What a Drama Queen....

If you are going to make stuff up, you need to get better at it.

First off, that is a Cowboy Action Shooting competitor using firearms specific and modified to play that type of game. The loads they use are bunny-fart loads.  The rifles have to be a pistol caliber and make a power factor of 150, and they are typically tube fed.  Serious competitors cut as close to that 150pf number as they can.  So, I don't know what caliber that rifle is, but as an example if it is shooting a 200 grain bullet then it is probably in the 775-825 fps range to make power factor.  Maximum rifle ranges for that game are 50 yards.  That is nothing compared to a real rifle caliber like a 300 savage, 30-30, or 22-250 like the Browning you posted above (which could not be used for Cowboy Action shooting. Also, the stock mags for the Browning lever gun hold 4 rounds, and no there is no off the shelf high capacity magazine available). 

Here is a youtube vid of ol' Smokestack making a run, might be the same run in FK'ers facebook rip but from a different angle.  He is obviously good at the game, but you can see the targets are fairly close and it indeed is a game.

I've had a few lever guns and like them.  My favorites were a Savage 99 in .300 Savage, a .22 Marlin 39A, and a beat up old Marlin in .41 mag caliber.   None of those guns could possibly shoot as fast as "ol Smokestack's lever gun (which has been modified for the cowboy action game), and except for the .22 39A they recoiled a hell of a lot more than his lever gun shooting those bunny fart loads. 

I'm not a cowboy action shooting guy, but do enjoy other shooting sports.  Trying to use this vid of a gamer lever gun to justify bump stocks is stupid and deceiving.  They are not the same thing. 

I've played with bump stocks and binary triggers and think there should be some regulation so they are not available to the general public.  What that regulation would look like is what needs to be talked about.  And, just for the record - I am not in favor of going back to the '94 AWB days and banning high cap mags. 

FK'er - please don't pretend to speak for the entire shooting community.   Anyway, rather than posting on some silliy Surfing forum shouldn't you be drilling with your "militia"?  Hoveround broke?
