Ruger Precision Rifle in NY

[Gooseslayer88]

Hello all (first post on here),

I recently moved to upstate NY from down south and am very much a gun enthusiast. Realizing the ridiculous gun laws up here, are there any issues with owning a RPR .308 in this area?

GTG it is a bolt-action with a 10 rd magazine.

No. you're GTG.
The RPR is a bolt action rifle.

Just make sure you use a 5 round magazine if you take it hunting. No 10 round mags allowed when hunting in NY State.

Only issue I've had is burning out barrels.

Are you sure it is no 10 round mags or only 5 in the magazine?

just drop a dowel inside the 10 rnd mag and block it to 5 like you do with a shot gun for fowl .. problem solved ..

5+1 rounds pertains to semi autos as I understand it .

It is illegal to hunt big game with:

• a fully automatic firearm;
• an autoloading firearm that holds more than 6 shells (except an autoloading pistol with a barrel length under 8 inches);
• any firearm equipped with a silencer; or
• an air gun or air bow.

This isnt correct as far as all the crap Ive read on the DEC website. Its only correct if you are using a semi-auto. If you think Im wrong, please point me to the spot on the DEC website that states what you wrote. What BMF JK posted is what Ive read.

I stand corrected. Th round limit applies to semi-auto only.

Dang, im happy there was a fresh new war to fight when I was in the Army.
I was better off in Afghanistan than New Yorkistan.

Fort Drum! Y'all know of any 100-300 yard ranges upstate here?

 

[Jaywmustang]

Leatherstocking club has 200 yards. About a hour south of drum

You are good but dont shoot too fast otherwise they might reclassify it as an "assault fully automatic bolt acton weapon of war".

 

[RomanRider]

Off topic but be careful if you drive down Rt. 26 in the winter, the ditch between my yard and Rt. 26 tends to suck in Fort Drum folks who aren't so used to driving in NY winters!
