Buy recommendations Help me splurge!!! 💸

Hey guys - it finally looks like I'll have my PAL/RPAL in hand this week based on the update on my RCMP Profile.

I've been to a store to browse around but it's pretty overwhelming especially as someone new in the hobby.

I do want to stock up on a few different types, I know I'll be in the range quite a bit and think they're just beautiful in general.

I've also been looking at a lot of the reviews here on Reddit but I'm looking to see if I could get some consolidated feedback from this community before I "pull the trigger" 😫 on these purchases. Here's what I'm considering:

1) EGE Panzer M4 Speed Pro (12GA Semi)

2) Federation Firearms GK12 Gatekeeper Pump (12GA Pump)

3) Adler Arms RF224 (11.7")

4) Derya TM22 (18 or 16") - **I've seen quite a bit of mixed reviews on these. Also not sure if I should just wait for 18" to be in stock.

5) ATI SKS w Folding Stock

6) S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter - **Not sure what caliber/ammo I should go for

let me know your thoughts!

Buy a nova 3 or a Mossberg 590a1 for pump, get a tikka bolt action of your choice, for semi get a benelli m2. Most importantly get a french tickler sks.

I’ll echo the other advice, Turkish delights never last long if you use them hard.

-I’d get a 14” 590a1 or a shockwave and install a SGA stock. -Beretta 1301 for semi (it’s better for 99% of people) coming from a guy with an M4. M4 or M2 are great choices as well of course.

  • Ruger 10/22 of some flavour, or build a sbr.
  • Maybe a tikka bolt gun in your caliber of choice.
  • SKS for fun mag dumps

Not particularly in that order.
