The 4 Rules of Handling Firearms:

Hi everyone I would like to idealy get both of these evantually but the savage axis currently 28% off and can get it for cheaper than the ruger.Both are combos with the scope. If the Savage goes on sale often id maybe just grab the ruger first and wait for the next sale. Good chance the ruger gets a 25% tarrif after tuesday? I could probably order it asap and avoid the price hike.

Idealy id just buy both because they aren't too expensive but the wife wouldn't be happy 3 guns in 2 days... lol Which would you go for first ?

After almost 4 months of waiting. I have finally received my Raven in 5.56/.223 northern lights colour. I absolutely love how the colour changes depending on the angle. Goes from blue/green tint shades

Hello everyone, not sure if this is allowed but I don’t know anyone that shoots/hunts. Wondering if anyone is in the area, and open for a new shooting buddy.

Cope rifle that costs more than it should but I can’t deny loving the look of this thing. Any others have comments on how these things shoot ?

Just got a Mossberg 500 on sale at Cabelas for $499. $565 all in. I was going to wait a few months but after these Tariffs I’m worried the prices are going to go up.

What are your thoughts on this?

I buy Canadian ammo for practice & hunting anyway so I’m not really worried about that.

Winchester 1873 Short Rifle w/ Marble peep sight. Looks 👌👌👌👌 especially in the snow.

I think I know the answer to this already but I would like to hear what others think. Buy before the tariff’s, I want a .357 Henry X Lever Action. None in stock, would .410G be ideal then?

A local arms company is selling a 10” barrel for the Derya Arms TM22. I’m pretty interested in this, but I wanted to ask the “rifle” community, or obviously anyone on this Canada guns Reddit, if it’s really worth doing that to a .22? AND, has anyone done this to their rifle. What are the pro’s and con’s? Thanks, and sorry if it’s a pretty vague question, but just wanted to get some input on it.

Strategy is pretty simple, every time I see a good sale buy up some boxes. Just picked up some challengers

Hello! I'm a first time poster so I'm sorry if anything I say sounds very newbie.

I've started looking into getting a PAL and owning a gun for the first time. From what I read online, Handguns are considered Restricted and you can only buy one under very specific conditions (Basically for work, or for sports?...)

Considering it seems impossible for me to buy a Handgun because of this, is there any other good reason to get a Restricted license? I ask because most places seem to offer deals if you take both courses in the same weekend.

Thank you for reading. I apologize again if this is very newbie to ask, I only started reading about these things recently, and government resources on Restricted weapons are very convoluted and sometimes misleading.

Hi folks,

I will mainly be hunting in BC and Alberta for deer, elk, moose, and hopefully bison.

Looking to start hunting. Leaning towards a Tikka T3x, not sure what calibre.

Any suggestions for rifles and calibres? If possible I’d love to have just one rifle.

My friends and family who hunt have used a 270, 308, 30-06, and 7mm rem mag and claim you can’t go wrong with any of these. Curious to hear some more opinions. Thanks!

Going to hold ‘em in my hands this week. Semi auto sounds fun, Benelli I assume will feel alot better tho What y’all think?

Does anyone know if they are still open or accepting new applicants for high-power shooting? All the information I can find on the website is a few years old.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking to buy a rifle for my wife and the new Ruger was on top of my list because of all the accessories it already has (cheek riser, picatinny rail, butt adjustments),but I started digging into the problems, and a lot of people seems to have the feeding chambering issues.

Is it that common or just a batch?

I use to have the whole Famae 54x set in my collection but slowly just sold them off. Found this photo of the 540-1 while cleaning up my Google drive and it just has me thinking about other things I had before.

I had a lot of fun shooting them but as I got more into competition shooting they got sidelined. Just a shame considering I did enjoy shooting them for the most part, accuracy wasn't great but serviceable. At least they were reliable and never gave me any headaches.

Selling guns is always a mistake, unless it's a Canadian made AR180.

I have an LH Tika T3X Stainless in 6.5CM and am looking to move to a ACIS mag so I can buy a few and load them at home before heading to the range.

I'm considering getting an MDT LSS-XL Gen 2 chassis in left-handed so that I can both upgrade my stock to a chassis and also be able to use ACIS mags. What I'm unsure of is do I need to replace the bottom metal as well or does adding the chassis do what I need? Their web site makes it seem like no bottom metal is needed.

Side question is the rifle is pretty new and feels slightly sticky when I run the bolt. It's like after I fire it, it won't open and come back easy. I almost have to "pop" it up then it is smooth back in.

Looking for any advice on finally getting my first rifle. Is the ATI SKS Rifle any good from the link? I'm mainly looking for something to start out with, small game up to coyote maybe for around the property, cheaper ammo for firing range, basically an all around starter riffle, maybe even a .22lr, any recommendations would be great.

Due to the recent trade dispute initiated by the US Govt, the CDN Govt has imposed retaliatory tariffs which apply to some US Made firearms.

The Canadian list of HS Codes covered by the 25% tariff are:
9302.00.00 - Revolvers and pistols, other than those of heading 93.03 or 93.04.
9303.10.00 - Muzzle-loading firearms
9303.20.10 - Pump or slide-action shotguns
9303.20.90 - Other shotguns
9303.30.10 - Bolt-action or semi-automatic .22 calibre rimfire rifles,
9303.30.90 - Other rifles, centrefire
9303.90.10 - Apparatus for the destruction of predatory animals by the discharge of poisonous cartridges; Automatic explosive bird-scaring devices
9303.90.90 - Other like above line
9304.00.10 - Guns and pistols, spring or gas
9304.00.90 - Other air guns
9306.21.00 - Cartridges
9306.29.00 - Other cartridges
9306.30.10 - basically.... cartridges
9306.30.90 - basically, rifle cartridges

It should mean that these items, if Made in USA, are now subject to 25%tariff on import. This does NOT apply to items manufactured outside the USA, such as Europe.

Note that 9305 which covers parts of rifles, shotguns, etc., is NOT covered by these tariffs.

Update: Optics/Red Dots are NOT covered by these tariffs.

Let's hope this aggression against Canada is over quickly.

Does anybody know of a Canadian company that builds a motorized target mover for rimfire? I found this one company in the USA that looks like they have a fairly simple unit. Link below

Does anyone know where these are in stock? I'm having a hard time finding one with the 8" handguard. Also if you have one what are your thoughts on it?

I'm looking for a 1st hunting rifle. I don't need anything fancy, I intend to hunt dear once a year. What do you think of this Savage axis on sale at 460$ ?

Edit: this rifle
