RE: Any truth, or is this a B.S. rumor???
Interesting... Seems odd, though, that they would consider lever guns and not others. If the concern was errant shots flying a couple miles into a populated area, then it seems to me a caliber restriction would be more appropriate than an action restriction. What would be the practical rationale for allowing a BLR in .308, but not a Model 700 in the same caliber?
