I definitely have a problem.

Definitely have spare income, and enjoy your hobby. Rather than blowing it all on smoke, booze, and food delivery.

How is the Canuck Evolve 357?

Had quite a few light strikes with pmc ammo using double action first time out. No light strikes using single action. Tried my friends sellier and bellot and didnt have any light strikes. Although I seen another post of a guy using pmc with no light strikes so it may be an issue with mine. I need to get more time with it and see. Other than that its really fun to shoot and feels well made. You get a little heat on the face but nothing towards the handgaurd.

How's your experience been with the Henry Homesteader? Ill be getting my PAL this fall and have been looking at getting one. I've heard that it can be sort of unreliable.

Ive had the glock magwell adapter crack twice, both times henry warranty sent me a new in around a month. Dealing with the canadian warranty provider for henry was amazing, he replied to my email in under 20 minutes. We spoke on the phone the second time and he told me he has only seen this issue a few times since the gun was released. He called the U.S henry warranty provider and they said they've never seen it happen twice to one person and not many happen at all. So idk, I didnt do anything other than shoot it normally or mag dump it sometimes. The good thing is if the glock magwell adapter breaks I just use the henry one instead but it only takes 5 rounds and I only have one mag. But other than that, ive never had a jam or misfire or any other issue.
Other than that I love the gun, its fun to shoot steel with. Ive probally shot about 1000 rounds through it.

I’ve had mine for about four months now. It shoots very smoothly, and I’ve put over 2,000 rounds through it without any issues at all. I’ve been very happy with it

Looking good, doesnt take long in the hobby to amass a collection. What barrel attachment do you have on your tm22?
2
u/Igotik 9d ago
Its the tommy enterprise faux suppressor. The handgaurd as well. For the tm22 they have held up but i would go with tna faux suppressor if I could go back.

u/SpaceZombieZombie 9d ago
Thanks for the info, ive been looking at the tna faux suppressor, currently sold out butnits the one I'll probably end up getting.

For people with scopes not red dots on the tm22 how the hell do u clean It unless u have clearance for ur top cover bolts
Take the scope off just to clean the gun?
1
u/Igotik 9d ago
Yeh i take off the scope and mark where it was mounted. But honestly im going to replace it with a red dot. It was my first gun and the gun range recommended the scope, I had no idea what I was doing then. For what the gun is and what I use it for a red dot would be way more practical.

u/GreazyJoe 9d ago
Just slap a vortex triumph or a riton X1 ARD on it and call it a day. I wouldn't count on a TM22 doing any better on a $500+ red dot.

Is the revolver in 410 or one of those new 357/38 models? How do you like it?
I sorta want one just so I can play around with a "revolver", but worried it would just be another impulse buy I'd never use. I do have a ton of 357 though already from a lever action, but I also worry about the aluminum frame and 357 gas cutting it pretty quickÂ

Hey I have that silly mag fed Pump Action 12g where did you get the foregrip for it?

u/Successful_man_797 6d ago
That Chinese .22 is very accurate. Got it for $200.

u/Western_Wish4280 9d ago
Bro can you please do a list of what you have? I am genuinely curious of numbers 3,4,7,9 from the top

u/Igotik 9d ago
For #9 the scorpio, its a $220 gun but man is it fun to shoot. Its super accurate and everyone who shoots it wants one. It honestly suprised me and surpassed all my expectations. But make sure to get the scorpio EM332X and not the em33a. The x comes with the picatinny rail and a better bolt know.

u/Iokua_CDN 9d ago
Scorpio is fun??? Been thinking how fun a shortie bolt action 22 would be, my other 22 is a big long barrel gun.
Can you tell me a bit more about why you like it so much? And maybe how it compares fun wise to like your tm22? Been thinking of one of those as well

Yeh it is super fun to shoot. I find shooting with a bolt action satisfying, kinda like driving a manual car. You are more involved in the shooting. The scorpio action is short and smooth, you can shoot pretty fast with it. Its surprisingly accurate, if im steady I can get pretty tight groupings. Its accurate enought to shoot the clay fragments people leave on the berm. I have also shot it at 200 yards and hit steel with it. The tm22 is also fun but if I had to choose between them i would choose the scorpio. With the tm22 i find i unload a few mags on the steel and put it down, the scorpio i can shoot for an hour and still want more. When I started shooting I wanted semi autos, but the more I shoot the more I enjoy bolt and lever actions.

u/Iokua_CDN 8d ago
Thank you!!! I totally understand that feeling. My big old 22 bolt action, I can spend a long time trying to work the bolt as fast as I can and ring targets. My only semi auto, my sks, Gets significantly less target time, now even falling behind my 357 lever, and my new 7.62 x39 bolt action
