It was a tough call. I know. I'm shirking my Canadian duties.

Naw, the Garand was designed by a Canadian. It's awesome and I love mine.

You gotta get a Lee Enfield Long Branch next to complete your Allied anti-fascist collection.

Nice. But to be a Canadian gun owner, you need to do as below. Please be aware that 1 and 3 are non negotiable 1. Take off your socks 2. Buy the Holy trinity of guns: a .22LR, a 12G shotgun and a SKS 3. Take off your socks

The Garand is a superior replacement over the SKS. It's the more historic, higher capacity option. Also designed by a Canadian.

You can have two things, but the SKS is a very Canadian rifle for being a Soviet design.

They can try to ban sks but that should not stop people buying it. You will kick yourself if you don’t buy a SKS when you still can, the price is increasing everyday
this government will ban all guns in the future so no guns are safe. The new Canadian gun trinity will be your fingers, a random stick on the street and nerf blaster.
Joke aside, get a good bolt action in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor

Then you could try a MRA Renegade MkII. I got one, it is a coped gun and very accurate:)
Cz600 is a good gun but they are getting a lot of hate these days.
Otherwise, Tikka t3X ctr in .223/5.56 will be a great choice too

It was completely reconditioned. The gun is basically mint inside and out. Listed for $4K but it came with other goodies.

That's the way it is done. Took me 3 years of PAL to get one. No ragrets.

I wish I had the financial freedom to grab a Garand as my first. 10/10 no notes.

u/Scary-Assistance-927 Mar 13 '26
I didn't exactly have it, but figured why spend more in the long run on things I sort of want versus getting exactly what I wanted. I've shot my wad for a while.

My pal is taking so long to fucking come in. I’ve been setting aside every bit of cash I make on odd jobs through the winter so that as soon as it come in I can go buy my first two.
At this point that was of cash is talking to me. I just want my damn guns😫

Weird! From the day of my course to the day I received my PAL it was about 2.5 months.

Nice! I own a 30-06 M1, and I love it dearly.
If you intend to shoot it a lot, may want to consider reloading to save some $$$ and more importantly; have fun.

Im saving up and waiting for a 308 model. I heard 308 models dont need special ammo like the 30.06? Can anyone confirm?
2
u/Scary-Assistance-927 Mar 14 '26
I've been told 147gr .308 / 7.62x51 surplus is perfect for it. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

u/siming_z Mar 15 '26
The 308 Garand is my first rifle as well, don’t wait, the sooner you shoot it the sooner you’ll realize how superior this rifle is compared to an SKS; ever since owning a Garand, my desire to buy an overpriced common SKS constantly dwindles
