Recently got my pal and have always wanted a benelli m4 but obviously the price tag is quite expensive. I’ve read around that panzer and canuck clones are good quality but a fraction of the cost.

I’d like to hear from some members what their opinions are.

Saw this back in stock at my local gun shop, 357 magnum. Weight and length all felt good, just a little pricy. Wondering if it’s worth the price tag in terms of reliability and value. Also would it make a good hunting rifle?

Price is 2200$

Any recommendations is appreciated, thanks.

Local guy wanting $900.

I've found a few for the $600-ish range, but not matching, or a tickler, or just abused.

I decided to stick with the OG and get a tactical stock one day if I'm inclined. Anyway, that advice helped on a previous post, but many in it also aren't SKS fans.

So for the fans, this is the cleanest example I've found around here. Fair deal?

If Turkish semi automatics and Crusader arms are selling their semi autos for $2000, this seems like a better option for $2400 ish. I know it’s expensive but I’m willing to pay $400 more for a quality rifle. It’s a 308 with a detachable box magazine. There’s a couple places taking preorders. Delivery probably won’t be until November.

Obviously it’s expensive but what do you guys think about this rifle?

Also which colour should I get? I’m leaning toward the wood furniture but I also like the camo one with the light coloured barrel.

I'm itching for an SKS and would adore owning an original, unbastardized example. But the looks and tinkering options of these aftermarket builds got me intrigued.

They're priced the same as any other SKS usually, but I've heard bad things about the quality of some of them. Are these prices fair and a good option for a first time SKS owner? Or should I stay traditional?

Ended up buying the safe and taking it home today. First impressions are good. Seems solid and well enough put together. Weighs in at 335lbs. Light enough I was able to move it with a regular dolly fairly easy. There is a fair amount of modularity inside and it comes with 2 large lag bolts and anchors. There is also a backup key hole behind the keypad. Now all that's left to do is fill it up!

How is tbis worth 7000$ more than a Marlin Dark?

This is getting way outta control

I went to the double-decker South Common Canadian Tire in Edmonton. My very first time, I was so excited to see hundreds of Edmonton guns that would rival Leduc Canadian Tire's selection!

Had some tax return money to spend.

And then this happened...

Hi all!

I have recently got my PAL and wanna go hunting this fall.

I dont wanna hunt moose for a couple years. The only reason for getting a gun rn is to hunt whitetail deer.

I know people would say buy a tikka t3x lite and all.

But i dont wanna buy it right now. Wanted a rifle chambered in 270 Winchester/ 6.5 CM for the forgiving trajectory and recoil as im super new to shooting. But in a couple years id go buy a tikka t3x chambered in 308 winchester.

I have narrowed down my search and these are the rifles i would pick one from:

1. Winchester xpr bolt action (270 win)

2. Weatherby vanguard (270 win)

3. Mossberg patriot predator(6.5 CM)

4. Ruger gen 1 bolt action(270 win)

5. Savage axis xp2 (6.5 CM)

Please help me choose and if need be advise on other models.

Edit: I thank all of you who have given me excellent advice. I really didnt know the gun community in Canada is soooooo friendly. You guys are all amazing !

I’m thinking I can add one to my KSG12 and one to my Adler RF224.

I know there are better Vortex red dots, but I saw a couple of YouTube reviews, and with it being on sale, it looks like a good deal. Am I wrong?

I'm set to get my pal when the hunting seasons starts but I'm looking for guns now because I love the blue balls. Any suggestions on semi auto .308? I've been looking at the MRA Maverick but that's still a straight pull. Any advice is greatly appreciated

$1200 for a French tickler seems pretty egregious. Are SKSs still worth it at this value or are there alternatives at better value points?

From what I understand, cutting a cannon on a rifle is illegal under 18 inches. But you can buy a rifle with a cannon under 18 inches if it’s made that way. Cutting a stock is also illegal if the total length falls under 26 inches. I plan to buy a heritage roughrider with a 16 inch cannon and 32inch overall length, so here’s my questions:

1- Can I trim the stock on the red line as long as I respect the 26 inches rule?

2- Is there an official way to measure a rifle from a precise point to another? Or is the rifle considered legal if you lay it down on a tape and it touches the 0 and 26 no matter the part or the angle of the gun?

3- Can I make a custom holster and shoot that bad boy with one hand like a regular revolver?

4- At what point does a rifle become a pistol to the eye of the law?

I just put a down payment on a Henry supreme 5.56 at my local gun store. I was under the impression that these magazines have to be pinned to 5 but my gun store employee said it's a 10 round limit which makes no sense to me. Is there some sort of loophole that he knows about and I don't? Or was he bullshitting / mistaken? Pic for attention.

​

Regardless, what is the best magazine option for these things in Canada? All I'm going to be using it for is target shooting for now.

​

Thanks In advance!

As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.

Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.

Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.

I’m planning to get 30-06 bar or 308 rifle. I’m stuck in between, i’m a frugal guy with sports shooting passion in indoor rage

Which semi-auto shotgun?

I’m debating between a few options. The main goal is to have a “do-it-all” shotgun for:

• Casual clay sports (trap and skeet)
• Hunting
• General range use

Beretta A300 Ultima 28”

This one goes for about $1,400.

Mossberg 940 Pro Field 28”

I can get this one for $899, or the Cerakote version for $1,149.

Mossberg 940 JM Pro 24”

This one goes for about $1,320.

I like the JM Pro because of the 24” barrel. It doesn’t seem too long or too short, and it feels like a good middle ground. I can’t seem to find the A300 with a 24” barrel, at least on Almost Prohibited.

I know there’s no true “one-size-fits-all” shotgun, but I’m trying to stay under $1,500 and get something that comes as close as possible to covering all three uses.

What would you pick, and why? Any other models I should be looking at in this price range?

Got my pal a few months ago and I’ve been scared to buy my first gun, then finally at a Canadian tire, a very nice dude spent some time and went over a bunch of them with me.

I want to get a Mossberg 590A1 Compact, out of all of them it felt natural and very nicely balanced.

I am planning a trip to the range (never owned a gun, shot one or been close to them other than gaming ).

Anyone have any inputs about it ? I am going to be 3-4 times a year at the range and then going hunting. I am not crazy into guns, but wanted something decent and based on the seller this is the best bang for my buck.

Thank you!

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

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

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.

Hey guys, I've got me a nice hunting rifle and a good shotgun, a Tikka t3x, and a mossberg 590, looking to get into semi autos and just looking for recommendations from anybody who's shot the specific models and what they would recommend? I fired the SKS and the Citadel, was wondering about the akdas and Henry homesteader, any advice would be nice

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?
