    It sounds like moose hunting sitting for hours with a rifle, hearing some birds sometimes a barking dog, a lot of time to drink coffee.

    I saw a price on Hornady Vmax .30 110gr here 6sek/0,5$ , 1,5$ for Interbond 30 165gr crazy. I need Hodgdon Powder but the store who use to have them are still out of it. Primers are scarce too.

    Yes I look for white lumps of snow and see through the scope if its a grouse, they are often on their wings before you see them.

    We went out with snowmobiles to the Swedish mountains to tent and hunting on skiis or snowshoes for mountain grouse. We had windy and snowy weather the day then we drove out and the first hunting day. The second day were nice so I could get up on the top of a mountain to hunt with rifle while J and E hunted with dogs in the walley. The third day we had a fantastic sunny weather and nice temperature and wind. The last day it was -28c but E still wanted to hunt and they got several grouses, before we packed up and drove home.

    I took my exam for smallgame then I were 14 as a class in highshool it were two science teachers, the metal and technical teacher and the woodcrafts teacher who had us making the theoretical class and the shooting part as the last week before the summer. We did only pay the test fees and ammunition. My old school still does this 35 years later.

    In the Swedish law you have to pass a hunting examina to get a licence for a hunting firearm. A theoretic exam for smallgame, a practical shotgun test and a rimfire test both theory and practical tests have safety as a part of them. Then you can take the theory and practical test for big game as a add on education. After the exam you are considered to be in need of 4 firearms (typical a 22lr, 12g, 222r 3006 or similar choices ) no fuss with if you have a lease of land or not, life time pemrit unless you do something criminal or dangerous.

    .17hmr are not a legal round for fox in Sweden because of to light bullets .22wmr are the smallest now, but the law were made before the .17hmr were invented.

    Its a struggle every time someone want to change the law we have to fight to limit the negative impact. I heard a city lady on the radio yesterday complaining about the very limited lynx and wolf hunts happening this winter. I hope they dont use the new hunting law to prepare for restriction on use of lead in rifle bullets.

    Some of the changes are from members of the Swedish hunters occociations request. Yes a folding stock are useful on skiis I have bought a single shot rifle 84cm long in total, others have bought a folding stock for their Tikkas. Rifles are not allowed on a Ski-Doo directly they have to be packed in to a sled behind it.

    Are going for parlament vote in july: Shotgun slugs are going to be allowed for roedeer-Not so useful but the only game allowed with slugs are wildboar and fallow deer and its strange to reload to birdshots if you see a roe. Lighter wieght bullets for biggame if they are cupper/guilding metal making the 6,5 legal with cupper. Allowing folding stocks on rifles- I did not know it were illegal but the police made their own rules for firearm licenses. Allowing .22lr. .17hmr for ducks- now its 22wmr as the smallest legal cartridge. Allowing "military looking" semiauto rifle

    In Sweden kombi shotgun/rifle barrels are the most common Valmet and of cause the forrest tractors.
  16. KimE
    Do you have doubbel rifle barrels for it?
  17. KimE
    My model 1867 rolling block were a rimfire what now strikes in the centre.
  18. KimE
    Yes I have found roedeers run as far as a moose with a lungshot with .308w and 180gr bullets.
  19. KimE
    Yes no problem I can make both grouse and moose steak for you.

    Nice I was out on skiies today sunny and no wind -21c I had to open up my jacket to not get to warm. I so about 50-60 black grouses on the way out but none on my day permit lease, there I saw a moose in a pine plantation.

    I met a ma who saw a wolf in Sweden in the 1970s then they there extinct of cause no one believed him, now we suddenly have a solid population of them.

    Ask more questions than you are supposed to need, hunting culture are difficult to describe, explain what you expect in detail.
  23. KimE
    Its easy to dress then its cold if its -10c you dont have to worry about sweat, adjust your walking/skiing to a speed so you hold perfect temperature.

    An illegal slamfire shotgun are easy to make by a couple of pipes try to ban tubing and skrews.

    It looks so strange to see white shirts and ties on the moore, here hunters usually looks as anyone in the community. To put in more obstickles for shooting may have opposite effect and alienate more beguinners. Here in the north everyone knows some hunters, most people have eaten game meat, 25% of the male population hunt here and 7% of females, you dont have so much support to ban shooting/hunting then its so embedded in our community.
