And traps that do not instantly kill has to not cause injury.
So cages, tunnels and such are legal.
Foot traps not.

Learned to hunt with a single shot 20ga Mossberg and a single shot .22. Still hunt and shoot with the one shot / one kill mentality. I'm amazed at the guys blasting away with mag dumps that seem to be common with the younger generation. 30 round mag will leave more carcasses than you'd care dress and skin...

all of the guns up until this post, were not about hunting. nor, are 30 round magazines. nor is america's 2nd amendment rights.

Two shots for large predators? Sounds like Sweden want to give the bear a fair chance!

I'm guessing you've got the rare single shot Browning BAR, M14, et al?

The only thing my Socom has been used for is range shooting, read that as practice. And deer hunting. Period.

I have this with the walnut stock she slings brass , picking up afterwards is fun

Lay out a tarp and empty it when you change caliber/ammo, makes it alot easier to police the area.

the BAR was never a single shot. in fact, it's right in the name. Browning Automatic Rifle.

believe it or not, i'm genuinely happy for you that you've never needed it for anything else. period.

my suggestion is to simply be happy that's all your hunting rifle has ever been needed for, and pray it stays that way. war is not a joke. sleep deprivation changes your entire state of mind. and so does the REAL realization of your own mortality. it's amazing how many can't even comprehend the idea, without experiencing it for themselves. even though they think they do. it's also amazing of how much you're capable of, once you recognize that tomorrow could be your last.

in the mean time, keep 'practicing.' you'll never know when your country and the rest of the world needs us to bail it out ... again.

I got a semiautomatic Browning BAR in 9,3x62, but I can only load it with 3+1. Often enough for my purposes..

Very interesting read. Thanks for that.

If I disremember correctly the brain kill shot is straight up the nostril, as the bear is heading your way ... can't imagine why a shot through the foramen magnum wouldn't work, if he was headed the other way.

I once studied under a predator control agent out in the western US that used an HK91 for coyote work. Seems over kill maybe, but those days were "no body, no pay". And when a pack of 20 to 30 break out of cover, a good shot could make a good pay check. I used a 30-06 for long shots when ever he managed to leave a stray or two.

I own an AR-15, (not in the tiny 556 version) in 350 Legend that I bought for control work on wild pigs. When a group of 20 to 50 plus break cover those high capacity magazines can be handy.

For meat hunting I use bolt action guns, or single shots. I gave up the hand guns for bigger game some time ago, (although they are quite the challenge) but still chase a rabbit on occasion with a 22 pistol.
