What kind of permits or licenses would you need to buy a hunting rifle in BC?

[ecka@ymailecom]

I have previous experience with machine guns and semi/full auto rifles through the army but would like to purchase my own rifle. It would be used primarily for deer at close to medium range. Say 10 to 100m. I'm kinda sketchy on caliber though, I don't wanna blow the thing to bits. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will have to qualify (pay through the nose) for a Possession and Aquisition Licence before you can buy a hunting rifle. In your case, I would buy a bolt action in .270, 30-06 or .308, but that is mostly because I strongly prefer bolts. You could probably use any action of rifle since you aren't shooting past 100 yards (90 yards).

Ps. You will also need 2 pieces of ID, one of them photo, to prove you are who you say you are.
