I'd say T/C Encore HANDGUN would be good to go or any other type of handgun.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on November 16, 2012, 07:22:45 PM: Ah, a 30-30 in a handgun is still a handgun, right ? Is there any cartridge specs to determine what is a "handgun" cartridge ?

Regs say "REVOLVER TYPE" Not sure but 30/30 does not qualify as a revolver cartridge.... .30 Carbine would..

Post by: CAMPMEAT on November 16, 2012, 09:20:04 PM: I have a 450 Marlin with a 15 inch barrel and a 308 with a 15 inch barrel for my T/C Encore. It's also a rifle cartridge. Seems like the WDFW should make it very clear in the regs. What is a " revolver type " of gun ? Since it's not a " rifle ", it's a handgun. These rules were probably written years ago and need to be addressed to avoid any confusion. I'd hunt with either as a handgun.
