Thanks to all for interest in my posts.
Will try to explain more as I can .
1. About Blaser rifles here . Yes, very popular . R93 and R8 . Blaser shotgun also too . Just go to gun store and buy. Some info what need to do for buy shotgun/rifle is : firstly for buy centerfire rifle you ("future gun owner") need to have shotgun (any model) during 5 years without any issue. After 5 years you get right to buy centerfire rifle (rifled barrel) . In any case before buy each shotgun/rifle must get gov. license with permit for buy gun. One license - one gun. With license go to gun store and buy one gun. Full circle time from "want to buy" and "have gun in hand" typically take 1.5 month. You can request up to 5 licenses one time , each license valid for 6 month (during this period you must buy and register ordered rifle/shotgun. Not fast , but not so long... Also we have a limit: one hunter/shooter can have not more then 5 shotguns and not more then 5 centerfire rifles. Thats what we have here. I hear what in USA just go to store and buy . Here not like this
2. About what rifles people use here : hmmmm, I think the same as all world. Blaser, Beretta, Benelli, Mauser, Sauer , Remington, Merkel, alot of Turkish shotguns (good price) , Browning (Happy birthday Mr. Browning
) , Zoli, Tikka, Sako, local manufactures with models like SKS, Vepr, Tigr .
Prices for brands much higher then in EU/USA
Regarding calibers, most popular : 308Win, 30-06Sprg, 9.3x62, 7.62x39 (very cheap cattridge, 8 US cents per short) , .22LR , .243Win. Specific calibers (very limited choose of cattridges in stores) : 6.5x55 Swedish , all WSM group. Not popular very good (for me ) 7x64 - no idea why, cattridges was only in Moscow gun stores.
3. About hunting. We have 2 seansons here. 1. is Spring Hunter time. Open only 2 weeks per region. In my location usually open in mind of April. Neighboring southern region on one week early. Neighboring north region in one week later. As result we drive and to Neighboring regions and can hunt not 2 weeks but up to 1 month in total. All types of male duck, woodcock, blackcock, capercaillie, goose.
In 1 June also open hunt for wildboar.
Second season is Summer-Winter . Long season. Open in 3th Saturday of August and end 28 February. Can hunt for all types Spring time + in Sep opened foxes, hare, moose, all type of wildboar , bear. I don't know about Siberian roe deer and like marmot hunts, not live in my region. European roe deer - very small population here and if I remember right hunt closed many years for roe deer here.
