· .308 rifle (1)
· 12 gauge shot gun (6)
· 20 gauge shot gun (1)
· .410 gauge shot gun (3)
· handguns (10)
Most of the items were surrendered because owners said the firearms were no longer being used, 13 were turned in because the firearm was very old, and 6 others were surrendered on behalf of owners who had passed away.
Police say there were also holsters, ammunition, magazines, a pellet gun, pellets and CO2 cartridges surrendered.
During the course of the month, unwanted firearms or weapons could be surrendered without repercussions as long as the item had not been used in the commission of a crime.

Do some reading. There is a plethora of material out there. I’d stick to the peer reviewed variety though, it’s much more interesting than the veritable mountain of perfunctory opinion and regurgitated rhetoric.
Does that come in Browning XBolt 300 WSM Sine?
Sine must be referring to CO2 cartridges.
