    If the Canadian in question is a highly trained sniper, and applies for the proper Canadian permits, then yes. Sniper rifles are rifles that snipers use. Every rifle with a scope on it is not a sniper rifle. And what does 2012 have to do with this? It’s just another year.
    I have 12 centerfire scoped rifles, none of them are sniper rifles because I’m not a highly trained sniper. Children who don’t know any better may call my rifles sniper rifles, but they aren’t.

    Thank you Butch just what I was going to say, also O.P. common….2012 is not going to be the end of the world, it is going to be another Y2K, remember that BS.

    a sniper is not the gun but the hands in which it is held. Now if you are looking for a rifle that is accurate at long range now we’re talking. get a Remington 700 .308 win mag. If you want a shotgun then you need to get a Mossberg 590 12 gauge. yes you can have guns in Canada.
