So it looks like there’s a few new 9mm options coming to Canada. The Schmiesser psr-9 pump action and sterling rc-9 in semi auto and the sterling rl-9 lever action. I’m pretty excited. unsure if I’ll go with the psr-9 or the rc-9 what are your thoughts? It’s also pretty cool what sterling says they are gonna do for all the guys who have the now prohib r9!

I got a CZ 457 MTR Varmint and I’m looking to shoot competitively next season/ year. I did some small batch of ammo testing at 50 yards and the best results was between the SK Rifle Match and SK Long Range Match. I tried 100 yards and the SK Rifle seems to be all over the place.

I know .22LR ammo can also vary by lot. By the time I purchase more I’m not sure how the new lot will behave.

So the questions here are:

What’s the best approach to testing ammo and getting a large amount? Do I purchase a test batch at the beginning of the season and buy a boat load it quickly after?

I’m seeing a drought in ammo, do these come in waves and I just have to keep checking retailers? or do I need to preorder them so I get the amount I need?

Also for anyone shooting ISSF .22LR as well same questions. Looking to get a Pardini and doing this process but it seems like the pistol ammo is in even shorter supply.

A few highlights from TACCOM 2026 🇨🇦

YouTube just announced a new "branded content policy".

This policy prohibits all 3rd-party ads or products given to creators that are firearm- or ammunition-related. Think of TFB TV's product segments for example. The punishment for not disclosing it and uploading anyway is to have the video removed. It is also a crime to not disclose these things in most modern countries (Canada included).

If this is retroactive, we are about to see a truly insane number of channels get deleted and waves of age-restricted videos. If it isn't, we're going to slowly see the dying of the firearms community on YouTube. Like all creators who make their primary living from this, the majority of revenue comes from 3rd parties, not Google Ads. You can still earn Google Ad revenue without 3rd party ads, however, that is a tiny amount compared to 3rd party products of payments. I recommend looking at Linus Tech Tips' breakdown of revenue; it's informative. Firearms content is especially expensive to make.

The only content that will be left will be hobbyist content if this is fully enforced. By that, I mean content like mine where 90% of it comes from my own pockets, and it's part of a hobby I already do. Being a firearms creator as a career will now be borderline impossible. Those who already have a big following can go to other platforms and be okay.

I will still make videos, but I will be impacted by this both in the videos I can make and in any hope of this being more than a hobby.

Looking at an anschutz 1416 for 600 bucks, any reason I shouldn't buy it? Not in perfect shape but its 600 bucks

Im looking for an adult sized 22 with iron sights, originally looking for a CZ but came across the anschutz. Anything else I should be looking for?

I RO a youth event for my own range that we have, let some bang off: .308 which is a better gateway drug than .22lr given there reaction and some where gawking at the cool camo rifles.

I then zeroed and tried to practice for a service rifle match a 3 hour drive away.

All the while dealing with my AuADHD insomnia and delayed phase sleep so I am tired as hell.

My body and neck in particular is very very angry as well from prone shooting so much.

I just calling the rifle mystery machine at this point: I just leaning into the fact my philosophy of use and how I build a rifle to meet that doesn't compute to others, nor do they know what they are looking at as a whole 😅...

Rifle neophyte here. More of a shotgun man myself. Wanting to diversify my collection.

Looking for a medium to long range bolt action rifle with an underbarrel picatinny rail. Budget is around $1,000.00. Give or take.

Favoring anything as powerful, or more powerful, than .308 Win. Any rifle suggestions welcome.

Saw this at Taccom earlier today. This model by Canuck basically fixes two major issues I had with the TM22.....the charging handle is ambidextrous and it's got a bolt hold open. The bolt hold open is on the third photo. It also takes 10/22 mags but Canuck will be coming out with proprietary 5, 10, 15 and 25 round mags. From what I've seen the 15 and 25 round mags will look similar to the Butler Creek banana style mags. Mil-spec buffer tube. The handguard is all aluminum and has MLOK slots on the bottom as well. Full length aluminum picatinny rail. It will also come with the MBUS style sights. The only thing this doesn't come with is the scope and the tripod obviously.

The Canuck rep told me that they'll be on shelves in December but they will probably be out earlier in November so all the Canadian gun tubers can review them. Obviously the big concern is how reliable they will be but I've been pretty happy with Canuck and O'Dell Engineering's products so far so I have a feeling that this will be a TM22 killer.

EDIT: I forgot....these will come in a 12 inch, 16 inch and an 18 inch barrel version. The muzzle is also threaded. Also, they will come in OD green and I believe FDE. All models will be non-restricted. Price point will also be around $600 CAD. Same as most TM22s.

The photographic, archaeological & written evidence seems to suggest otherwise.

Don‘t even make me delve into the first legislation against firearms ownership which dominion of Canada implemented and where those laws applied and who they were used against.

Hey everyone!
I’m visiting Vancouver on vacation until September 18th and I’d really like to visit a gun range while I’m here. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that some ranges require you to have a second person with you, and I don’t know anyone locally who’s interested in going.
As far as I understand, private lessons require a PAL, so that doesn’t seem to be an option for me either.
This might be a bit of a weird question, but would anyone here be interested in joining me at a range sometime? I’m pretty flexible with my schedule until the 18th. :)
I’d also really appreciate any suggestions or tips for ranges that might accommodate someone in my situation!
And if this isn’t the right place to ask, feel free to remove the post. Thanks!

I'm in my 50's and have finally decided I want to get my PAL and buy a 22 primarily for target shooting, at the range and in the bush near my place on Vancouver Island.

I'm not broke, so I can afford to spend a bit. I have read a ton of thread and reviews, but I'm just getting confused, as there is a lot of conflicting opinions.

I imagine most of my shooting will be done within 100 yards, but it would be nice to be able to reach out further too.

I'm leaning towards a CZ457 Varmint for the firearm, so can someone suggest a scope? Vortex Crossfire 2? A Leopold? Burris?

And if anyone can suggest a dealer apart from Cabelas in Nanaimo, that would also be appreciated.

Looks like they could be back on the market in a few months.

Video from TACWolf on youtube.

Never seen this on a shotgun shell before today. Testing out a 30 round drum mag on a Canuck Recon 3 and about 8-9 shells out of 60 had this damage on it. Had a lot of double feeds and it looked like the extractor was catching the 2nd bottom round and is probably what did this.

hi guys,

check this one out!

I see so many 22lr semi’s being released, why aren’t there more 9mm variants being released. All we have is the henry homesteader…

Imagine a TM 9 or something like that! It would be awesome.

Hi, everyone! I live in Toronto and am applying for PAL next week. While I’m waiting for my license, I wanted to go to a shooting range a few times to practice, but everywhere I’ve looked around the GTA and in Ontario in general, they require a group of at least two people. Does anyone know of any shooting ranges where you can go alone? I’ve also considered hiring an instructor, since I need to work on my shooting technique. How and who can I hire in the GTA area?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I've seen lots of posts from the NS booth at TACCOM with the the special order FDE Makasi and the regular black one. I heard the FDE one was coming with an exclusive 15 inch handguard, but clearly the black one on display has that too. Did anyone have the opportunity to view or ask any questions regarding it?

I'm wondering if with all the reported QC issues, are the handguards being swapped out with ones that don't have the issues and that's the delay to them hitting retailers?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Get out and shoot!

Everyone’s out playing with the SPAS, but this is cool too I guess

I go to target sports, but the range is only 25yards. I want something much longer. Any recommendations?
