Here are some more (mostly)12(X) photos, based on the largely positive response from the other day. This batch are the classic "Battle Rifles", developed during the 1950s and 60s for the Cold War era. Many continue to soldier on in remote battlefields worldwide to the present day. In chronological order they are:

​

- Russian SKS (1953-?)

​

- Metric FN FAL (1954-Present)

​

- Standard FN C1A1 (1956-1986)

​

- SIG Sturmgewehr 57 (1957-1990)

​

- USGI M14 (1957-1964)

​

- AI AR10 Sudanese variant (1958-1985)

​

- HK G3A3 (1959-1996)

​

- Beretta BM-59 (1959-1997)

​

- AI AR10 Portuguese variant (1960-1976)

Well, I grew up on the prairies. Guns were a tool, but I was always fascinated by my dad's Marlin .32 Winchester Special, Savage 99c .243, antique shotgun, and .22s (Cooey, Savage, etc).

I freed up a lot of time for shooting a few years ago, and got my PAL. Told my spouse that I " just want a .22 and a 12 gauge".

Fast forward to today and I'm 5 calibres and 5 digits deep, with 5 actions in this hobby. And I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. 😁

So here's the question: how many of you had a similar experience? And how many are happily shooting 2 calibres and loving this sport/hobby?

Get out and shoot safe this weekend.

​

There ya have it folks, if the LPC win this court battle, it’s scorched earth, war with every citizen who owns a restricted and police raids.

I purchased a T3X Ace Target in .223 2 months ago. The gun store doesn’t know when it will actually arrive, and said that they aren’t given any ETA information. Do all tikkas get made and shipped from Finland, or are there third parties besides the gun store involved. I want to reach out to somebody to have some kind of eta.

Found a deal on an RS 912 + 250 rounds for about $650 CAD + tax.
Not sure if it’s a “ha” or “nah” situation.

It’s a Turkish brand, and I’ve seen mixed reviews, but the price is honestly pretty tempting. I was originally looking at something used/surplus around the $800 range, so this being brand new for less feels like a good deal.

I know it’s not a premium “B gun” level, but I’m only planning to shoot clays on weekends, so I’m wondering if it would still hold up for maybe 2–3 years.

Resale gonna be hard tho for sure..
Curious what people think, grabbing it, or better to skip and keep saving?

My fightlite Mission Configurable Rifle has sat idle for 6 years now, and counting. Notwithstanding the rifle's appearance here fitted with a "belt" of plastic dummy rounds with rubber links, it is legally fired using 5 round magazines or 5 round mini-belts and is semi-automatic only. It is merely another semi-automatic AR15 variant with a unique (and quitefascinating) dual-feed system. No need to get overly excited, there Poly.....

Just finished up my new duelling tree.
8 6” paddles.
Now to find the time to get out and test it out.

Beauty day to be out. First time out with the Henry!

Or maybe you have - idfk. But during the buying process it was incredibly hard to find any information regarding this chassis outside of the manufacturers website and a small handful of youtube videos, which still left me with a lot of questions. Posting it here in case anyone else is interested in doing a similar build.

Are you in the market for a tacticool .22LR that isnt turkish made? Or perhaps you are wanting to deck out your 10/22 and want options beyond a plastic promag chassis, midwest, or spectre? (not trying to diss the SBI stocks, they are absolutely gorgeous but weren’t quite what i was looking for) Then look no further!

The build;

Jäger PMC chassis in FDE

12.5” Acculite barrel

Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock

Magpul MOE-K2 grip

SBI 10/22 rem 597 adaptor

Amazon Feyachi RSL-18 Reflex sight

OAL 28.25”

Overall extremely pleased with the way this build turned out. The chassis is made of aluminum and is super sturdy & well built. The Magpul MOE k2 grip was the wrong choice, and as you can probably see in the picture, I had to cut it down a little bit (I will be replacing in the future). Originally went with the fixed stock due to worries about my OAL, and with the lack of measurements available online I didnt want to chance it. Knowing what I know now, ill most likely be replacing the buttstock down the road.

Does anyone know of any crown land spots to shoot close to Barrie ?

Hey all!

Hopefully this ain’t breaking the rules, but we’ve dropped a small selection of HMB barrelled actions factory seconds on the website (under the barrelled action on the header).

This is for fathers day, so get your dad something he won’t forget, quantities are limited, so be quick!

Wondering if an lpvo would be good just using for target shooting setup for short to medium distance don’t think I will shoot to far out with it

Hey everyone,
Couple buddies and I recently got out for some long-range shooting in BC and managed to stretch things out to 1,200 meters. We filmed the entire session, including target impacts, spotting, corrections, and some of the challenges we ran into with wind and conditions.
We’re a new channel and this is our first video, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from more experienced shooters on our setup, shooting technique, video format, or anything else you notice.

Rifle/Caliber: Accuracy international AX in 308,
Sako TRG in 308 and Timberwolf C14 in 338 Lapua Mag
Optic: Steiner, US Optics and Nightforce
Distance: 1,200m
Location: British Columbia, Canada
What would you have done differently at that distance?
Thanks for watching and stay safe.

I got these from a gun show near Winnipeg a few months ago. I painted it yellow and blasted it with my sks at 50 yards. I love not having to reset the target.

I wish I could give credit to the maker. I don't remember who it was.

Hearing the ring is oh so satisfying.

Just got a brand new Benelli M2. Had to return others due to machining defects in the sights and reciever (dents that have the factory finish over them)

​

Newest example i got has some of the worst machining mistakes I have seen around the barrel ring.

​

Stoeger customer support told me to kick rocks and it wouldn't be covered by warranty. I suppose it is cosmetic, but for a $2000+ premium shotgun, I expected more.

​

I've seen a lot of people talk down on turkish guns, but so far italian manufacturing has left a lot to be desired.

​

Anyway, if anyone has any recommendations for touching up the finish and gap on the side (picture 3) i would appreciate it.

New (to me) is this OIC 12(5) HK-93 5.56mm/.223 cal Sporting/Utility Rifle, purchased through Switzer's April 2026 Auction. It accepts proprietary 25, 30 and 40-round 5.56mm magazines, the latter being aluminum manufacture for light weight. Note the original South African ARMSON-brand Occluded-Eye Gunsight (OEG) in the 2nd photo, which was effectively the world's first mass-produced "red dot" sight in which one eye sees the dot on a black background and the other eye sees the target and surrounding terrain, over which the red dot appears. It takes some practice, but works quite well with some basic familiarity.

A recent new (to me) arrival from Switzer's February 2026 Auction is this Russian-manufactured, 1953 production AK-47 Type 2 Assault Rifle. This particular example is an OIC 12(3) firearm, having been converted from select-fire to semi-automatic only. The Type 2 AK-47 is distinguished by its receiver being milled from a solid block of steel, and by the external Socket provided for the Buttstock attachment to the rest of the rifle. The stocks are carved from solid wood and have somewhat different contours from the later AKM furniture that I am familiar with. The buttstock in particular is narrower in profile than that of its later contemporaries. Whether this was related to the diameter of available lumber I cannot say, but this is entirely possible. In any event, the Buttstock is certainly different, with its inlaid, metal, Stalin "Flag" pin.

If one thing stands out about this particular AK-47, it is the quality of the machine work that went into its production. The machining is performed to a very high standard, with zero internal or external tooling marks. Every surface is smooth and contoured to perfectly mate with the surrounding metal surfaces. Very impressive work, indeed!

Never seen anything like this. Sent them a email inquiring. Only noticed it after my bolt wouldn't close while reloading yesterday. Not sure how this passed by QC.

Bought this gun with the 28" field barrel for only $700. Why buy a $1000 turknelli when you can get one from a reputable company for less.

​

18.5" cylinder bore $400

Enlarged bolt handle and bolt release $55

Holosun 407c $350

RMR baseplate $40

+2 mag extension $80

Fenix quick release flaslight clamp: $80

Fenix PD35R $150

Fenix remote switch $20

Match saver: $12

​

The gun with the 28" field barrel will feed anything from low brass 7/8oz target loads all the way to 1½oz turkey loads flawlessly. It also patterns turkey loads to 75 yards.

​

With the 18.5" barrel it has some hangups on target loads below 1oz but that's about it. It's 4moa at 100 yards with Remington 3" 1oz rifled slugs.

​

Got this very nice Russian Berdan II at auction last weekend. I'd been looking for a nice complete example for years, most of the ones in Canada have had the chambers drilled and plugged for some reason. This one still had the original blueing around the chamber area so I knew it was unmolested.

This parts-complete example was made at Izhevsk in 1883, it still shows a lot of the original blueing with handling marks but the bore looks brand new and it has the correct post russo-turkish war front and rear volley sights. Other than the bolt, which is also Izhevsk made, it is all matching. I found it pretty cool that the stock channel has the matching serial handwritten in graphite.

Any suggestions for a Shotgun red dot? I am looking for one with a 2moa dot and 32moa circle. Must be able to be mounted on a pic rail.

​

What do you guys have and suggest? Open to Amazon if proven to be reliable.

I love it when you guys post your $8000 rifles and $7000 scopes so I can show my wife and be like "look hun, this guy's scope costs more than all 4 of my guns... maybe i'm.not that bad after all " 😂
