Question on hunting with .22lr

Do you think any MNR officer would have a problem with the mossberg 715t? its a Plinkster in cased in a AR15 plastic shell. The clips look like AR mags. Would it be ok to use? or better off to buy a different one.

My uncles got one. We ran unto MNR in the Holland marsh. No problems at all..
The mags are garbage however..

yes they are i find the spring weak, i purchased a 7 round clip online works great no feed problems.

I would think you'd have to worry about general public and police first. They see anything that resembles an AR platform and the phone starts to ring!

Pretty much. Totally legal but if the wrong person sees you it might be a headache.

I have one you can hunt with it. I took mine out a few times. Persoanl opinion it's a piece of crap jams all the time and accuracy there is none.

Agreed. I wanted one last year and shot my buddies 715t at the farm. Crap I tell ya. Don't buy one. You will be fixing jams more than shooting. If you want a good 22 pick up a ruger 10/22. Reliable and can be accessorized to the hilt.

I find the jams on it are due to the cheap metal of the magazine.. The rounds seem to get caught up in it. They are really week tin.. And get bet inwards if your not EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the mag. For the $300 look elsewhere.

My uncle has one of those 715t and it was great up until a few months ago then the magazine went to crap, meanwhile my ruger 10/22 is still working good and hes a little jealous

^everything these guys said. You're probably not looking for commentary on the quality of your rifle, but for the amount of headaches an AR-looking rifle might cause, I'd use something else. Personally, I'd suggest a Marlin 795 or Marlin 60 over a Ruger 10/22, but that's me. Reliable enough, just not accurate enough. For close range, it would be fine.
