If I purchase a non restricted rimfire rifle from cabelas canada online will they take care of the transfer? This will be my first gun and I wasn't sure if I needed to register it or if they took care of it and the CFO mails me the registration certificate?
 
They take care of transferring it to you.

You get a certificate in the mail from New Brunswick, which is the epicentre of our world.

You put this certificate in a very safe place because, if you ever get rid of the gun, you need this certificate to transfer the gun to the next owner. You also need it to prove that the gun is registered if you are asked for proof of registration, as happens quite a bit during hunting season.

This means that you should keep it safe, but also know where it is AND be able to get at it. Safe-deposit box in a bank is safest, but the banks are open less than a quarter of the time. Keeping it WITH the gun also is not a good idea, just in case of theft, burglary and home invasion, when you will need to prove that the guns stolen were in fact registered.

Best location is in that little fireproof lockbox that you keep your land title, family papers and bonds in.
 
would it be a good idea to keep a photo copy of the certificate with the gun / in the truck (if your going hunting \ shooting trip) if your asked to provide proof and your out hunting 2+ hours away from home how do you do this?
 
Its a piece of paper not a diamond ring! Safe deposit box? WTF! If you lose it they will send you a new one no problem. That's where the .0001 at the end comes in. Just like your license. If your guns are stolen, or you are stopped hunting it is not hard for cops to check the registry. Apparently it is an important tool and is accessed thousands of times a day!
 
Easy shopping.
1. Register.
2. Select a rifle.
3. Fill out the form
4. Make a payment.
5. Rifle shipped to you Cabella will take care of transfer.
6. Take the rifle and go shooting at a range or hunting.
7. Always keep a copy of transfer and always exisise safe transport rules ( not loaded, lock on the trigger, keep it in the case, keep your car locked, etc)
Good luck
