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.

Stittsville Shooting Ranges usually has a bunch of used guns on consignment.
That Hunting and Fishing Store is always worth a look.
SFRC near Kingston (bit of a drive, but worth it if you happen to be going by anyway) though they mostly have new firearms but do have some used guns too.
Gunpost as everyone else mentioned.
Canadian Gun Nutz is also an option but has more hoops to jump through for verification as a buyer/seller.
Ask around at local gun ranges, some have physical boards with sale ads by members. EOSC, Stittsville, RA Centre Gun Club, etc.
Marstar has limited used guns, mostly stupidly expensive antiques, and doesn't have a storefront, but they're local-ish.
Great North Gun Co / GNG Surplus in Outauais, QC has a bunch of used and surplus firearms but no storefront.
Cabela's doesn't have anything used, but you can pick up a "cheap" bolt action .22 for a few hundred bucks.
Same deal with SAIL.
Same deal with rural Canadian Tires. Occasionally they have clearance sales (picked up a Ruger American Predator for $400) and a lot don't update their prices to match online stores (picked up a Ruger 10/22 Takedown for $500). But they have no online inventory so you have to know which locations sell guns and visit them in-person to see what they have.
