I'm new to this hobby and I'm looking for a center fire semi-auto range toy that will last a good while and run reliably enough.
I was looking at either getting this rifle or an SKS and getting it modified to take those 10 round XCR-L pistol mags. I also had my eyes on that Makasi MK-15 that's coming to Canada, but I'm not sure about getting one of those just yet.
If anybody has some first hand knowledge on how the Aclor runs, I'd love to hear your experience with it.

Having a constant issue with Raccoons in my parents attic. Parents refuse to get people to clean and seal the attic but there is clearly an issue with Raccoons returning every year.

already paid for pest control to remove a whole family of Raccoons last year. Been hearing a new one constantly on the roof.

Are there any rifles that I can use to dispose of Raccoons without a license?

been going through some reddit threads and people talk about drowning raccoons which seems cruel. Trying to see if the cheap rifles from Canadian Tire will solve my issue without needing a license. Im thinking of trapping in a cage and then disposing of the raccoons, if this is legal.

Hi all, I’m in the market for an antique status revolver, as that’s all I can get since I don’t qualify for exemption. Basically I boiled it down to three potential contenders 1.) the German 1883 Reich Revolver, 2.) the 1889 Bodeo, and lastly 3.) the 1892 French Ordnance Revolver. My budget is roughly $3500-$4000, and I would like to know which one is best in terms of value, and ease of acquiring brass and bullet or factory ammo. How well do these revolver holdup to use, are any of them weaker than the others and more prone to breakage? From what I understand the 1883 was build like a tank but is not the most ergonomic piece.

Smokeless powder… Can I use smokeless powder in all of them? I intend to mostly use black powder anyways, it’s just nice to have that option. Is there any common issue with any of these revolver that I should be aware of before purchasing.

Thank you all for the advice

Went to the range for the first time yesterday and almost everybody had these cool round organizers with slots for each round. Where are y'all getting these? (looking to hold 223/556 myself)

Anyone else notice the 25-round mags are out of stock everywhere lately? Been like that for a while now.

Are there any good alternatives that fit the TM22? And have they stopped importing them or something? Haven’t seen a restock in weeks.

I've looked around this subreddit and been looking online and i haven't seen any reputable companys in canada that carry level 4 6x6 side plates. if anyone knows a good brand that does carry them, im all ears.

Hey everyone, I just purchased my first gun which is a derya TM22 Pro.

I live just north of the gta, and until I find a range or crown land to shoot I’d like to get familiar with my rifle.

The staff at the store said you don’t really need to oil the gun, just clean it with spray after use. Is this true? The manual doesn’t really say much of anything lol.

Is there any attachments and scopes anyone recommends for this gun?

Thanks!

Does anyone on here have info or own one of these turkey m4s was looking at a panzer m4 but saw this and juat seeing if anyone's reviewed or has one

Humor me on this. I would like to add a “fighting” bolt action to my quiver, with iron sights and in a modern, easy to get caliber. What would YOU get, and why?

Obviously with getting my PAL issued, my first purchase will be an SKS.

I’m thinking about the ATI because I like the “tactical” look to things opposed to how wood does.

Won’t even be buying a wood stock shotgun….

Anywho, how hard is it to make the SKS take removeable mags?

If I did it, is there any way to reverse it?

Edit: I’ll probably just snag the Alder AD500… I think it meets more of what I’m looking for. Thanks for the info to stay away from the ATI SKS

I’m looking to get a bolt action rifle chambered in 5.56/.223 preferably. Was looking at the gen II Ruger American ranch, but haven’t had much luck finding one in stock.

Also looked into CZ600 trail, but from what I’ve researched, those mags have to be pinned at 5. Not sure if that is accurate though. I’d like to be able to use a 10 round if possible.

Was hoping for some advice from the community if I should be looking for something else or hold out and try to find one of the above.

Thanks in advance!

It's been a decade+ with my 20 inch bolt action 22lr. After having a taste of smaller firearms, I'm looking for suggestions for a short barrel, compact 22lr rifle.

What's everyone's suggestions?? Of course I think of a ruger 10/22, but what company makes good short barrels for them? What other rifles fill the same role without needing to buy both a gun and a barrel?

While I'm mainly looking for a semi auto, I'd certainly be curious to see what short barrel manual actions are also out there.

Thanks r/canadaguns!

Anybody here from BC that’s ordered 5.56 ammo online in bulk? Having a hard time finding a BC/Alberta supplier that doesn’t cost $200 in shipping like the Ontario ones

Why do people dislike the restricted version so much? Only difference is barrel length really right? Also it hadn’t even come out why are they putting the NR above R

Setting up a rifle specifically for hunting but all the scopes I have are first focal plane.

Aside from the reticle differences, does the adjustable parallax of the FFP scope drastically hinder the hunting experience, or is it becoming more common to use these?

I'm looking for a 3-15 option and there are more appealing scopes with FFP.

All,

Happy to say I am entering the wonderful world of gun ownership. I can only compare it to car shopping and I am loving every minute of it. I would kindly like to ask for the communities help if you could.

I want to get into skeet shooting, and I understand that’s a slippery slope, however I would like to limit my first purchase to $2,500.

I have done my fair share of research and I believe the Baretta A400 is probably a good choice. It’s not an O/U, but it seems like the general consensus is this gun would be the best option based on my budget. I will admit I am disappointed this gun is not an O/U as I think that would be a big part of skeet shooting, however that might just be me making it a bigger issue than it needs to be.

I would love to know what you guys think before I pull the trigger on my first gun purchase.

Much appreciate all your help!

UPDATE: I bought a used beretta 686 silver pigeon sporting on gun post!!! Thanks for all the advice, I looked at every option suggested, except the guy who said SKS.

I've settled on a Tikka T3X as my first hunting rifle - shocking right?

I want one with either a stainless or cerakoted barrel, as well as a threaded barrel (ideally with muzzle brake included).
Two such variants exist within my budget, and I'm having a hard time choosing which one to go for.

Option 1: Tikka T3X Lite Roughtech - Reliable Gun - on special until Sunday for $1620.

Pros - nicer stock, fluted barrel, spiral bolt, local store to me. In stock. 6.8lbs.

Cons - slightly more expensive.

Option 2: Tikka T3x Lite Stainless with Muzzle Brake - Dante - $1550 (the sale price does not apply to pre/backorders unfortunately).

Pros - a bit cheaper, 4 inch shorter barrel (could be a con?). Would feel less annoyed if I swapped the action into a different chasis.

Cons - 7lbs. On backorder with no firm ETA.

I'm sure either rifle would be awesome, and last along time and drop deer no problem. I just love researching gear and feeling 100% in my purchase choice.

Do you have one of these? Another suggestion in this price range? A pro or con I missed? Let me know, I'd love to hear it.

Update: Bought the Roughtech. If you own it, did you replace the bolt next to the sling stud with another sling stud?

Any reason colt45 ammo is so expensive?

Maybe im just not lookimg in the right places...

Seem anout $2 a piece. I dont hunt, just fun shooting

I’m looking for best rifle for me at indoor range and for hunting deer. I’m thinking about BAR 1970-90 models. Do you have any suggestions for me.

Budget is $800

Planning to pick up a LPVO eventually for the makasi when it finally gets here.
Right now looking at vortex, was thinking the vortex venom 1-6 (470$) but just saw a sale for the vortex strike eagle for 600$. Wondering if the extra 130$ makes a difference and if these are decent optics

Sharing an Update:

If anyone is looking for these, the manufacturer said they will be flooding the market with 250k slugs this week so they should be in stores for delivery by next week. (Week of March 15)

What’s the best gun for someone who’s looking to have a good animal defence weapon in places like the Yukon and northern BC. But also fun at the firing range. I just did my PAL course recently I still have to wait until I actually can apply for it. But in the meantime I’ve been looking at guns for fun it seems like my best option would be a lever action rifle that’s 30cal or bigger or some kind of pump action shotgun that can shoot slugs.

Thank you

Title says it all. Is it worth the money and effort or is it too much work for the results you get? I'm thinking about buying one but looking more into it and learning that you have to modify even the magazines it's beginning to look less and less appealing. Maybe someone here that's installed and used one can change my mind?
