I'd start with the SKS as they present a great value but also seem to be increasing in price at a higher rate than most other firearms.

Grab a bolt gun and shotgun after the sks to round out the trio.

9mm PCC and .223 Semi auto would be my next choices, followed by a lever for plinking (.357) and a larger hunting lever (30-30/45-70).

I do have a question on this topic so if I buy say a tavor and it becomes prohib about a week after what’s the course of action from then on I’m genuinely scared of investing into anything the gov deems “scary” and don’t want to drop 2k on a decent gun only for it to become illegal to own afterwards

If it's prohibited it will legally become a safe queen until some point in the future where the LPC actually puts together a buy back (very unlikely) or we see a change in government which will reverse these bans.

You're not a typical Canadian Gun owner until you have atleast 1 or 2 prohibs in your gun safe waiting for better days.

Buy and enjoy what you want now, no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
