Buy recommendations Suggested Websites to Purchase

Just got an update on pal application and it’s approved and getting mailed out. Just doing some early searching so I’m ready to pull the trigger on something once the license is in hand. Any suggestions on website? As of right now I’ve been scouting out firearms outlet.

Tenda is good for ammo, they ship slow though but it's free so.

Canada shooting centre, RDSC, G4C, Tesro are all good outlets I've used personally.

https://www.maplegun.ca/ is the newest aggregate site if you want to search for deals.

If you're new to ownership, I recommend grabbing a 10/22 (and an SKS and a mossberg depending on your wallet). Don't forget hearing and eye pro as well.

https://almostprohibited.ca is another good aggregate site

Hearing and eye pro? Like protection?

Yes. Once you damage your hearing, it's damaged forever. I recommend electronic cups (something like razor walkers to start) and foamies under that (mandatory for indoor ranges imo).

Safety glasses from any vendor should suffice (csa rated ideally).

The important thing is they fit and they're comfortable so that you'll wear them and you'll be comfortable at the range.

For basic budget electronic cups, Howard Leight Impact Sport earcups are in the same general price range as Walkers Razors and just a nicer experience (stereo sound instead of mono, amongst other things), so that's what I would recommend if someone wants budget earpro.

I've heard good things about them. I used my razors for years and then splurged for swatcom active 8s which was night and day.

Yeah, cheap electronic earpro is "fine" but good electronic earpro is awesome. Sordins are a similar night and day experience.

Cabelas usually has sales pretty often on good electronic hearing protection, I think they go down to around $50 if I rememeber
