In WA is there a limit to how many rounds can be in a rifle?

[sportsbud]

I am a new hunter fresh out of Hunters ed., I know that when going for birds the shotgun can only be 2+1, but I cant remember if the rifles had a limit on the number of rounds they can hold, I am asking because I have a couple of rifles that can hold more than 5 rounds, and yet are still good for hunting. I just would like a refresher in what is legal here in Washington, as on my first deer hunt I don't want to do something illegal.

I think there used to be a 5 round cap. max but they did away with it a couple years ago. Take this info at face value and get ahold of the right people at the state an get legit info

I dont think we have a round limit, so pull out th 30 rd clip and let the AR make some noise

No limit to number of rounds in rifles, just in shotguns while hunting game birds.  Like you said, your shotgun can not be capable of holding more than 3 shells.

Thank you that means I can get a removable mag for my sks and make those coyotes pay...

Try being a better shooter instead, it's reckless to just open fire with a mag full of ammo and chase coyotes with it, not to mention irresponsible. Maybe a nice single shot rifle would get you into the right state of mind for real hunting instead of the Rambo'ish attitude

Reckless, irresponsible, and Rambo'ish.

There you have it folks, get a single shot rifle and do some "real hunting"...anything more is just all of the above.

Falfire, you continue to amaze me.

I agree with miles.  I don't see where hunting dogs with a sks is reckless, irresponsible, or Rambo'ish.  How is it different than hunting with an AR?

Ya i usually hunt with a bolt action but just got an ar so i can

Only while hunting though... to the best of my knowledge

I don't see the problem either, if it's reckless to shoot in a direction it isn't any less so with a bolt action. I would probably stick with the stock sks magazine myself just for easier handling.

I fully agree.
