Hei.
I hope someone may be able to offer advice relating to the purchase of a 22lr semi auto for jakt and competition shooting.
I have been enjoying my time at the range with my 6.5x55 and have been thinking of purchasing a 22lr semi auto that allows me to both hunt and engage in competition.
I have used the page https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2011-09-09-930 and discovered that the Rossi mod 7022 Long Rifle and Savage A22 22Long rifle are approved for ownership in Norway in both the hunting and competition categories for semi automatic weapons.
I am finding some difficulty in locating either of these for sale in Norway, is there any advice for me, both on these rifles as well as their aquisition?
I am also interested to know if any other rifles exist that are lawful to own and use in both categories here in Norway (I'm more interested in wooden than synthetic stocks)?
I have seen a large number of ruger10/22 for sale but cant see this model on either legal list, perhaps I'm missing some information regarding semi automatic ownership and Norwegian law?
Is there any general advice regarding the purchase of this type of weapon especially as I'm an Englishman who has lived here for approximately 5 and a half years? I have jegerprøven and two kombis, I'm a member of DFS but do not have the required 16 visits inorder to purchase a semi auto on a competition ticket alone so my purchase would be on my jakt quota as I also want to hunt with it.
Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Thanks.
