Gun and gear reviews First rifle

Post image

Finally got my first rifle. 1917 SMLE in amazing condition. Already looking at a .22 to just poke holes and have fun with!

A .22 to poke holes, and the lee Enfield to annihilate whatever remains. You should grab a Cooey model 60, if you want to continue the Canadian firearms collection. Cheap as hell, and really accurate.

Just looked at the model 60, seems really cool. I was however thinking of a Henry repeater

Henry golden boys are cool, but like others have said, a cooey for $150 is a crazy utility rifle and pure canadiana. Mine has dispatched many pests in the vegetable garden. You can even buy a weaver side mount for them to mount modern optics (mine has a vortex vanquish on it, purely because I could)
