Dad asked me about hi capacity magazines on boot guns, what guns would have them. I don't know, any bolt guns take Ar mags? What would have a 10 or 20+round capacity? He's been taking about a savage accu trigger in 223, any of those have high capacity magazines?

I just got a ruger scout for 950 out the door. Nice handling gun and quite accurate, takes 10,5 and 3 round mags. Decent iron sights and the option to mount the scope out front or traditionally. I know the mossberg MVP takes ar mags but I've never handled one personally.

Lee Enfield. 10 round mags
My Savage 10BA has a 10 round mag, but I just assumed it was pinned so I only put in 5. I just learned in another thread that there are no limits for mags designed for use in bolt action guns. I'll have to try 10 this weekend at the range.
Rimfire rifles have no magazine limits. The exceptions are if the magazine they use is a rimfire pistol magazine, in which case the magazine is restricted to 10 rounds, like all pistol magazines.
Remember it's the magazine that has the restriction, and not the rifle.
Not rimfire, I mean centrefire rifles in general, in 223 preferably. I. Saw a savage with a 26 inch barrel, can't remember what model, are they at least detachable magazines? He has great big bear paws he can't do top loading
Yes, but for which rifle is a pinned high capacity box magazine available?
Clear as mud.......
Soooooooooooo, is there a pistol that uses the same DETACH MAGAZINE as the 10-22 or
Ruger American 22 rim fire that could use a 25 round magazine?
The 10/22 magazines are designed for the 10/22. Use the 25 or 100 round magazines and have fun.All legal. Ruger would have to be nuts to build a pistol that uses those rotary magazines. It would be very weird.
Clark, your reading comprehension skills really suck.
The Ruger American is NOT a 10-22.
I was informed that the Ruger BX-25 magazine was illegal to use, specifically
in the rimfire mentioned above.
That is unless it was pinned to 10 rounds.
Me Engrish is fine and so are me ears understanding what was said to me.
The question was..............are the BX-25 mags legal here in B.C. to use
in the Ruger American rimfires?

It has nothing to do with the rifle you use it in. Ruger BX25 magazines MUST be pinned to 10 rounds because Ruger F'ed up and the initial run of magazines stated that they were compatble with the Ruger 10/22 Charger "pistol", and thus were deemed dual use and had to be pinned. You can use any magazine in any rifle you want.
As for you question : "The question was..............are the BX-25 mags legal here in B.C. to use in the Ruger American rimfires?"
The simple answer is Yes. You can use any magazine in any compatible firearm, provided it does not exceed the capacity of it's design. Magazines designed to be used in Rimfire rifles and manual action firearms (pump, bolt, lever) have no capacity limit. All pistol magazines have a capacity limit of 10 rounds of the cartridge they were designed to hold. All semi-automatic center-fire rifle and shotgun magazines have a capacity limit of 5 rounds of the cartridge the magazine was designed to hold.

You never mentioned the BX25 until your last post. Perhaps you should have before passing judgement. And perhaps you should educate yourself on what type of magazine the American uses, too.
"10/22 25 round magazines" (as you referred to them) are widely available and completely legal. You can go into any gunshop and buy them.
There are many 25+ round magazines available for use in the 10/22 and Ruger American. They both use the same magazine type.
The rest was covered very well by Blastattack.

And neither did you Clarkiepew.
Trust me, the judgement has long before been passed.
To the rest, thanks for your info.
So to round it up, the BX 25 mag is illegal to use in any rifle, unless it is pinned to 10 rounds then?
