In order to get rifles added you and your friends that want to use them probably need to go to the dnr meetings that are held in your area and make that suggestion. If I did I would try to get the more mid range rifle to be accepted first. Like the 30-30 and that group, 44, 45, 38, 35. As for why they do not want long range firearms they say it is because there is seldom an area of 1 square mile without houses or buildings of some nature. When handguns were finally accepted we thought that we were in heaven back then, but they were restricted to a bullet, case length as well as some calibers being excluded because they were not deemed to be large enough for a quick clean kill.
