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.

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.

​

​

Looking to pick up some spare 9mm magazines. What brand have you bought and how do you like them? Any current sales that I can take advantage of?

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.

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.

​

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.

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.

Hey fellas,

​

I am looking to get this communities insight on a .22lr that would fit the bill for the training I want to do.

​

I know next to nothing about the semi auto .22 market outside of a bit of googling. I am not really a gun guy but I have a lot of trigger time on AR platforms. I want to maintain that skill set and some previous job specific standards

​

Money is not really an issue.

​

I am looking for something that feeds reliably, is accurate, and has AR-style ergonomics (preferably even a similar safety selector, mag release, and bolt catch); In that order.

​

I intend of mounting an eotech, flashlight, and possibly a laser at some point.

​

I want to predominantly shoot between 3 and 25m, working on single to multiple round engagements with a shot clock and some multi-target running around stuff. Hence reliability being the main thing.

​

So far I have stumbled across the ruger 10/22 which seems the most customizable, ST 22, Adler, and the Derya TM 22 which seems nice but the pricepoint seems low. I have read about issues with the Adler.

​

Any insight on you guys on a good gun or custom build that would check the boxes I want to check?

​

Thanks!

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.

1970s Remington 870 Wingmaster, the last two pictures are the only ones I have of it in its original configuration with the 30 inch vent rib barrel I've been slowly getting parts together since I bought the gun. I was going for a 70s FBI/police shotgun, but in my mind every shotgun needs a bayonet so I had to have one even though law enforcement don't run bayonets.

Build list

1. Professionally chopped blu'd 870 Wingmaster barrel without a vent rib

2. Ground down and drilled steel round stock with nut and bolt to accommodate the bayonet

3. Blu'd 870 OEM +2 magazine tube extension (the original one I had was parkerized and clashed with the bluing of the gun)

4. M1 carbine bayonet I believe its official designation is M4 not to be confused with the rifle or shotgun of the same name.

5. S&J bayonet ½ mount

6. Grovtec barrel clamp w/picatinny rail, QD cup, and sling swivel. I'm not a big fan of the pic rail and will probably swap it out with a nut at some point in the near future but its what the bolt screws into so I dont really have a choice, I also decided to exclude the QD cup for the same reason.

7. S&J magazine spring and follower kit, minus the follower I love the smoothness of their spring but I didn't want the high vis follower just a personal aesthetic choice although I do know them to be incredible followers.

And finally to top it all off a custom made leather bandolier/sling. This one was also aesthetic I wanted a leather sling to complement the wood and the dark tones with the lacquer finish but I also wanted it to be able to hold shells so I had something custom made and I'm glad I did because it looks like it belongs on the gun in my opinion, the width makes it very comfortable even loaded down with shells. All said and done I think it was money well wasted.

After month of contemplating what riffle to get brand and calibure. I finally landed on the tikka tx3 308 win. And took about a week to finally track one down and I got it right away. So excited to get a scope and fire it for the first time. I was very torn on the 30-06 bc the stores in my area had more 30-06 selection over tge win but canadian tire had a huge selection of different types for the 308. But for a first deer riffle I think it was the better choice.

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 " 😂

I may post these babies often, but here is all 4 all together and their "builds" completed.

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!

I burnt my thumb in first time of shooting my A300 by holding it with C clamp method

Even with a pair of gloves, I can still feel the heat after 20 shells.

The AR handguard wrap from Cole Tec could do a trick

Added a sling and the pro lifter will come tomorrow.

I think I am done with this minimalistic build

Many years ago I got a few of these on Amazon. I’m working on a few new projects and would like more. I’ve been searching online for more of them but it seems they’ve been discontinued. Has anyone seen these available anywhere? Thanks

Far from perfect. Missing the gun holders and some other stuff.

​

Somehow my brain is enjoying this.

Decided to take the Derya diaper out again, to try some reloads and faster shooting.

Still working on my precision, but for now it's just plinkin' at 30m.

Where can I find rubber straps for hanging steel, Basspro used to have a kit for $10 but I cant find it anymore, I just need the straps I have the rest of the hardware, any other sources?

Definitely one of my favourite antiques to shoot! She’s not just a display piece but a reliable shooter. Definitely recommend for those seeking an antique revolver!
