Wondering what kind of optics people have had good luck with on their shotguns. I know many will say the standard irons or beads are all you need, but I'm looking for an upgrade, and I'm torn between Utg pro flip ups or an actual red dot...for the latter, what would hold zero consistently but also not be silly on the price end? I am aware you get what you pay for, but I'm always for paying less (or reasonable) for quality.

Hello all,

Just bought a Tikka T3X Hunter .270 Win for deer and moose hunting and I am looking at scope options to mount on it.

Looking to spend no more than $1500.

I don't expect to shoot across huge stretches of fields, but might have to shoot an animal across a lake (300 meters or so).

I am looking at the Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 or 4.5-14x40.

It is probably worth mentioning that this will be my very first hunting rifle and my first hunting season.

Thank you for your time!

I'm looking to get myself a life-long gun, and I'd like some feedback.

I'm look at getting a Renegade in 5.56 with the following mods:

Magpul M-Lok Bipod
Triggertech 2-stage 3.5lbs duty trigger
Sig Saur TANGO 1-8x FFP LPVO (maybe 1-6x and/or SFP)
MRA Solid-Rock muzzle
MRA Ambidextrous mag release
Hogue OverMolded Rubber Grip (maybe with beavertail)
Magpul ACS Stock

What do you guys think? Is there anything you recommend as alternatives or to stay away from?
I am relatively familiar with firearms, but I'm still new to building more complex set-ups.

I'm new to measuring splits between shots, and curious what everyone's baseline is for medium bore rifles at 25 yards or so?

Trying to decide if I should put together a 223 trainer or just run a lot of snap cap drills.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to .22LR and trying to figure out what a good price per round actually is.

I’m looking at CCI Mini-Mag and my local Bass Pro Shops has it on sale for about $0.13/round if I pick it up in-store.

I’ve seen cheaper prices online, but once I factor in shipping, it seems to come out the same or even more.

Is $0.13/round considered a good deal these days for Mini-Mags? Or should I wait and hunt for better pricing?

Also curious, what do you personally consider a “buy now” price per round (after shipping)?

Thanks!

Is this revolver considered antique thinking about getting back into guns kinda at a loss with pistols I've seen posts of old welby revolvers legal im just wondering the legality of this one its a very neat old russian pistol it is a gas seal chamber making it one of the only supressor compatible revolvers very innovative for its time it would be a nice collectible im into old revolvers.

Good evening my fellow shooters. I've been going down a rabbit hole of looking up old milsurp rifles and the consensus is the Swiss k31 is the best out of the ones I was looking at, mosin was another but from what I saw on posts and reviews the k31 is just better overall. So my question is wheres a good place to pick up one from ? I saw a few sites here in canada that are selling them. The prices range from 699-1200. Im assuming the price range is because of the overall grade of the rifle etc. Should there be anything to watch out for in terms of grade?. Like Rack Grade seems to be decent enough. Anyway thanks for reading and any help I get !

Hey everyone I am planning to buy my first .22lr. I have narrowed down my list to Ruger 10/22, Ruger American.22 lr and Savage Mark 2. I am afraid to buy a semi auto as they might just ban it. I need some help with choosing the best out of three. If you have any other better recommendations within same budget please let me know.

Right now I am between these two rifles

CVA cascade sr 80 308

Ruger American scout gen 2 308

I like the scout rifle concept for its lightweight design and shorter barrel for use in the back country, also as an alternative “battle rifle” considering we can’t get AR 10s anymore.

Biggest factor leaning me to the Ruger now is the full length rail, non proprietary mag, and shorter barrel

I'm looking for a very compact scope for a little badger.

I'm not sure if I just want to put an SU16D rear peep sight on the pic rail and swap out the front sight for the Bad Ace adjustable front sight, or if I should just put a proper aluminum pic rail on top in place of the plastic one, and look for a tiny scope.

This is a survival rifle, so I want something compact that won't take up a lot of space. The rifle is being taken down and packed in a small pocket in a rucksack. I want something tiny and super reliable. No batteries. Doesn't need big magnification, 1x is fine. Just something basic that holds zero well.

Just picked this up (Henry All Weather Big Boy .357) and it comes ready for a sling attachment. Looking for recommendations, I’m thinking of one that holds ammo but also something that aesthetically complements the look.

I am this [ ] close to buying one. It is on sale for 1199.99 from 1399.99.

Should I wait and pick up a Henry ? I like the side gate and I am really interested in the 16", and the price difference between the Rossi and the S&W and Marlin is a pretty huge difference.

Are these guns regularly in stock? Regularly on sale? I want 357 to use at the range but also to toss over my shoulder to hunt if need be sub 100yds.

Is it worth the extra $$ for something else? Or would this be a good gun to scratch the cowboy itch. Anyone own Henry's and Rossi's and can attest to owning both?

Hello comrades. Or whatever the equivalent is in China.

Have a Type 56 and was finishing up with at the range, went to clear it and throw the safety on, and the safety stop broke right off like butter.

Owned it for years without issue, now due to the SKS craze, I can’t find a replacement online.

Anybody got a line on a site that’s got any in stock?

Thanks boys, happy shooting

Looking to buy yet another rifle to add. Looking at something. 308. I like the henry 308 single shot. Debating if I should buy something military surplus like k11, mosin, mauser, enfield.

Budget of 1000

What do you suggest? (I do reload)

Without reporting the account.

Went to purchase a new chassis for my 457 and noticed everything on the MDT website is out of stock. Did I miss something? Posting here as they are a great Canadian company!

Looking to put together a 10/22 but I can't find any bolts for sale. Most places are sold out or have stopped carrying them.

Whats going on that could that could impact the availability? I've never seen this much demand for 10/22 bolts. I know Dlask is shutting down so I guess kidd bolts are unobtainable now?

Hey fellow gun owners,

I’m looking for my first shotgun and I’m leaning towards an over-under. I’ll be using it for clay bashing.

Since I’m left-handed, I’ve found that over-unders are a great start for me, rather than semi-autos.

I don’t hunt, so this will be purely for clay shooting, target practice at the range, and other activities.

I’d love to know your recommendations for my first over-under. Ideally, I’m looking to spend between $1,000 and $1,500, either used or new.

I went to my closest Ramakko’s and saw a used Browning Citori with a 30-inch barrel. It’s in pretty good condition and they’re selling it for around $1,500 CAD plus taxes.

What do you think? Is that a good price? Also, when can I find private ads so I can compare different options?

Since this is my first gun, I don’t want to go over budget. Maybe I’ll stick with semi-autos or a different gauge in the future, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Guys, planning to purchase cz 600 trail.
Help me out which one to go with!
For Target shooting and mid game hunting.

I haven’t purchased a firearm in over a year and the Benelli M4 has always been my dream shotgun but the Beretta 1301 has been catching my attention a lately. I always want to get one before our lame ass government bans them.

Would love to hear everyone’s honest opinions!

Saw this seemingly Canadian made .22 on Western Metal. Takes 10/22 mags. Can't find any I found or reviews, was wondering if anyone has any experience with these Northernrim Rifles. Seems like a too good to be true price for a domestic.

Do you prefer them to traditional frisbee clays? And are the rotors easy to source?

Hello there, got myself a 20ga mossberg 500 field, looking for a good recommendation on a top sight for the gun, little ball sight just isint enough for me, anyone got any good budget friendly options to reccomend?

Used to be bigger into guns when I was in army and was collecting and shooting a lot with my friend group back in those days. Took a break for 10 years as I was moving around a lot and had kids etc got busy with work and life.

Will ask my bro as he's a big hunter but wanted to ask here. I know obviously we have more signals about legality being more restricted, curious on approach to acquiring new guns in that context. Which guns seem safer in context of legality now? Do we have any forecasts on where Canada is actually going to end up in terms of what we will be allowed to own in 10 more years? Any rules of thumb for what gets a gun banned?

My second question is about value and technology. What has changed in terms of value with manufacturers in the market? Back in early 2010s there were a lot of Chinese brands entering market but quality was known to be poor. I bought a Russian SKS for $200 with 1000 rounds which was a great fix for getting rounds down range. Curious what are the go-tos for casual shooting practice now and also if there's any new trends in terms of technology.

Finally, any general suggestions for what to pick up for general use? I don't have hunters license but would like to grab something that's good for marksmanship training and could also be used for hunting once I get license. Probably want to go for deer but there's a fuckton of quail in my area too
