Application / Regulation advice PAL IN 30days

Hello everyone, and happy long weekend.
I wanted to share my timeline for the non-restricted and restricted PAL.
I applied online on April 4, 2026. My reference checks were completed the next day. By May 4, 2026, my licence was approved and shipped.
I received my PAL in my mailbox last Tuesday.

Thinking to start with mosseburg 88 from bass pro and than maybe break action. I want to do trap and skeet shooting.

Great choice, you can still find the field/security barrel combo some places

I think of just getting a 28 barrel 12g from Bass Pro. It’s
$100 discount and selling for $299.98 for now. I can use it to learn and later teach my wife. After a month, I want to buy a nice over and under only, and only exclusively for me lol.

88's are great all-rounders but if its skeet you want get yourself a good over/under. Pumps work but you get better followup not having to cycle the action and potentially lose your sweet spot.

An M88, a T3x, a TM22 or 10/22 and an SKS and you've got the 4 pillars of Canadian firearms...until you want more.
