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.

lol bro really says don’t wanna deal with mailed guns as I’m in the USA dying to have guns shipped to my house. One of the only things Canada got over the us, people like saying short shotguns but it’s probably easier and quicker to get a tax stamp in us then a PAL. Get a maverick 88 12 gauge for 300

You're bro-ing me in the 3rd person because I expressed a preference not to have to receive a gun via mail? What a loser attitude to be coming up in a post like that. Here I thought I would enjoy this community!

Hope I don't encounter more negative shit like that.

It’s not that deep bro damn I’m just bringing up a point in the community and also suggesting a an awsome versatile gun that’s only 300 dollars brand new from a reputable maker mossberg. Sorry if I offended you or came off any aggressive way. I think the community is chill I’ve been in it for years now I think your probably used to other parts of Reddit and assume I’m just an ass
