First gun help!

[u/Mr_Nuclear1]

Hey all, just recently upgraded my minors licence to a full PAL (and soon RPAL 🤞)

Now I’m in the market to buy my first firearm, now fortunately I have a family friend / uncle who has graciously allowed me full access to his arsenal, and I’m looking for an addition that both makes sense as a first gun, but doesn’t overlap with his collection

TM22
Maverick 88
Old Beretta SA 12ga
308, 303, 30-06 bolts (hunting guns)
30-30 win lever

Budget is ~1300 CAD (ignoring tax)
If there’s something greatly better that’s a bit more, I def could continue saving!

I was looking at a few guns, Panzer M4, any 357 lever, Deerya 9mm pump, Sks?

I have been participating in clay sports and F class /PRS with loaners, but long range diciplines seem to be a bit outside my budget unfortunately, I’m hopping to one day be able to participate in dynamic shotgun sports (if IPSC Ontario gets of their f asses and makes a course…)

I am ready to be humbled on my suggestions, please send help 😆
