Someone needs to clarify this

[u/DiPowa]

I own a Ruger American .22LR that came with a 10-round rotary mag. I’ve heard that bolt-action rimfire can have up to 15 rounds (like the BX-15). The store told me that CZ rimfires come with 15-round mags, creating a gray area for other 15-round mags. They also mentioned 15-round mags aren’t inherently illegal in Victoria, but Ruger removed them from factory because of their “tactical look,” not because of the round count.

Can someone clarify? In Victoria, if I get a 15-round mag, can I legally own it? Has anyone been questioned during a safe check for owning a 15-round mag, or was it fine?

Store is talking shit. CZ have not created a grey area. The limit is 15 in cat A.

It's also 15 in a Cat B, excluding pump actions.

[u/Mellor88 → u/ThatAussieGunGuy]

Yup. Didn't mentioned cat B as there's multiple limits. And varies Vic to NSW.

Whereas, Cat A that OP asked about is straight forward.

[u/ThatAussieGunGuy → u/Mellor88]

But OP did specify Victoria lol

[u/Mellor88 → u/ThatAussieGunGuy]

He also specified cat A

In the comments? Or am I blind and can't see it in the post.

In the first sentence, requires joining the dots

I own a Ruger American .22LR...

[u/ThatAussieGunGuy → u/Mellor88]

Yes, but no. I will accept mild retardation on my part.
