I just got my tags for this fall. I live in the lower Michigan zone that was formerly shotgun/handgun only....No rifles.
For 2014 they have modified the rifle restriction and are now calling it the "Limited Firearm Deer Zone". Rifles are Ok in this zone, but only if they are:
- 35cal. or larger
- straight wall cartridges with a minimum case length of 1.16" and maximum case length of 1.80"
- air rifles of 35cal or larger using external high-compression sources.
Basically that means we can now use rifles, but only those that use pistol cartridges (.357mag up to 460 S&W)
I would love to lay my hands on a rifle in 460 S&W to take advantage of this restriction change, but they are not exactly common. Wish Marlin would re-introduce the XLR lever gun in 460 S&W. That would be perfect.
Any suggestions of rifles in this caliber that are not single shots? Is there such a thing as a factory bolt action or auto rifle in 460 S&W?
