Rifle restrictions?
Hello, newbie here. Wanted to get into hunting for awhile, and I know pretty much nothing other than I’d have to get a license and pay for tags.
My initial question is: what kinds of restrictions are there for rifles used in southern US deer hunting?
I’m a gun nerd without alot of extra money, part of me has always wanted a Lee Enfield No. 4 strictly for he cool/history factor, and I understand some of them have been rechambered in 7.62 x 51 with scopes.
Would that rifle be viable/overpowered for whitetail hunting? Not allowed due to mag capacity? Idk what rules I may be breaking by trying to use it, but I’m torn between that (my dream rifle) and something more typical like a Tikka T3.
I understand modern rifles are much lighter and user-friendly but I also just want a cool WW2 era rifle, and it’d be great if I could use it practically as well.
Any thoughts and opinions are welcome, idk what I’m trying to get myself into
