Hey guys, looking to get a new scope for the upcoming hunting season. I'm deciding between a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44mm Scope with BDC Reticle, Burris Fullfield 4-16×50 Ballistic E3, or a Burris Signature HD 3-15x44mm Ballistic E3 Illuminated SFP Scope. The Viper and Fullfield 4 is around the same price but the Signature HD is about $100 more.

I don't care too much for the extra feature of illumination for the extra hundred. More about clarity and ease of use. Any advise is appreciated. I'm fairly new and my current scope is a 3-9x40mm Vortex Diamondback Tactical. I don't find it terrible but I do feel that the clarity could be better

I’m interested to get a 12.5inch Renegade MK II, but it’s a bit pricey for me right now, 1,500 plus taxes. I’ve been patiently waiting since January do they go on sale often?

Damn. I never wanted a $22k shotgun before. But after seeing this video, I can see the appeal.

ISSC SPA on clearance at CSC, wasn't much info about em besides the huntinggearguys review from 6 years ago. Took a gamble and it paid off! This thing is awesome and super accurate. No sling attachment points is kinda lame but I'm sure it can't be too hard to install. Otherwise a fantastic lil toggle action.

Hi guys,

I’ve been looking for a bolt-action rifle in .308 Win for a while and came across this deal: around $800, plus 5% off and a $25 mail-in rebate from Winchester.

I’m mainly planning to start with target shooting/plinking, and possibly get into hunting later, so I’m looking for something versatile. I also tend to prioritize quality and durability over price.

What do you guys think about this as a first purchase?

Any other models you’d recommend in a similar price range?

Thanks!

It looks like I can’t post picture in the comments so I’ll leave these here. These were the first 3 patches through the gun. I’d say this goes beyond a test at the factory. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day ruined.

Took my new Morisson 12" 357 levergun to the range today, very satisfied with this oddball Turk. 12" barrel, 38/357 top-ejecting levergun. It's kinda sorta like a 94 Winchester, but with a somewhat shorter stroke and a beefed up action. Mine surprised me with a checkered stock (none of the pictures online have checkering), which I'm very pleased with. The fit and finish is very good - I have yet to spot any flaws or loose parts, or metal shavings anywhere. Its not blued, sadly, but matte parkerized. Though the finish is very durable, and hasnt scuffed or dinged yet. The action is a bit stiff - you have to cycle it 'with purpose,' but it's already breaking in very well after a few hundred cycles.

I mounted an inexpensive 1.5-6x32 Vortex IR scout scope on it. The blued rings I'd bought were about 1mm too low, so I mounted it in some stainless rings I had on hand. I had to remove the factory rear open sight to clear the scope bell. I like the scope OK, but it doesn't hold a candle to a Burris scout scope. Still, I'm satisfied with the optic at about the $350 price point, I guess. At low power with the reticle lit, it feels a lot like using a red dot. I don't like open sights, and the integrated rail was a major selling point for me.

At the range, I fired a hundred or so mixed 38spl and 357 rounds. It fed everything well, with one or two misfeeds on one of my 38spl loads - mostly due to being a bit too timid on the lever. A more assertive operation fed with no failures. There were no FTFs or other operational issues. I didn't test for accuracy (yet) but had no problems consistently drilling the 6" gong at 100 yards. The gun points and aims very well, and is really easy to use standing or from the bench. The balance and swing is just about perfect. The top eject does have an unfortunate way of throwing brass right back at you, but thats true of any top eject lever gun. I didn't chrony anything, but it threw all loads tested at a fairly close POI, from really light 38spl with 124gr over 3.5gr of Clays, to stouter +p loads with 125 and 158gr bullets, and full house 158gr 357 loads over 16.5gr of h110. The short barrel did mean that all shots were relatively loud, and the 357's especially made for a big blast and an impressive fireball. The delay between the shot and the impact with light 38spl loads was fun. Seemed like a real long wait for the 'ting!' whereas the fireball loads felt almost instant in comparison.

I see a fresh batch of Morissons has arrived, in fun new calibers. Wonder if the 44 version is gonna be available in 12"... I'd DEFINITELY buy another of these guns.

I bought two of the butler creek 10/22 mags and they appear to be pinned to ten but when I was loading them I put an 11th round in I tried it with both and the rounds go right passed the pin is this a common thing that happens with these mags I know over ten rounds is prohibited so what do I do
Just to clarify I did not de pin them or modify that mags in any way

I wanted to flag this for the community and get some input.

My Beretta 1301 Tactical Mod 2 arrived today from Rangeview Sports and I’m immediately noticing two things missing that are supposed to be standard on this gun:

Ghost ring rear sight — Every spec sheet, review, and retailer listing I’ve found confirms this is a standard feature. Beretta’s own product listings and third-party reviewers all describe the adjustable ghost ring rear sight with windage and elevation adjustment as included from the factory.

Picatinny / MIL-STD 1913 top rail — Again, listed as a standard feature across the board. Supposed to be a short segment in front of the rear sight for optics mounting.

I’m already aware that the Canadian versions of the Mod 2 can differ from US versions (e.g., mag capacity is blocked to legal limits, and some Canadians have noted the M-LOK handguard and extended mag tube weren’t included). But I haven’t seen anyone specifically report the rear sight and Picatinny rail being absent.

My questions for the community:

1. Did anyone else receive a Canadian-market 1301 Mod 2 without these components?

2. Is this potentially a Canadian import variant that strips certain features, or is this more likely a fulfillment/packing error on Rangeview’s part?

3. Has anyone had success getting Rangeview or Beretta Canada to remedy something like this?

I have contacted Rangeview directly, but wanted to document this publicly in case others are experiencing the same thing.

Any experience or insight appreciated.

Bought it plain-jane..

Added an XS front sight/ mossberg rear ghost ring, hogue forend, strap from a shockwave, ergo adapter w/ buffer tube, ctr stock mossberg heat shield.

S&j follower.

Grip off a tm22 lol

I modified the Deifox’s 597 magazine design I found online and redesigned it to accept a 3D printed spring. I also made an extended 597 magazine (that can load up to 8 rounds and can possibly load up to 10). The 10/22 to 597 mag adapter design was originally from a guy named Francis Edorikov, but I ended up modifying it quite a bit to make it fit properly and feed reliably.

I will post the file on makerworld once I got permission.

It may or may not work on ur 10/22 🙃

Hope this will help u guys out! Also hope this convince you to get a 3D printer LOL

Or just buy the SBI 10/22 adapter! They work the best! If they restock 😢

Cheers guys!

Is there anything that fires 7.62x25 in Canada or is it just cheap old stock from years ago

My rifle likes 168 FGMM. Wondering if these would be somewhat comparable, since they are a bit cheaper.. better BC also..

https://firearmsoutletcanada.com/magwedge-sks-sight-tool/

This one specifically, has anyone used this and can speak on the quality or function? My sks does not shoot straight because I currently don't have anything to adjust it and would like to get it shooting true

I’m in the market for my first shotgun, mainly for clays. I’ve been seeing over under and side by side Baikal shotguns for super cheap on intersurplus. Are these ultra cheap shotguns worth it or am I basically buying a project/scrap.

They're in at G4C. The OG TM-22 but plastic receiver and furniture?

Here's the copy: "Experience “Fast and Faster” with the Derya FLASH 22lr Rifle (Part of TM22 Series) —a lightweight, precision-driven firearm engineered for rapid handling and unmatched speed in every shot. Featuring an 18″ rifled target barrel, this sleek powerhouse is perfect for shooters craving accuracy, versatility, and lightning-quick performance."

Hyperbole much?

Ive been watching alot of tfb burn down videos and want a cheap semi auto to put a few rounds throug does anyone have any info on this turkey clone or know anything about it?

Ok here me out

I have some good and bad about my experience so far. I have only owned it a week and without firing it I have had a few issues “some my fault”.

The build quality seems to vary on the different firearms themselves. Powder coat is about the same some have noticeable blemishes and some don’t. My original issue was out of the box the trigger group pin did not stay in place. I was hooked up with a new pin and trigger group a few hours after purchase. There is no manual or paperwork shipped with the firearm which is a huge drag. Any new owners to firearms will not have a step by step for disassembly and cleaning. My next issue was taking the trigger group pin out and removing the trigger the spring and keeper went flying. My place of purchase was able to help me out and get me the new components necessary same day. I did end up swapping the trigger group pin out for the True North Arms threaded option. I than upgraded to the TNA ambi mag catch as well.

Looking forward to getting to the range on Sunday and will make an update than.

(Remove if not aloud)

Here's my birthday present to myself. The MD Gunworks Mlock Furniture Kit for my Chiappa Little Badger. Haven't fired it with the new set up but I will soon. I plan on accessorizing the crap out of it. Scope, bipod, grip, flashlight etc.

I was thinking of getting the Canuck Wrangler Blackout but I don't know if I should pull the trigger now or wait to see if Henry or another more maintained company will come out with a tactical lever action. not that I'm saying Canuck isn't reliable, I just know Henry (for example) has been doing lever actions for a little longer

Looking to get into some longer range .22 shooting locally around the lower mainland. Should I be looking heavier than this?

So I've owned a couple Browning BAR Mk3s in 243 over the last couple years and just picked up a Benelli R1 in 308. These guns are similar in function and price so I thought I'd compare the two.

The browning BAR Mk3 is an ok rifle but I'm very disappointed in it's design and performance for a $2K gun. Dont get me wrong, it is comfortable to shoot, looks nice, comes in a good selection of calibers, and has a buttery smooth feeding system and comes with an adjustable gas block. But it is inaccurate, you can get anywhere from 1.5moa to a 4moa rifle. The barrel is bolted to the receiver, not threaded in so after 2-3 shots the gun heats up and the groupings go wild. The nut on the fore end that the sling attaches to has to be torqued 50-60inlbs or the groups open up. It's also made out of soft steel and prone to snapping. The barrel is not free floating so resting it anywhere except close to the magwell throws it off. Oh and you need allen keys, a socket wrench, and a punch set just to field strip it...

The benelli R1 is basically the browning MK3 but none of the flaws. It has a toolless takedown, faster twist rate, and a free floating barrel that is threaded in. For accuracy it's not exactly 1:1 since the benelli is a 308 but the benelli was way more accurate around 1.25-1.5moa and the groups stay consistent as you shoot. I notice the trigger has a slightly lighter break as well. The gun is also more modular, you can; use benelli M4 stocks with some slight modifications, change out the barrel and bolt for different calibers, and is tapped in 5 places on the receiver and 4 places on the barrel to add iron sights. I also like the ergonomics slightly more too. The grip isnt as fat and you can reach the mag release, bolt release, and safety with your index finger.

It just seems like a lot more thought went into the Benelli R1 in design and would definitely be my pick over browning.
