Looking for advice

2. Maple Ridge Armoury, Renegade MKII - Straight-Pull Rifle, 16.0" Nitride Barrel, 300

4. Brigade Mfg. MAKASI MK-15 Rifle, 5.56MM 18.60" Barrel, Short-Stroke Pis-ton, 12.00" M-LOK Handguard, Black

Personally,  I'd be buying a 22lr rifle for cheap trigger practice 

Then? Geez man you have expensive taste. How are you affording these?

I'd skip the Ruger bolty, and instead get a Tikka 6.5 creedmoor for a grand less.

As for the KSG, I'd probably rather do the KS7 for 700 bucks. Lots of money saved, still plenty of capacity and simpler design while still being a cool bullpup pump shotgun.

Though, I'd likely go with the Makasi and skip the BacklandHunter. The Makasi has an Frt with the RCMP, so banning it requires more work from the government. The Backland hunter could be banned from any RCMP getting a hold of it and deciding it was prohibited. If you needed a cheaper option, I'd honestly just grab a Turkish 223 for cheaper. They actually have been in use longer as they be been used in Australia for a decent amount of time.  Or just get an sks for a vintage classic look.

Mapleridge straight pull, I'm not against. It's probably the cheapest and best way to get a modern looking gun with a short barrel. Any reason for 300 blackout over other calibers?  223 is going to be cheaper. 7.62 x39 is going to be cheaper. 300 blackout is sadly barely cheaper than cheap 308 ammo.

The Canuck has good warrantee here in Canada, though folks will not often like that its made in Turkey. I think it's alright. The company is good, the warranty is good and if it has a problem, they  will take care of you.

As far as dropping 10k on guns? I wouldn't do that. I space it out. But if you are rolling in money, I won't stop you. Just stay within your means and don't be going into debt for funs. Economy is rough out there.

My man, we live in a country where you can earn whatever you want as long as you’re willing to put in the effort and the time — need a new rifle, just work overtime or get a second job haha. But seriously, I think I’m just excited and everything cool feels a bit overpriced. I hear you — I thought about the KS7, but I think I’ve decided the dual-tube magazine is better.

Yeah, skipping the Backland Hunter and going for the Makasi seems to be the consensus, so I’ll likely drop the Backland Hunter. Kind of sad because I really like the design on that one.

The reason behind the .300 Blackout is that, dumb me, I thought I might be able to use it for deer hunting?

No that's fair,  I picked up the 7 62 x39 version of the CZ600 trail instead of 223 for the same reason. Technically 223 is now legal  for deer where i live, but it used to not be, and i wanted something  better if i went deer hunting. I will say, a compact modern bolt action is pretty fun and handy. I usually go more traditional,  but the CZ trail has me enjoying the modern design, folding stock and full length rail.

As far as the KSG, you will certainly have a unique a special shotgun out of it! Keltec makes some wild fun designs
