What common calibres are in the UK?

[Mortblanc]

There are tons of "evil black rifles" being used in my area. They are selling hot and heavy and they are everywhere.

I can not remember the last time I went for a shoot at the range and did not find someone there sighting in or test firing one.

They have lost the stigma of being owned by warped individuals in my neck of the woods and are being used by young and old.

They are proving to be excellent deer rifles with adequate power and range.

Their accuracy out to 500 yards, with little felt recoil, is also amazing.

One of the reasons they are gaining in popularity is that Winchester no longer offers the 30-30 in a rifle anyone can afford and the Marlin and Henry lever gun is more expensive than the plain Jane AR rifles.

Much of it it economics, as the use of surplus military rifles always has been.
