silly rimfire question

[motoman]

i know there is no limit to how many bullets a rimfire can hold but what about hunting.i would be using a bolt action 9 shot or a ruger 10/22 with a hi cap clip is there a limit to that hunting in ontario. i diden,t remember them covering this in my hunting course just about centerfires and what i remember a bolt action can hold 10 rounds and semi can hold 5. correct me if im wrong. thanks

There is no limit that I know of? But I'm not in Ontario, sorry

i dont think there is any capacity on bolt actions.

But, yeah I dont think there is any capacity issues either on rimfires.

It is to my understanding that there is no limit on the amount of ammo in a rimfire rifle while hunting, therefore it would be legal to hunt with a 50 round clip on your 10/22.

I know of a cop friend that uses his with a 50 round clip while rabbit hunting.

as far as i knowq theres now limit on the amount of rounds in your MAG
in ontario for rimfire and bolt actions semi auto centerfire rifles are limited to 5 and shotguns are 3 *2+1 hot*

There's no law to Rimfire mag limits.

If a cop does it... it MUST be legal...right?!?!?!

There is no restriction on rimfire clip/capacity while hunting in Ontario.

In Bc there's no limit on rimfiremag size. I just bought a 25rd clip for plinker from reliable gun. I'm pretty sure it's only centerfire that has the 5rd limit and then with shotguns its 2+1 for hunting. I'm not sure what the rule is for target shooting with shotguns. Anybody else know?

I believe there is a mag limit (beyond the 5 semi-auto rule) only when hunting migratory birds... Not sure if that's center-fire only (shotguns) or if it applies to rimfire as well...

You can't hunt game-species migratory birds with rimfire anyway.

give him a break, at least ho took the time to search for a thread relating to his question. Even if it is a 6 year dead thread.

 

[pilot24]

no limit,

but really not sure why you would need a high cap mag for hunting??
You'll probably find they're a pain to carry in thick brush where the rabbits are
If you haven't connected after lets say a 10 round clip... rabbit deserves to live
