Buy recommendations Used market near Ottawa?

My PAL/RPAL arrived last week - YAY!!!

Was thinking about picking up a used LR 22 bolt action rifle to get started...and save my $ for a shotgun and higher power rifle.

What are the good sites that I can search locally? Don't want to deal with mailed guns. Would want to drive to location, have a look at, etc.

Also, feel free to talk me out of this. Just figured there might be a few folks who have bought new and quickly moved on up.

Gun post and filter for Ottawa. But it seems a lot of people think guns increase in value on the used market. So cheap deals are hard to find.

I see one guy in the Ottawa area selling ammo at above market rate. Like as if he's done a service of ordering it and letting you pick a few boxes up from him.

Edit: for example he's selling 1000 rounds of cci mini mag for 180 dollars. They are 16 dollars plus tax (18.07 after tax) per 100 at Cabela's. Basically the same price per round but you can buy them in smaller amounts from a real store. If you buy bulk from a real online store it's going to be like 14 cents per round or less

Low ball everyone. Nuts to offending people.
