Hey there, new shooter just getting into things and having a lot of fun. Here is my collection:

1. Ruger 10/22 with Viridian Eon 3-9x40

2. Beretta 1301 in 12g

3. Bergera B-14 Sierra in 30.06

4. Tikka T3x Lite in 308 (unfired)

I know I have a lot to learn but I have been enjoying my time at the range. Moving the Ruger's scope to the Bergera and I will get a proper scope for it when the time comes. The Tikka Lite I am thinking of selling to get a CTR but the store was out when I got there.

Just wondering if anyone owns this gun and has any insight on how well it works? I'm a huge lever action guy, but I also hunt Waterfowl so I was thinking of picking up the 2 shell - fast load option for this season. I'm aware it's far less practical than my over/under, but I still feel a pull towards this shotgun. Most of the stuff I've seen online is from different brands, so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm deciding between this or a Henry homesteader, for another range gun.

Any feedback on how well it feeds and performs would be appreciated!

I recently had a discussion with a fellow PAL holder on some of the new exciting rifles that are coming into the country. To summarize his viewpoint in short, it was that no one needed such firearms as they have no use in hunting. It was reminiscent of the democrat argument of “just buy a shotgun”.

In my experience, the younger generation of enthusiasts view firearms in an opposite light of fudds, where firearms are a means of self defense from tyranny in form of government and intruders.

This got me thinking, how responsible are fudds for our current dire circumstances? I feel that most of us had to become political activists in recent years due to necessity whereas fudds choose to be politically complacent or have been convinced that less freedoms are better.

In some part I feel that we as a community actually deserve the hand that has been dealt. Even on our firearm based sub, I see some comments being massively upvoted that promote limiting our freedoms as Canadians or cope comments because it would mean we are superior to the US.

Would it have always turned out like this?

Long time coming. Been chasing an M10 for a while and when I saw one pop up online I had to — 27” .338 Lapua, Coyote, folding. Turns out they only get about three a year, this one was ordered in 2024, and every other shop I called said special orders on these are paused and were a 1–2 year wait even before that. So when they said “we have one,” I didn’t think about it very long.

Came with the rifle, one mag, manual and the Sako hard case. That’s it.

I already run a TRG-42, everything in the safe is on Nightforce rings and ATACR’s and I’ve moved all my bipods to ARCA (MDT Ckye-Pod), so I’m leaning toward maybe an S&B or Tangent Theta and a short M-LOK ARCA rail up front.

For the guys who actually own one:
What scope did you end up putting on?
Ckye-Pod HD, Accu-Tac, Atlas?
Spare mags — anyone found them anywhere other than Tenda? Did you go down the change-kit road for .308/6.5 training?
Anything you wish you’d known before the first 100 rounds? Break-in, brake, cleaning, whatever.

Also open to any accessory I’m not thinking of. Ammo suggestions welcome too — I’ll be handloading eventually but want a factory load to zero and chrono with.

Is anyone still waiting for handgun transfer approvals for USA imports since July? Specifically referring to Olympic exemption 22LR letters already submitted for IRG orders.

Has anyone heard what is going on or the reason for the delays? The usual transfer approval timeline should be 2-3 weeks max once the letter is submitted to the RCMP. Without the transfer approval nothing can be imported or shipped. It usually takes 2 weeks for the approval and another 1 week to get the registration certificate mailed. For some it has been almost 2 months.

Just thought it was neat to see side by side. The bullpup reminds me of a star wars prop or something. As soon as I saw it I wanted one.

Im just starting my gun collection and all im missing is a 12 gauge. I have a Lee Enfild and a .22. Im wondering if this is a good firearm? And if anybody has prior experiences with it or other 12 gauge shotguns I should consider. Im located in northern Alberta so lots of black bears,bobcats and other animals like that.

I did have the top charging handle, but let's say it did not survive in one piece. I'll have a video on that soon. But the CAR-15(ish) looks better with the short barrel compared to the original feather.

Also the MadDog M733/M723 airsoft stock fits on the tube perfectly, so its still fully adjustable.

Ad500 tac in 308, I have the stock off the buffer tube, roll pin out of the grip but it's still stuck. Is there something internal holding it to the receiver ? Also has anyone replaced the grip yet? I need a better option

So out of ALL the banned guns, APC9 kind of gun is the one that I sorely miss. I really like its telescoping stock and grip.

So here is my cope plan.. $$$ no object.

Acquire :

1. Henry Homesteader
2. Nuemann Metalwork Pistol Grip and 1913 stock adapter (https://www.nmworks.ca/product-page/homesteader-pistol-grip-adapter). This is important because Tommy Enterprises's adapter does not support Beavertail grips that B&T grips are.
3. B&T Original handgrip or B&T Zwolf grip. For B&T Original you might need to drill a hole but Zwolf should fit directly as it is aimed for AR style platforms (https://axarms.com/product/bt-bt-zwolf-grip-new-for-apc9-spc9-ghm9-apc300-apc223-etc-bt-zwolfgrip/).
4. Acquire A3 industries modular telescoping stock (https://a3industries.com/modular-telescoping-stock-universal-picatinny-1913-mount/).
5. Acquire handguard with rails/m-lok for completing the picture (Tommy or Midwest might do the trick).
6. Replace wooden butt and furniture with these. mount telescopic stock. mount handguard etc.

Should be a 27-29 inch OAL gun with stock in smallest position.

No feet sorry, maybe next time 🦶

That's a gen 3 G20C... with all the fixings.

I'm a (nearly) broke university student, but I would like to start shooting more frequently and seriously. I'm looking for a bolt action .22lr to mount a scope on and spend some good time practicing with. I'd love to pick up a CZ 457, Tikka T1X, Anschutz, Bergara, etc. but that kind of defeats the purpose of a budget rifle. I might as well just buy bucket loads of centerfire ammo and practice with that.

I'm looking for something under $400, bolt action, .22lr, able to mount a scope without drilling and tapping, and at least passably accurate.

I'm not shy of buying used guns either, most of mine were purchased used. I would love to hear stories of your old Cooeys, Lakefields, Winchesters, Mossbergs, CILs, TOZs etc. that perform above expectation.

Or maybe newer rifles like a Savage mkII, Norinco, or one of the miscellaneous Turkish models would be a better option?

I'm interested to hear your advice and experiences!

I believe it has been discussed many times on CGN forum but I've found these documents really useful, especially with the surge of SKS purchases and new SKS owners joining the gang there might be people asking what to do with their SKS carbines that shoot 10 feet high and 20 feet to the left (lol)

These are the official sight-in guidelines for Soviet and Yugoslavian armourers. Too bad I haven't been able to find the Chinese version but I'm pretty sure they are almost identical to each other.

Both guidelines require that you use the BATTLE SIGHT (III or 3), then shoot 4 rounds from a rested position at 100m, and aim at the CENTER of the BOTTOM EDGE of a black target.

The Soviet manual requires a black rectangular target (35cm x 25cm) attached to a white backboard (100cm x 50cm), while the Yugo instruction only requires a 25cm x 20cm black rectangular target attached to a white backboard of the same size.

After shooting 4 rounds, you gotta check your grouping. At least 3 rounds should fit within a 15cm circle. This makes sure your SKS has the Minute-of-Capitalist accuracy (5 MOA at 100m) to begin with.

Then, locate the center of your 4 hits by pairing 4 random bullet holes with 2 straight lines, connecting the 1/2 centres of the 2 lines with a 3rd straight line. The center point of the 3rd line is now the center of your hits.

Now, compare the centre of your actual hits to the theoretical point of impact, which should be exactly 25cm right above the point of aim. If the deviation of your actual impact vs the theoretical point of impact is less than 5cm, DO NOTHING. You're all set.

If the deviation is greater than 5cm, you will need to adjust your front sight post. Say if it shoots to the left, then you push the sight post to the LEFT. If it shoots high, you turn the sight post UPWARD.

For Russian and Chinese SKS:

Each full turn of the sight post changes the elevation by 16cm at 100m. Moving the sight post horizontally by 1mm changes the windage by 21cm at 100m.

For Yugoslavian M59/66:

The elevation adjustment ratio is 1 turn = 16.5cm at 100m, while windage is 1mm = 22cm at 100m.

Hope this helps, comrades.

Hey guys. Slowly building up the collection here and looking for some opinions.

Just to recap, I have a .303 British and a .410 that I inherited from my grandfather. Both work like a charm. No scope on the .303, but I absolutely love shooting the thing. The bolt action is ridiculously satisfying and it’s surprisingly accurate for an old rifle with irons.
I just picked up a Ruger 10/22 for some scoped shooting and partridge hunting in the winter, alongside the .410.

Technically, I could also hunt moose with the .303 since my grandfather used it for moose and black bear back in the day.
Now I’m looking for something a little more tacticool that I can also justify as a hunting rifle — preferably something I could use for moose if we ever actually manage to draw a tag in our WMU…
So I’m looking at the MRA Maverick .308 with the 20” barrel…
Would you guys actually consider the Maverick a legitimate hunting rifle that also happens to scratch the tacticool itch, or am I just finding an excuse to justify a $2K gun? 😂
For anyone who maybe hunts with one, what does your setup look like? Scope, stock, barrel, etc.
Trying to figure out if this is a “good practical option” or a “Screw it, I just want one”🫣

Hello people,

I just bought the Nanuk 994 case, but I am not sure whether I should keep both layers of foam or keep only one (see photo). With two layers, I feel like there is a lot of pressure on the scope and with only one layer, I fear the gun will move around.

For context, the case and the gun in it will soon travel 12 hours in the back of a truck.

Also, I would prefer not to cut out the shape of the gun into the foam as I plan to use the case for all my rifles.

Thanks in advance.

Good day all, just received my pal right at the 28 day mark for valid which I’m happy about. My question is looking for a 22 for range target for my15 year son and myself.
Thoughts are derya TM-22 metal or a Ruger 22 custom like the Archangel

TL/DR: the man was an employee of a pest control company doing bird control work using an air rifle.

Mostly done from parts that were lying around. Feels nice, hits stuff, cycles well with HV and SS which is a pleasant surprise.

Thinking of getting one of these guys they seem like they would be pretty decent

Hello,

When I was 17 I was very immature and did some very stupid things. I was charged with, and pleaded guilty to manufacturing and possessing a firearm, as well as some other charges.

Now I’m 20 and I’ve completely turned my life around. I’ve completed my sentence, am in university, and am looking to get my PAL & RPAL before they start banning more guns. I don’t have a firearms prohibition order (thankfully), but I’m worried that since my access period is still open (until 2031), when I check yes under the “have you been charged in the last 5 years” section, they will look at my charges and probably deny the application.

The main reason for this post is I’m not sure how the access period and sealed records actually work for PAL applications and I can’t find any information for this that is pertinent to youth charges.

Will they always be able to see my charges since it’s the RCMP and a firearm related application? If so, then what difference would it make if I apply now vs after the record is sealed, I would rather get denied now than waste 5 years anticipating and get denied then. Conversely, if they are unable to see my charges after the access period ends, I’m scared that if I apply now, the denial and reason for denial will permanently be recorded in the RCMP database, potentially affecting future applications.

I hope that my mistakes in the past won’t permanently bar me from the privilege of owning firearms, and I hope to become one of you guys soon.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Edit: A guy actually reported me to a CFO 💀. What a tool. It’s a good thing it would be a criminal offence to try and identify me

The site still mentions the october 2026 date despite the extension due to the supreme court challenge... Good ol government
