I'll bet the guys that make Indiana specific HPR's for deer hunting aren't happy. Their business just got pulled out from under them with one signature............ Now they can double their money converting all the .358 Hoosier rifles back to .308 Winchester. Lol! The bubble was going to burst one day anyway. That's why I never bought one of the Indiana-specific wildcats. There are still public ground hunters who can use them, and these manufacturers can keep their fingers crossed for 2020. Better yet, they can just create a new wildcat by using .50 BMG brass and a .308" bullet. Call it the ".308 Indiana Deer Herd Decimator". Lol!

I had a 358 Hoosier made and I'm not the least bit bothered by this. I can put the 308 barrel back on at any time and the Hoosier gives 358 Winchester performance. I have a.30/06 but I like the Hoosier better.

I am a custom rifle builder here in Indiana and have built a bunch of the Indiana Legal rifles. I'm all for the implementation of common centerfire rifles. I think it will only help business substantially and more so in the long haul. On a couple fronts- More people shooting rifles generates more interest in making their rifles as accurate as possible, then that turns into full custom builds.

I completely agree, providing they have the place available to use them. Luckily, I do, but the rifle that I have is not included in the list being that it is a 7mm.

This will probably ruffle some feathers, but the current trend to hit the woods and hunt with an AR or AK type "battle rifle" or 20 pound sniper rifle gives me the creeps. I don't want to be around anyone hunting with one of those, and you're not coming on my place or hunting with me if you are carrying one. That's not a hunting rifle in my view, it's a killing rifle made for fighting humans.
I'm in no way anti gun, own several myself, but they will never go deer hunting with me. I'm guessing many farmers would be pretty turned off when you jumped out of the truck carrying one too. Bad for the hunter image in my view.

I'm glad that all the rich farmers I hunt on have an open mind and don't share your sentiments. One of them has horses worth more than most people's homes, yet trusts me around them 100% with rifles of any type. A .308 is a .308, whether shot from grandpa's old wood-stocked Model 70, from a bolt-action Remington 700 with modern synthetic stock and suppressor, or from an AR-10. If cosmetics bother someone, they have bigger issues.

It will be just like HPR's; the more common they get and the longer they are around the less it will bother people; change and different are hard for many to accept.
