Recently went to the Fred Hall fishing and Hunting Show. Big deal in So. Cal.Everything costs too much and way too many people but still fun. Was talking to people who have hunts in South Africa and New Zealand. Discussed firearms and mentioned that I would like to use my 338 Win Mag in a BAR. Everyone said NO , no semiautomatics. Has this become the rule world wide? I like my BAR, it is a little heavier and louder than it needs to be for most domestic game but it works. Have I ended up with a US only or US and Canada only gun? Bet no one wants to talk about my Remington Model 8 or my Ruger Deerslayer. I would welcome any information from people that have hunted in other countries. Are semi-autos frowned upon or banned for sportsmen? Thank you.
