Misc RIP IRUNGUNS
This is a rant...
I've been an IRUNGUNS customer for over 7 years... I am no longer. It used to be that you could get cool stuff through them and often pricing was comparable to Canadian sites when items became available. Lifetime spend is just under $5K Canadian + fees and shipping. I'm not a whale to them.
I ordered a Henry Supreme IN JUNE from them because the chambering I wanted wasn't yet available at a Canadian retailer. Had I waited 2 weeks I would have bought the same rifle at TENDA for significantly less... Instead I'm still waiting for my gun and I'm out over $400 extra.
I'll survive. But I'll never buy from iRG again.

I mean, the price you pay is on you.
The wait time does seem a bit much though.
Edit” I do want to also add that they offer a specific service dude. That service is getting things into Canada that are not readily available here. They make it known that it often takes time to have stuff arrive, and they are ultimately at the mercy of CBSA.
I’m not saying this is your fault, in fact it’s no one’s fault. But in reality, you should have called around to see who was getting what you want in at some point and if you had done so, you would have known tenda would be getting it in soon. IRG ultimately is doing there job; bringing in a product that you wanted across the boarder JUST for you, and ONLY for you. This means that they do no have bulk buying discounts, plus they have the import fees, whatever bullshit tariffs/duties might apply, have to deal with CBSA, the transport and logistics costs, all for your one single rifle.
This is ultimately a service meant for things you can’t easily find in Canada. Not for something you are wanting to buy fast.
Before it was banned, I was considering getting a HCAR (Heavy Counter Assault Rifle) from the states. They run about $8,000CAD and are based on the BAR platform chambered in 30-06 with DBM’s. No one had them in Canada, but if I were to get one, it would have been through them because no one else carried it. It was made clear to me that it would be a while to show up and would cost money just to get brought up here. The costs were not hidden from me. I’m sorry you’re having a bad time with this but it really is just the way that sort of service works.
