Anyone from Winnipeg, MB been the new princess auto store?

What selection did they have for ammo, guns and reloading supplies?

Thanks

Edit: They sell federal, Hornady and Remington winchester ammo. Some bulk ammo in .223. Prices are either slightly above or slightly lower when compared to other stores like Canadian tire etc, depends on calibre.

They sell some reloading stuff, projectiles and brass. No primers or powder.

Slightly disappointed overall imo

Looking for advice/input on what to get or build.

I want a hybrid rifle chambered in .308. One that is good for backpacking/hunting/target shooting. I don’t want it to be only a bench rifle, for that I will get a Tikka T3X Ace Target or TAC A1 most likely in 6.5 Creedmor.

So far I’m trying to choose between

Sig Cross 16”
MRA Maverick 12.5” or 16”
Tikka CTR w/ MDT HNT26 Chassis
Tikka CTR w/ MDT The Tactical-LSS Gen3 Kit
Tikka CTR w/ MDT The Worker-LSS Gen3 Kit
Tikka components

They all have their pros/cons and tradeoffs.

Preferably I would like a shorter barrel.

I’d really appreciate your input/advice and thank you in advance for your responses!

Just saw this new derya semi on sfrc, anyone got one?

Curious what y'all would suggest for a cheap bolt. 22. Caught between a norinco or a used coey model 60. Open to other suggestions too https://www.gotenda.com/product/norinco-jw-15a-22-lr-bolt-action-rifle-wood-w-ammo-combo/

I never owned a sks but shot couple of those at range rental, it is horrible inaccurate and a bit problematic, if a semi auto rifle requires u to manually pull the brass out frequently so it can cycle then it should called a semi/straight pull...(jk that sks prob been thru more rounds than bonnie blue) anyways the cheapest new sks i can find is at tenda for 729cad w a tan ati stock. is it even worth to spend that much bucks to get a sks?

I made a post a few days ago and got a lot of good feedback. My previous post

I’ve narrowed it down to three options. If you have thoughts on a specific model (ex. Tikka varmint vs CTR) please let me know in the comments or if you have a different suggestion that isn’t listed.

I know legal is in the title and I'm begging you guys not to let this devolve into a conversation about legislation; I just want something I can take up north to fuck around with in peace. Onto the post.

I'm in the CAF and my unit doesn't get as much time as I'd like with the rifles. Before that gets sensationalized, I'm not in a trade where thats as relevant anyway - however when we go on tactical exercises I don't like having to take a minute to remember my stoppage drills, field stripping, etc. I'm looking for any rifle, any calibre, that functions the same way as the C7. I know I could get an airsoft clone but I'd prefer to have something that fires. Of course, anything closer to 5.56/.223 Remy ammo would be nice, but Im looking for the cheapest thing that works and fires real ammunition and is legal. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hey folks,

I’m new to firearms and thinking about getting a used lever-action .22 as my first rifle. I like the classic style, the ammo is affordable, and it seems like a good way to learn the basics.

For someone buying their first gun, is a used lever-action .22 a good idea?

What models should I be looking at?

What should I check before buying used?

Any red flags with older .22 lever guns?

I want something reliable, safe, and fun to learn on. Not trying to overcomplicate it.

Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for some recommendations I currently have a savage axis in .308win it’s in a mdt field stock. Had an older tasco 4-16 scope. It works it great but I want something different/better/tacticool. I’m considering 3 options.
I plan on upgrading to an Arken epl4 6-25x50 scope regardless of what I do

Option 1 buy a new axis 2 with the fluted and treaded barrel so I can add a brake and what not then swap my feild stock out and list the old axis to recoupe some

Option 2 utas straight pull .308

Option 3 (leaning this way, just most expensive by far) savage 110 precision also in .308

I do mostly bench shooting and have targets currently out to 500 yards. I think the 110 is my best option. The axis2 would by far be the cheapest upgrade and the utas just looks cool and they claim to be accurate plus I like straight pulls. Is there something else I should be looking at? I’d like to stay under/around that 2k and only consider .308 as I have a good stock of ammo and I grew up shooting with that. I like it okay.

Waiting for my PAL, browsing a bunch of sites looking for the right one. Is there a reason there's no customer reviews? I cant seem to find any decent reviews.

Anyways, your recommendations are greatly appreciated, I will be looking into a pump action shotgun as well. West Coast if that matters.

Cheers

I really want a handgun but can’t qualify for the reasons to get it like the revolver ”rifles” but with no stock instead a pistol grip or any where I can install it myself

I got my PAL this year and I’ve been looking at a few guns to add to my collection. I’ve currently got a Benelli Lupo in 6.5 Creedmoor and I’m eyeing the Beretta 1301, but I’m also looking to get into clay shooting, but honestly I’ve never fired an over/under shotgun and the only shotguns I’ve fired at a clay shoot was an ancient Browning Auto 5 (which was dope). My thinking was if I get the 1301, that fills the semi-auto niche, and maybe I look at an O/U, but all the recommended ones online are quite expensive! The one that seemed most appealing was the Beretta 688 but for one of these shotguns, it totals up to more than the Lupo and 1301 lol.

So what should I be looking at? I don’t mind spending more, but what would keep me in the sport through absolute novice up to somewhat experienced over the next few years?

Talk me out of buying this rifle in 6.5 creedmoor with a 24 inch barrel. It's nearly $3k.

Looking for something 99% range use that I can take hunting maybe one or two times. I've never been hunting before but want to try it out. Main use will be as a target gun at 300 yards or less. I have another range nearby that goes out to 800, but I am not a member. I want to print holes in paper close together. My other guns are an sks, MRA renegade, shotgun, and 22s.

I want to get into reloading but have no setup yet. I will put some sort of $1k-$1.5k ffp optic on this.

My main concerns are:

- price. I wanted the regular hmr, but it's out of stock everywhere and has been for over 2 months. I know I get more for my money with the pro, but is it worth it?

- calibre. Given I want to reload, won't likely go past 300 yards, and might hunt, do I get a 308 instead? These only come in 20 inch barrels. Seems like a waste also to put a 308 into a target rifle chassis, etc like the pro provides. A regular hmr in 308 might make sense.

- What about tikka? I know their actions are smooth, but I've also heard great things about the Bergara hmr pro's. Rem 700 vs tikka systems, mag compatibility, etc. Not like the t3x CTR is in stock anywhere either.

You are me. What do you do?

I got a tm22 wondering what attachments I should get.

So I’ve got a bit of a quandary as of late. I moved to the Yukon this year and I’m looking to add a lever action to my safe. I currently have a .303 and a 12ga and I’m looking for a rifle that’s going to be cheaper than .303 to shoot at $3+ a round up here (hence a pistol calibre) and I’m torn between going for a .357 and a .44.
The way I see it the .357 is half the cost to shoot (even less for .38 spl) but the .44 offers far more peace of mind for protection from moose or bears if it comes down to it.
I do anticipate that most of my usage will be on the range but since I only have the means to get one more gun atm I am looking for it to do a bit of double duty and I don’t want to get a .357 for the range that I won’t be able to take into the bush and put to work.
I’m looking for any insight on whether the .357 would be sufficient (with appropriate hard cast ammo to be sure) for protection in the chance of bear or moose encounters
For reference I’m currently looking at either Marlin 1894 or one of the Henry options and I’m open to other suggestions
*as some have brought up, I’m looking for something for backpacking as my 12ga is 24” and I want something a bit smaller and lighter than that

Good day, looking to pu my second toy and wondering what people’s thoughts are on 12-16 or 18 for accuracy and ergonomics?
Will be metal version
Cheers

TLDR: The “lifetime warranty” that they very clearly advertise all over their product boxes and on their website only applies if you have a US address. They also claim “no receipt required” despite that being a blatant lie.

———

I thought I’d give Crimson Trace a try. I wasn’t too sure about them, but it seemed like it was worth a try since they very clearly and repeatedly advertise a lifetime warranty all over their products.

I purchased this scope a while back for a hunting rifle. Life got extremely in the way and I haven’t been able to even think about hunting again until this coming November. Because of this, I finally took the scope out to zero. Took a single shot, went to adjust the elevation for the first time, and the turret was completely locked up.

I gave crimson trace a call and they claimed that they require a receipt despite their own website clearly stating “no receipt required”. Between a basement flood amongst other things, I have no idea where the receipt would be or if it even still exists.

The receipt issue doesn’t matter though because upon hearing my Canadian shipping address, they told me that they cannot handle a warranty claim unless I have a US address. I guess the “lifetime warranty” plastered all over the box is just decoration on the products that are sold in Canada or anywhere else outside of the US.

It seems I now have a paper weight worth over a month of my discretionary income. Don’t be an idiot like me and buy from this company.

What do y’all reccomend for a cheap semi auto .22

I like spending time in the forest and I work (well, I would work, if there wasn’t a recent huge budget cut) in the forestry industry. With that in mind, I always considered getting a nice compact gun to stow away in my pack for peace of mind, ease of carrying, and maybe some spontaneous hunting.

I know of the Chippa Little/Double Badger, as well as the Mossberg Shockwave, Savage 24 and 42, and various other Turkish sloppers, but I was curious if there were any other options any of you would recommend?

New, used, antique, doesn’t matter much, just something nice that folds up compactly, but ideally stays in one piece. I have an old takedown Remington Model 10, but it breaks down into two pieces and takes a few minutes to put together which I find less convenient.

I’m in a very lucky position to be looking into the idea of an investment gun. So I’m looking for some ideas and advice. If you were going to invest in something but would also shoot it maybe once a year with a budget of $15-20k, what would you get? If it was also “ban-proof” that would be nice. Hit me with ideas team!

Yay or nay? $499 CT.

I forgot to add some context here.

I’m planning to put at least five in there:

1. Kel-Tec KSG12 with a red dot
   
2. Adler 224 with a red dot
   
3. Renegade with a Vortex Venom
   
4. Mossberg 590R
   
5. TBD

Good day all, just received my pal right at the 28 day mark for valid which I’m happy about. My question is looking for a 22 for range target for my15 year son and myself.
Thoughts are derya TM-22 metal or a Ruger 22 custom like the Archangel

While very impatiently waiting for the Makasi I've been looking at different stocks since I hate the wire stocks look. Where the hell are we supposed to get stocks from? From what I've read online its sort of a gray area with getting them shipped from the US. And a definite NO NO for going to the US and bringing one back, and I've seen maybe 3 options in Canada total once you remove the airsoft parts from the equation. Can someone clear this up for me?
