Hello all quick question regarding buying a restricted rifle in ON... is a range membership needed to get approved for a transfer? Or can I just list a range I'll eventually get a membership too? Not sure if I'll be able to get into a local one anytime soon due to long wait list

No range membership necessary in Ontario for a restricted transfer.

Although a range membership will eventually be required to shoot the firearm.
