Hello everyone. I’ve been struggling to find an appropriate optic for my Ruger Scout .308. I do not like the traditional scout scope setup, it’s a bit awkward. I’ve tried an LPVO and it was just okay. Looking for opinions and advice from individuals who have used the Spectre or a Spectre clone. I’m open to other optic recommendations as well. Thanks.

Just wanted to throw out a quick review on the metal handguard and grip adapter that Neumann Metalworks just put out. Super reasonably priced, came to I think $170 all in with express shipping included. I am putting a picatinny stock on it but just figured I'd snap some photos of it now, as the stock itself arrives in another day or two.

Super solid feel, easy install, and very cheap for what you get. The handguard and grip were combined, half the price of the Midwest Industries handguard alone, which has also been discontinued I believe.

Did not receive any sort of incentive from NM to write this, just doing so because he was great to interact with, has install tutorials too on his site to make it super easy, and was a great price for all aluminum furniture for it. Super nice to have a modern ergonomic PCC setup again.

Photo doesn't have the picatinny stock installed yet as Im still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Mag in the photo is of course empty, just stuck it in the rifle to complete the look for the photo to show off the furniture.

Very solid kit, good fitment, I love it. It is just a bit over 27" OAL even without the picatinny stock installed, so i believe it is technically legal to use even with just the pistol grip as it is over 26" OAL, someone correct me though if I am remembering wrong or misinterpreting something (I dont intend to use it anyway until I have the remainder of the stock installed).

Just saw this video that came up on my YouTube feed. Prior to 1969 I guess it was legal to hunt with a handgun/revolver. In less than 60 years so much has changed in regards to bs firearms restrictions smh.

Anyways shout out to "The Way to Native Chronicles". He makes a lot of good Canadian gun/hunting content.

Finally got my parts in from Neumann metal works (no thanks to canada post)! Super happy with quality and fitment. This is my first time owning a red dot so im itching to head out to SPFGA as soon as their ranges open back up.

This is the new compact version of the TM22 feather. Functionally it's the same as the normal one but shorter barrel. The last picture is the one I had a while ago and an example of what it can look like with the CAR-15 stock (on the way). I'll eventually get the a few mag basses too. Now that we have top charging handles, it really is the AR at home.

I haven't shot it yet, but I'll do a video on it whenever the stock arrives.

Anybody know what gun his mag would used in? Looks a lot bigger than 5.56-.223 to me.

After acquiring my first exemption for a Ruger MK4 22/45 and posting about it the other day, figured I’d do a follow up showing it in action and providing thoughts for anyone else looking to purchase one with their exemption! Feel free to ask any more questions not answered on the last post about either the gun or the exemption process or anything in between!

First thoughts, came with a lockable hard case, two magazines, one cable lock, and a couple other accessories, so good value out of the gate. As far as shooting, given it’s brand new, there’s bound to be a couple issues that will smooth out with firing over time. Had a couple stovepipes, but that was remedied after sending a few mags down range. The biggest issue was failure to extract (except it reset the firing pin weirdly enough). In the 100 odd rounds I shot, probably every 4th or 5th magazine had one of these. Interestingly, it only ever happened on the 10th round feeding into the 9th, so truthfully, I suspect it’s less the gun’s fault and more the pinned magazine having reliability issues cycling the final couple rounds (which are a squeeze to get in with the round limiting block pinned at the bottom).

Overall, I’m super happy with the purchase, personally. If you were only going to file for one exemption, maybe you’d get something 2000$+. But I figured I’d play it safe and try a cheaper yet reliable pistol as my first exemption, in case it didn’t work out. Needless to say, this is kind of the maverick 88 of rimfire pistols. No nonsense, rugged, dependable, and a small handful of little features to customize.

Next exemption has been requested so I’ll make a post when that happens as well! Thank you to everyone for the attention last post, and to everyone who DM’d, I hope I answered your questions, and feel free to ask any more if you need! And to the few 1 hour old bot accounts that begged for exemptions in my DM’s with exactly the same wording between all of you, better luck next time (poly) ;)

Had a phone call with the CFO wanting to apply for one. They told me they are likely tweaking the program or ending it entirely soon, as people have been taking advantage. They told me I could still apply but they may not process it. I did anyways and they approved it very quickly.

Not sure what the overall outcome will be but if anybody was debating applying just get it done now.

Edit: The ‘taking advantage’ was that they told me people had lent out entire collections of 10-20 guns across the province to different people.

Any recommendations for store and/or website for parts for this beautiful /s rifle?

Does anyone know how to remove the adaptor covering the trigger pins? I stripped the entire lower and can’t figure it out. Also can’t find anything online.

I am located in Calgary, Alberta and want to join a handgun competition however I am uncertain about the requirements around it. My range is located in Rocky Mountain House and has pistol ranges I use often.

Am I required to be IPSC certified for all of the competitions? If so what if my range doesn’t offer this course. Where can I do it.

Ultimately I’d love some advice or even pay for some information as to how one goes about joining a league and shooting competitively.

Thanks ahead of time!

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.

Personally, I shoot my 30-06 with my Barnes Triple Shock TSX reloads.

What do you guys shoot?

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!

Just put the pieces together, havent shot it yet.

Feels fat and plasticky

Wouldnt be my first choice, but pretty good for what we have. I like the ambi controls and the adjustable stock

Does anyone know of any valid discount codes to purchase TACCOM tickets? Through maybe CCFR or CSSA etc. Thanks!

I feel like trying to explain this often is like I am two headed dragon since this field is new and emerging, I kinda trying to explain what happen in simple dumb down terms pragmatically to me with chronic pain syndrome:

So it's a bit complicated, but new research interlinks ADHD can cause chronic pain in depth, and stimulants can dramatically help, along with other meds like pramipexole. As someone who is AuADHD: I have to wave said study data in doctors' faces and find a new doctor who actually listens and works with their patients.

Please give me Vyvanse and pramipexole to fix my chronic pain based on study data because everything else they've tried has failed or been mismanaged.

Now I can go pew pew with guns without my back being in 8/10 pain afterwards taking Vyvanse and pramipexole, and it's resolving a really severe disability I've had since 2019.

I am also not making up things, Dr. S Kasahara has lead in depth studys within this field and has a whole mini study review on neurodivergent chronic pain management:

Got out to the “range” tonight. Shot a variety of firearms. Had alot of fun! if you don’t care to read all this skip to the end where I get to the point. The Savage axis 308 in an mdt field stock reached out to 500 yards on steel with a crappy tasco 4-16x50 I really need to swap it out for something better it’s very yellow and grainy. The taipan x in .223 shot some decent 2” groups at 100 yards. I need to work on my steadiness Messed around with the wrangler blackout in 357 it really rings the 1/2 ar500 plates. Obliterated some 2l milk jugs with the Ege Levar12s and put a couple hundred rounds through the 2 tm22’s the 16” pro is growing on me it runs really nice have a cheap cvlife 1-4 lpvo on it nice crisp picture although 1x seems like it’s almost zoomed out and 1.5 seems to be no magnification it’s also fairly accurate averaging 1-1.5” groups at 25 yards just shooting federal auto match and less than 4” groups at 100 yards as i can hit the 4” ar500 plate pretty much everytime.

Okay here’s the end. the Morisson lever iron wolf is still my hands down favorite plinker. I was having some light strike issues after 400 ish rounds which turned out to be gummed up firing pin I think it was 1 in 5 light striking and I cleaned the pin out with brake clean and air and it came out black and chunky. Tonight I tried it out for the first time since cleaning and first shot. Light strike. Damn it okay let’s keep going well the next 70 rounds no light strikes so I’m thinking it’s fixed lol. Also pretty sweet groups at 25 yards the bottom group was free standing (I’m fat and out of shape) the top 2 were sitting and resting elbows on the table. Not to bad the more I get out the better I’ll get. Shit this part was long too sorry guys I’ve got no friends and my wife doesn’t wanna listen to me ramble about this stuff. Anyways get out there and have fun!

Bought an heirloom shotgun and it’s been fine for a few years, this summer was brutally humid in my house and I took it out for a 6 month checkup/dusting and noticed pitting and rust on the barrel.

Would a re-oiling and dehumidifier fix this or should I get the barrel re-blued ?

(Using 3 in 1 Oil rather than a gun specific oil - should I use something else?)

stock and forend made of synthetic wood that’s nearly indestructible and waterproof (and looks absolutely gorgeous), stainless engraved receiver, interchangeable chokes, original transport case. everything i dreamed of

Thanks to u/JinkalinkNinja post (https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/1v194kt/tm22_pro_bolt_hold_open/) a few days ago, and his great idea, I've have made a thing! It's a replacement safety switch that also works as a bolt hold open on a stock configuration TM-22. Still in crude prototyping stages, but it's very promising.
