Just wanted to share my build! This is my first rifle, haven't even had the chance to shoot it since I put the scope and bipod on it but I am really happy with the look.

I really wish there was more opportunity for customization, like on the hand guard. I have seen an aftermarket option from Tommy Enterprises but I have not heard good things about it.

Just checked out GoTenda Calgary for the soft opening this morning. Holy shit, the warehouse and storefront are HUGE 😂 It feels way bigger than the Toronto location.
Not a ton of guns on the shelves yet, but I’m guessing they’re still getting everything stocked. The whole place is honestly pretty crazy to see in person.
Calgary finally got a big one 👀

Good morning (From west coast) to the glorious Shitposting Saturday!

Go out and shoot!

Picked this up last week, just arrived the other day. Got it on sale for a good price new. Collapsing stock models were sold out, but I actually kind of dig the fixed stock on it. It can be slightly adjusted for LOP too with a spacer. Now my second 223 semi, and soon to be 3rd when the Mk15 shows up. I never got to experience the pre-trudeau times sadly, but man, semi auto 223s are a ton of fun!

Haven't shot it yet, but hoping to today. Action is a bit rough, but overall the rifle seems fairly well made, and the AR mag compatibility is a big bonus. It is currently the cheapest semi auto 223 on the market as I paid just under $1k all in.

The trigger is actually surprisingly not bad too, definitely much lighter than mil spec, and lighter than your typical Turkish shotgun. Mounted a spare Vortex Triumph I had lying around onto it. Like I said before, I actually kinda really like the look of the rifle. (Safety is on, mag is empty, just put the mag in for the photo).

My dog substituted her foot into the photo for me. Wasn't even intentional, she just hopped up on the bed while I was trying to take the photo.

And by the way, Mk15 should be arriving any day, the shop im dealing with just told me August 15th they're expecting them, which would be today.

I figure even with the Mk15 Ill hang onto this guy if it runs reliably.

Finally got my PAL last week and bought this beauty. Didn’t take long to build it out thanks to all of the posts I’ve seen here recently. Got out on the range for the first time today and in my excitement forgot to bring targets lol. Regardless I had a good time and didn’t have a single hang shot or misfire. Can provide build details for anyone interested.

Is anyone interested in this shotgun? It sold out instantly when it was released in USA. Could we import it to Canada?

But very fun

New gun wall set-up. Hold-up displays makes some nice Canadian-compliant hangers that finally allow me to display my SPR & handguns.

Had a lot of load development I hadn’t been able to actually get out and test. Today was the day!

In addition to 22lr fun, I ended up shooting exactly 100 rounds of centerfire. 30 rounds of 450 Ackley (like a 458 Lott but bigger by a tad), 32 rounds of 300 rum, 11 rounds of 350 rem mag, and 27 rounds of 257 STW.

The browning x bolt max long range in 300 rum 1:8 twist with the vortex 5-25x56 strike eagle is just so awesome. With 212 bore riders I had no trouble making a first round hit at 500 yards (the goose shaped steel, note the close up of the copper splash on it) after verifying where it was hitting at 300.

The 450 humbled me, it’s not bad from standing (though very stout), but this was my first time shooting it the elephant gun from a bench…500 grain bullets with a full case of 748 powder rattle your teeth and pulverize your shoulder off the bench. Twas fun because I’m a masochist and a recoil junkie, but I have a bruise starting and weird ball/lump under the skin on that shoulder now.

Note the expanded bullet I dug out of the dirt bank…that’s a mushroom, it almost looks like a tooth with roots haha. 280 grains retained after slamming into sand, lost 220. Ought to be fine for moose 🤣

The 257 stw was disappointing today…I discovered both my ultra light and ultra heavy loads were keyholing. They should be stable, I guess maybe the RPMs at north of 4400 fps get a bit squirrelly for the 75 grain hammer and the hornady eldm 134 grain isn’t meant to handle this kind of velocity either. It is an 8 twist.

I’ll try some more basic 100 grain bullets next.

Hi all, I know GoTenda Calgary is having their soft opening this weekend, but unfortunately I have to work and can’t make it. Does anyone know when they will officially be open? I’m planning to drive down from Edmonton to check them out.
They have a Tikka T3x ACE Target that I want on their website, but I’d rather not have it shipped. I’d prefer to pick it up in person.
If anyone has their Calgary contact number or knows their regular opening date, that would be great. Thank you!

Hi all, it was my first day at the range and first time ever firing a firearm. I didnt expect it to be like this honestly.

So i sign up for the membership, old man there is the president of the club, he does the boresighting for me chuckles a little as he hands me back the firearm and wishes me luck.

I load three bullets in my mag and set my stuff up ready to go. Seen a few videos on how to fire a firearm before. I lock in and pull the trigger.

It was a NUKE.

I had never imagined the kick to be soooo harsh and trust me when i say it, it SHOOK ME TO THE BONE.

I was absolutely terrified and i could fathom at that moment that those who shoot on youtube (my fav is hicko45) are actually on a league wayyyyy beyond what i had placed them on.

Fired 10 rounds and packed up, cleaned my stuff and am starting towards home.

Ive trily never felt such mixed emotions before. On hand i was terrified and on the other hand, FUCK YEAHHHHHHHH.

Setup is- Tikka t3x chambered in win308, ammo used is federal 150grain soft point, scope is vortex crossfire 3-9x40mm. Recoil pad is limbsaver airtech for tikka.

Sorry for the long post. Tips are highly appreciated.

TLDR: got rekt on first time ever shooting a firearm.

Was doing research for my site and just stumbled upon this by chance on Google Maps. Apparently they do PAL/RPAL courses as well.

Anyone been there who can provide more feedback about what they're like?

Hey hope everyone's having a good day. Has anyone been able to find any info on when stores are gonna be getting there carmels in? Everywhere i look it just says August. Thank you

Posted it a couple month ago, just now came back from shooting it for the first time, had like 8 ejections problems, one lite strike and even a stock case. had to punch the hell out the handle to open the action. Might have a head space issue. Used 150grn nosle accubound, haven’t got the precision i wanted but scope will be changed and the barrel will be polish

Hey all,

Has anyone here had any experience with private firearm training?

I got my PAL last year and while I aced the written portion, I didn't do so well on the practical. A lot of the types of firearms I had never seen in person before, let alone handle. To be fair, I did sort of rush them and could have taken more time to learn about them.

I was thinking of buying a Ruger 10/22 in order to start my journey and to learn more about how to operate it safely. That being said, I live somewhere where it is illegal to plink on crown land so I would need to go to a range. It would be ideal to just take it out in the woods and learn on my own but alas. I obviously know the minimums of firearm safety but I wouldn't want to put anyone at risk if something went wrong at the range. I also don't wanna look like an idiot lol.

So with all that being said, has anyone here ever hired someone for training? Were they a range officer or just a buddy who knows that specific firearm?

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks

Hi folks.

Love guns (have 2), hunting and the community. Whats new these days? Any political updates? Any new trendy guns? Any new developments? Provincial differences or developments?

Been working lots the last 3 months.

M

Unfortunately no feet.

Gotta love walking into your local Shopper's and walking out with a box that says 'rifle case' and inside that box is a Tikka T3x Ace Target in 6.5 Creedmoor. Can't wait to try this beauty out tonight at the range.

Did anyone recently (after handgun freeze) update their handgun registration? Like changing the calibre?

Did it work out? Did you get new caliber registration?

I went shooting 2 days back to back, 1st day was flawless next day it happened before firing any round

I will contact Stoeger customer service but wanted to ask if someone can recommend any solution. Bold also stuck randomly between rounds.

We still out here shootin boys!
