Canadian here.

I’m curious which rifle brands are the most popular in your specific country for big game hunting?

Is it mostly Tikka’s and Bergara’s?

Here on the low end it’s mostly the American offerings, Ruger Americans, Savage Axis, Mossberg patriot as well as Tikka T3X.

Model 70s, Remington 700s and Marlin lever rifles are also fairly popular here.

Curious how it compares in Europe.

So, CZ is the most popular among sport shooters and KMR is new, but getting positive reviews.

What about revolvers? I think Alfa Proj is the most famous. Is Kroko Kora still operating? Are there any others?

For knives, I know ANV (Acta Non Verba). Any other Czech manufacturer that makes combat knives?

Can someone from the Czech Republic confirm how popular the companies I listed are in their own country?

Went shooting with a Beretta M9 today and it was jamming so often I had to switch to a Glock. Do they just do that or was the particular gun poorly maintained or something?

Hi! Finnish gun collector here. I was wondering how different countries in Europe go with gun collecting and buying full autos? I'm collecting guns that Finnish army or police used or tested from year 1918-. I'm currently waiting if Sako is willing to sell Finnish army new assault rifle to civilian collectors. The gun in the picture is my KP m/44 submachine gun.

In Finland you can collect and shoot full auto guns when you get a "gun collectors license". You won't be able to buy full auto guns at first but after a couple of years you could get full autos as well. There's no really no restrictions what you can or can't collect, as long as you can send police an application with coherent list of guns that you're willing to collect and you have a safe space where to keep them.

I know Switzerland allows full autos for private individualds but shooting them can be difficult. I'm not sure about Nordic countries besides Finland.

I've seen a few posts on here about guns in Greece, with comments mainly from Americans looking to move there with their guns. I was curious if any actually attempted and succeeded, and if so, what that process looked like?

I've got a 9mm handgun I'd like to bring with me to Greece to use at a shooting club when I move there.

So, I am 16 years old and live in Denmark. I have been wanting to get a blank gun since guns fascinate me, but I don’t really want a real gun. I found this: https://www.lundemoellen.dk/shop/smith-wesson-9-81417p.html (Smith and Wesson 9mm PAK gun), and I was wondering if anybody could tell me if I can actually get a license for it, or if I would need a better reason, such as dog training. I do own dogs, so I could theoretically say I needed it for that purpose without lying completely, no?

Should be very reliable with a great single stage trigger at ~1.000 grams and ideally modular so that I can upgrade to lightweight stock, Picatinny and m-lok handguard. Budget is up to 1.500 eur

I'm looking for my first suppressor for my 9mm gun (CZ P10C). I can pick between:

1. A-TEC PMM6 (https://www.a-tec.no/silencers/pistol-silencers/a-tec-pmm-6)
2. B&T IMPULS - OLS (https://bt-ag.ch/en/produkt/bt-impuls-ols-pistol-suppressor-cal-9mm/)
3. ACHERON APS E2 (https://acheron.ch/en/produkt/acheron-aps-e2/)

All are pretty much in the same price range (around 600€). A-TEC looks best on paper (36db, weighs 215g and is modular), compared to ACHERON (32db, 242g) and B&T (28db, 250g).

Does anybody have any experience with all of them? Which is better in the real world and why?

Thank you for all your help :)

Hey

I'm looking for a new suppressor for use with AR-15. What i want is flow through technology (little to none backpressure), flash reduction and low weight. I picked three products and i'm looking for your opinions.

1. B&T Print-X RBS Inconel - relatively new option, not much reviews but looks promising

2. Ase Utra Dual - well known on the market, good reviews

3. Silent Steel Streamer gen3 - I currently use Micro Streamer gen2 and while backpressure is not existent, flash reduction and sound suppression are not satisfactory.

Currently I'm most inclined toward B&T

Hello

I am from Greece i have firearm license ( ipsc) . I am allowed to have 1000 bullets at home and i can buy them from local stores. My question is can i buy 9mm bullets from another europe country. I found a very good deal at ipscstore.com which is based in Europe. I emailed them and they said they dont know the local laws but they can send it to me.. So i just make the purchase and they deliver that to me ? Bullet brand is widely used in my range club and a lot of sellers have them for 3 x the price i found them.. Any tips information i should know ?

Planning a holiday and want to visit a place where i can shoot a kar98k.

does anyone know where to buy something like this within EU? I do not want to get into trouble with customs.

the wooden trail marker not only points toward a panoramic summit but also warns hikers to secure their rifles before crossing the meadow because "local cows are easily startled."

Any major 3-Gun events in EU worth visiting? Of course, I am coming to major Polish events already (Liga Sportera). Cheers from Poland!

I have a dream collection going at the moment. I appreciate you guys helping me in my older posts. Looking for more help.

• Sako S20 .308 20” barrel with Steiner Ranger 4 and Jaka slip over
• Heym 33 Dural 7x65R and 16ga with Karl Kapps fixed power
• Krico Bergstutzen 6,5x57 with Swarovski fixed power
• Glock 17

I only want two more hunting guns and I’m set. When my kids get older I will get into 3Gun.

• 9,3x74R BBF*
• 22LR Kurzwaffen**

• I want to get a double 9,3x74R BBF/BDB. With three caveats.

• spare barrel set in 7x65R/12ga or 16ga
• schaftmagazin
• double lock for hunting Africa

** I’m leaning towards the FN 150 for a .22 as an Anfanger. Although the older Walther PPKs in .22 are catching my eye as well. I want something European and made out of metal. Any recommendations?

My wife wants a Jakele J1. Alternative is an R8 or R93. She held a J1 and fell in love with it. Are the reports positive on it? It would be in 6,5 Creedmoor or .270 and a larger caliber like 9,3x62 or .300 WM.

Hey everyone, hoping you can help me with my search.

Been shooting a few years, all of it at an indoor range. I have my own gear. Next summer i want to take a big European roadtrip visiting different shooting ranges and take some courses. I’ll bring my own gear so renting guns won’t be necessary.

Looking for: outdoor locations that are not geared towards tourists / beginners but offer dynamic shooting options like steel plate shooting. I’d love some plinking!

There must be some, i can’t seem to find ‘em. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks!

Does anyone know if they're being sold anywhere in Europe? Thanks.

I'm looking to purchase my second Kurzwaffen and am trying to decide on which model to look for. Ideally, I am wanting something more classic and aesthetic than my Glock 17. I would prefer something durable and safe with modern 9mm ammo. I have to preregister the calibre on my WBK, therefore I cannot just shop around and find a good deal.

Specifically I am looking at the following:

- Luger P-08

- Mauser C96

- Walther P-38

- Sig 210

- H&K P7

- Anything else?!

Magazines and parts availability are a major concern so my instincts are pointing me towards the Walther P-38. I am hunter and would occasionally carry this for Fangschuss.

Thanks for any inputs! WMH

Do you happen to know any of the sellers in the EU who offer fluted bullet ammo, especially in 357sig caliber? So far I have seen them being offered only in the US

My wife is shopping for her first rifle and owned a REM 700 BDL back in the States. She handled the Haenel NXT and likes it. This is an unknown brand and model to me. It seems a little weird in the straight pull bolt action. Other than that it’s not very pretty which surprised me that she liked it. I was trying to sway her to a Bergara or Tikka. Are these better choices?

Hi there,

Canadian national here with their restricted fire arm license. I have moved to italy via carta bleu ( work visa) and i am hoping to go hunting/ target shooting. Does anyone know if i need to start from ground zero or can i get my license translated here? I wouldnt bring anything from canada until i have my permits in italy. (Obv. I would check if i can use it here prior to bringing it) thanks for the advice and happy new year!!

Does anyone know a website within Europe where I can buy second hand eotechs/police used eotechs? Would love to have one but a new one is just a little to expensive.

Hi guys,

So decided I will buy a CZ Shadow 1, CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1. Besides this I want a quality .223 semi and considered a CZ Bren but not sure whether it’s the most versatile.

I was looking for a Schmeisser AR-15, thinking it’s good quality but seems like it’s okay quality with good branding. Or at least that’s what I read.

H&K MR223 would be good but starting at €3200 is quite steep. Schmeisser AR-15 at €2300 is about the absolute max I wanted to spend. Haenel CR223 might be best value for money at €2775 but quite expensive.

I see M&P, LDT, Diamondback, Ruger all cheaper, but what about the quality?

Please advice, cheers!
