Best Answer

Tentatively, yes, although you should refer to the owner's manual for the manufacturer's stance before doing this. Depending on what action and feed system your rifle is, you may not be able to get .22 Long cartridges to feed from the magazine. However, if your rifle has a tubular magazine, this should not be a problem. Another possible problem to consider if you're using a semi-auto rifle is the possibility of short stroking, which may lead to stovepiping of the spent casing as it is ejected.

Only if its bolt,single shot,or lever action.Sorry no Auto-Loaders...

In most cases, a .22 short cartridge can be fired from a firearm with a .22 LR chamber.
