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!

I want #1 (EGE Panzer M4 Speed Pro). Have my eye on it and plan to get one.
Save your money on Adler RF224. Very few of us can get them to run reliably. I know many people who own one, including myself. And only one person has it running reliably enough to compete with. And we are making various mods to fix the problem with no success. So skip that one.
I have Derya TM22 (18") and love it. Super reliable .22. Literally no stoppages unless operator error. I know other people having same experience with that gun. So no mistake there. Derya Feather with 12" barrel supposed to be arriving in Canada in June. I'll get one for the barrel and put it on my metal Derya.
