In some areas of the World, there are serious restrictions on what you are allowed to hunt with. There are restrictions on the action of the rifle, the barrel length, how the stocks are designed, magazine capacity when the rifle was designed and so on.

Troy of USA have together with a dealer in Sweden (possibly other Nordic countries too) fine-tuned the pump-action Troy PAR, so that it fits ALL the legal requirements for hunting nationwide.

The result is called “Troy Norse Hunter” and comes in two suitable calibers, .223 Remington and .308 Winchester.

As you can note the stock is completely fixed, the barrel length is more than the limited 45 cm (17.7″), the magazine only carries a limited amount of rounds for hunting and the action is manual only.

Actually, the .308 Win version would make a great hunting rifle for “Class 1 animals”, specially equipped with a sound suppressor.

My own experience with the Troy .223 PAR is that it is a very accurate rifle. Even with hunting ammunition, I can shoot very small groups at long distances.

In case you haven’t looked into a Troy PAR, both the upper and lower are very different for the normal AR15 sporting rifles, and the parts are not compatible.

The Norse Hunter comes in two colors, black or mossy oak (Shadow Grass Blades Pattern).

Prices are from 1 600 to 2 300 USD (incl. shipping to Sweden, local 25% VAT etc.)
