I suppose it depends what it costed you to join the draw, and whether you're *more* interested in something else you could sell and put the money towards.

u/Careless_Ad_21 May 12 '26
Exactly. If you have some other preference, sell that one and get what you want.

They aren’t like a .308 precision rifle by any stretch but they’re still pretty cool. They look cool at least, could be a decent big game hunting option if you’re looking into that. I’m personally just not a huge fan of straight pulls, but hey man a free gun is a free gun! The issue with selling it is that I doubt you’d find someone to buy it for its retail value, but I could be wrong and also hey, cash is cash and it’s a net positive for you anyways. If there’s a gun you’re looking to get that you want more than this then I’d think about selling it.
Me personally, I’d keep it. I only buy never sell lol, my old boss gave me for free a super nice 20 gauge over under. I could easily sell it and pay for a good chunk of my tuition next year and I barely use it, but more guns in my safe = me being happier, if you have the same mindset I’d advice against selling.

I want to buy one man, but let’s be honest, it’s Gonna get banned, you’re flushing money down the drain man
I’d rather own a bunch of guns I can use whenever I want then spend $2500 on something to be able to use it a few times

IIRC, they're pretty customizable. You could just hang onto it for a bit and see if any inspiration hits you. Unless you'd rather flip it for some cash.

u/ExplorerEnjoyer May 12 '26
Not my thing but I heard they’re decent. If you don’t like it there’s many people who will buy it

I’ll put it this way: an expensive gun is alright, a cheap gun is pretty decent, a free gun? Pfft you best believe I’m keeping that thing.
I’d have zero qualms about it getting all dinged up and scuffed. That thing would easily be the gun that’s tossed around like a rag doll.

Where can one enter a draw like that?

u/bananahammock_69420 May 14 '26
That hunting store in Richmond ontario does daily draws they ship I believe.

u/BlandRusk06 May 17 '26
Ok. Is the name ‘That Hunting Store’? And can I enter if I live elsewhere in the country?

u/blueline731 May 13 '26
I’d keep it for sure. A great rifle to help build your collection. I’m looking for one myself.

u/walebrush May 13 '26

No it's not, but I'll happily take it off your hands for $100.
(In case it isn't obvious, NO REDDIT, I'm not serious about buying guns)
On a serious note, it's basically a bolt action AR10. Not meant to be the most accurate, but it surely will be very customizable and heck, you got it for cheap when this rifle is like $2K.

u/swift_gilford May 13 '26
Personally i think they're really neat for what they are and rarely hear any complaints about them.
I just don't currently have a use for one so personally if i won it i'd sell it to fund other projects i have going on.

They're pretty desirable, if you don't think so, sell it. Buy something new and exciting, or buy a nice scope or ammo.

yes for sure. It’s a great ar15 cope rifle if you are feeling tactical. You’re very lucky to win something like that in a draw
