I haven’t had it for long. Put about a hundred cheap rounds through and taken on two hunting trips

I love the compact, handy size of it. The pistol grip it comes with feels good. No complaints about the action. Trigger is nice and really light. Paired with the Aimpoint I find getting on target is quick. Accuracy was surprisingly good off the bench but I’ve never shot it past 100 yards and majority was at 60 yards.

I really like this gun but it’s far from perfect. The narrow handguard doesn’t have enough clearance to add a Magpul MLok QD sling mount, it’s not even close to enough clearance to tighten the screws without touching the barrel. I find the mag really needs to be slammed in for it to catch and it really doesn’t like it be inserted on a closed bolt.

It’s not a precision rifle and I don’t know if I’d recommend it if you’re just looking for a range toy (at least until u/Cryptidworks gets their standard capacity mags to market) but if you’re wanting a handy little carbine for deer or something easy to carry for backcountry trips it’s great. Awesome grab gun, go innawoods type carbine

The gun itself is pretty average, but damn, it looks good once you build it out. 🤣
At this point, the accessories are worth way more than the gun itself.

Time to clean, atleast they will be ready for the next range day!

not sure what the process was before, but seems like a good thing

looking for recommendations for a flashlight/ laser for picatinny rail attachment. feel free to post doggo / gun pics!

Inspired by my hammerli sp20 rrs and pardini sp I made this gloriously oversized version for 308.

Essentially the weight's inertia fights the rifle movement, stores some of the recoil energy in the spring and distributes in longer period of time, compare to just adding the same amount of dead weight imagine a 10lb rifle hits your shoulder vs a 8lb rifle does that and additional 2lb come in 1ms later, this is of course very oversimplified. Adding some heavy grease later will probably turn some of that stored energy into heat.

judging from how much the spring was compressed it reduced the peak recoil force by about 60lbf, which is about 10-15%, for a gun that doesn't care about weight aka a prs rig this might work pretty well, especially unlike a very aggressive brake it makes no extra concussion

Browning BLR 308 and Savage Revel 22LR. Getting ready for deer season so will be taking the BLR to the range this weekend

With Sterling Arms standing up for themselves against the prohibited classification the RCMP put on the R9, and winning, it got me thinking about the Crusader Arms Crypto. Those guys came out with a rifle that met the new laws, then pumped out a bunch of beyond subpar rifles with worse than Chinese QC. Made a pile of cash and as soon as it was banned, did nothing to stand up for their product. Instead created another piece of garbage.

Not to just bash CA (well, maybe a little, actually a lot), we now have seen what a good Canadian firearms manufacturer does. Makes a product, stands by it, then fights for it. Their win, to me anyway, shows what companies we should actually support.

After CA removed their website, blocks peoples comments on Instagram that comment the issues they have with their new Backland Hunter rifles I am genuinely shocked anyone can still support them by giving them a dime.

Anyway, I'm kind of curious what other people's thoughts are on CA doing nothing to fight for the rifle they developed, that also being a fight for their customers base. Especially now that we have seen Sterling Arms having being successful with their R9 reclassification. Will this maybe get them to take a stance for the crypto classification?

Can a RPAL/PAL holder transport their licensed firearm without a self-owned/rented car, legally to range?

The firearm (rifle or pistol) will be collapsed/folded (as needed), unloaded, cable or trigger locked, locked in a rigid gun case.

Some ideas :

1. Bike/E-bike with a lockable rigid metal/polymer compartment (similar to ones used by food delivery folks) built-in or securely permanently attached to the bike.
2. In locked trunk of a taxi.

Has anyone ever done so?

Has anyone discussed with a cab company that if they allow transporting firearm to range and back?

I do not drive because, well, I never had to. And it will take much more effort for me to be proficent and confident in driving. I can ride bike, however.

What would you value it ?

Not an offer to buy, purchase, or sell.

RCMP confirmed a neighbour — an off-duty officer — discharged a firearm in their home. In a statement to CBC News, police said the officer was alone at the time, and the bullet went through a wall and damaged an adjoining residence. No injuries were reported.

"I saw the gunshot originating from [the neighbour's] window, but I was like, 'Well, maybe we had a hailstorm,'" Aleysha said. "There's no way that an RCMP officer shot the house and we don't know about it."

No one was home at the time of the incident other than the couple's pets, and no one was injured.

I’m looking at Athlon scopes, specifically Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56 and the Ares BTR Gen3 HD 4.5-27x50.

Roughly the same cost, $80 difference. Just looking for anyone who has any reviews or advice on them? Going on a Bergara Premier HMR Pro.

Or if anyone has any other recommendations in the $1200 range.

Thanks!

I used a black toonie for my black rifle.

What would you say is the most reliable semi auto .22lr on our market, and using what combo of ammo and magazines? I recently picked up an SBI ST22 and a few TUFF 22 magazines, working on figuring out what kind of ammo they like. Also, share your .22s

Got into a gun club and I want to get into Trap & Skeet Shooting, but I also want to be able to go hunting once I'm comfortable with my shots. I can not decide between an over-under, a pump-action, or a semi-auto. I'm new to this and have a budget of $2000, $2500 max.

Is it possible to do these different disciplines with one shotgun? Or should I choose between range shooting and hunting, then buy a different one down the road?

Hoping to get some recommendations for this; not sure if I'm being too vague. Feel free to ask me some questions if needed! Thank you in advance.

I'm currently running a Steiner M5Xi MSR-2 no my Accuracy International AX

Lets talk glass !

I have the gun's original packaging. but I want to wrap something opaque around the actual packaging. what do I use? the cardboard box is pretty long.

Thanks.

New to shooting and I’m looking for a range that goes to 200 yards I can zero my rifle at. Plz help

Looking at getting a 223 for target shooting at local range, I was looking at some of the savage models like the Axis II or Apex Storm, but I see a lot of mixed opinions on them. Would it be fine for target practice for a beginner? And before you say it, yes I have a 22, I was just looking at someone with slightly more kick and range.

Edit: im seeing alot of tikka T3x replies and all im wondering is: A, is it worth the extra 400 above the axis 2 and B, do i need a $1500 range .223
