Hunting with a Tavor

[Tony Mo]

The TAVOR is not a bullpup as the stock is part of the receiver. You cannot fire the rifle with the stock removed.

Be AWARE that our police monitor our comments on here.
If someone was found in or near our camp, with that gun the locals would give them a ride out of the area on the nearest
fence rail

Nothing illegal has been promoted in this thread. I am a law abiding, god fearing and gun toting citizen. Also I am sure the locals in your neck of the woods know it is a crime to interfere with a lawful hunt on crown land.

This brings back sweet memories! A while ago, somobody asked me very sincerely why don't I use a fully auto firearm for hunting, cause in his mind it would make so much sense! After a long and very constructive discussion, he realized why one safe, well placed bullet is so important for hunting purposes.

Warren that was an interesting post just taking small parts of my statements and taking them out of context, I believe I said I would not support anyone who pushes things beyond a reasonable border I also believe I said "I'm not saying that applies in this case" or something very close to that. If you are going to quote me at least quote the whole thing and get the context correct.

The Ruger 10-22 and Mini 14 can be modified significantly to accept all kinds of modifications - you can literally transform them to look extremely militaristic. There are still guys who enjoy shooting these guns, and use the Mini 14 and Mini 30 to hunt deer and yotes. (Ruger makes great guns btw) If it's legal, knock yourself out. Just remember that not all badged officers out there understand guns as well as some hunters do, and will treat a para-military carrying guy in camo a wee bit differently than a fellow with a standard looking pump or bolt action firearm.

Use common sense, obey the laws, and you won't have any issues.

Welcome to the site. Longest first-post thread I've ever seen....

Scott,

I quoted what I thought were important points as I comprehended them from your post. If my intreptation was incorrect then I apologise. My main concern is that there are already enough restrictions placed upon and liberties taken from honest, law abiding, firearm owners. We do not need further restrictions or divisions in our own community. As you explained, I misunderstood your post, but the point is still worthwhile making.

cheers.

Warren I completely agree that we have too many restrictions, the problem I see is this. Laws are set and then left alone for us to obey (the vast vast majority of responsible firearms owners follow these laws, did I mention vast, vast) the problem arises when one of us decides they are going to push the boundary a little bit and in doing so bring the heat back down on all of us. Three things could happen in this situation first the perosn loses and the law remains the same (they get charged or whatever happens), second they win and the law is re-written to include the new material (whatever that may be), or third the person loses and the law is re-written with even more restrictions then in had in the first place and we all lose. So I do think as responsible firearms owners we need to weed these very,very few out. Again I will say it may not apply to this situation, but I like my freedom to hunt and own firearms and I do not want to lose that or have it tightened by someone who on their own decided to push the envelope. No offence was taken by the way we ALL have the right to our own opinions and we can discuss them amongst one another in a polite and respectful manner.

I think that if its legal and you want to use it, why not?
Alot has do with perception. When I showed up with my browning 300 WSM in synthetic stock and stainless barrel at my Dad's hunting camp for deer hunting, him and his buddy's thought it looked like a toy and wasn't a proper hunting gun.

Personally I agree it is a cool looking gun. But as others said I would be careful with it out in the woods. Maybe this is a toy more for the deep back woods or a place where there is no chance of running into regular people. The reason I say that is perception is everything and get enough people upset and you will see thoes guns banned. The Liberals have already said they will ban them. Lets not give them extra ammo.

Agreed. I can see why the general public would freak out if they were out walking their dog and then confronted with a hunter carrying a scary looking rifle. That said as far as crown land is concerned, I hunt in areas where I am not likely to bump into anyone else, except for other hunters. I always leave my guns encased traveling to and from my hunting area anyway.

I am more interested in the views of the hunting community, and looking at the volume of response here I guess I can say I now know the answer.
