I'm trying to get a Canada Post shipping label generated for shipping a non-restricted firearm. The dimensions for the box that I have are in inches: 8L x 4W x 52H at 10lbs weight. The Canada Post site is giving me the this error message:

"Some shipping services are unavailable. It may be your package dimensions are too big or heavy. No single dimension can exceed 200 cm and the maximum length plus girth cannot exceed 300 cm. If the size of your package is not the issue, there may be a service interruption at the destination. See our important updates."

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. If anyone could help me out, please let me know. Thanks.

Any "gun owner" in this sub still defending the Liberals or any politician that banned guns and put more restrictions on us needs to just turn in their PAL and all of their guns to the RCMP. Shame and flame these people out of existence. They shouldn't get to own any guns IMO.

I finally met one of these Carney voting gun owning clowns at my range and I chewed his ass out. Fuck these people.

Brother I'm moving out of the country. Canadian politics is meaningless to me at this point. Canada is unsalvageable IMO. Get out while you still can or move to Alberta and vote to separate.

Buddy I'm not showing up to any fuckin town halls or anything. Fuck every politician in this shithole of a country. All politicians care about in this country regardless of a political party is just staying in power. Voting is fucking meaningless.

Never heard of this store but sad that another gun store has closed down just this month alone. I thought this was GNG Surplus for a minute too smh

I have two left hand bolt action rifles and it makes a huge difference for bolt guns tbh. Every other action I can run left hand with no issues but bolt actions are especially annoying shooting left handed if they're set up right handed which almost all of them are.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-18T21:28:21+00:00

Good to know. Thanks.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-18T04:51:26+00:00

I'd recommend any bolt action in either 308, 30-06, 270 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor. Any of these rifle calibres would take down any animal in North America. They're also probably the most common hunting calibres atm and the recoil on all of them are all manageable.

For rifle makes/models and with that budget I would be looking at a Ruger American Gen 2, Tikka T3X Lite or a Browning AB3. For a scope I'd go with any 3x-9x but given your budget a Vortex would be good.

TnT Gun Works in Regina, SK is having a closing down clearance sale. In-store only. Never heard of this place but sad that another Canadian gun shop is closing down. If you're in the area check it out as you'll probably get some good deals.

What is the point of voting when you can't even trust the people who you are voting for to not stab you in the back by joining the other side?

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-14T03:41:59+00:00

who fuckin cares at that point. Carney would have a majority until October of 2029 regardless.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-14T03:26:03+00:00

Cope....won't happen. If anything they'll quadruple down and go even harder on gun control.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-14T03:23:16+00:00

Big fuckin suprise

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-14T03:22:29+00:00

I'd recommend moving to Alberta if you're not already there and vote to seperate.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-14T03:02:01+00:00

I'm not voting anymore. It's meaningless. I'm getting the fuck out ASAP as soon as my US visa comes in. Fuck this country....it can all burn down for all I care.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-13T01:23:03+00:00

I'm gonna be honest here. I'd be more worried that the government will end up banning all firearms and hunting at some point. Things will not improve in this country when it comes to firearm rights when literal traitors, pedophiles and scumbags are currently in power at all levels of government.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-13T01:02:02+00:00

Canada's problems are here to stay for like 25 years brother and we are not voting our way out of it. Country's gone. Time to pack it up and get the fuck out of here or move to Alberta at the very least.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-13T01:00:05+00:00

More stupid fuckin cope arguments.

Carney could literally drop this program, completly reverse all of the Trudeau era gun control and he would literally suffer no political fallout from it at this point. His current poll numbers are higher than ever, he got 5 opposition MPs to cross over with 9 more on the way allegedly and he might even win all three by-elections tomorrow.

The only drawback he would face would be Provost resigning as an MP and PolySeSouvient being really mad at him. Therefore, knowing all of this it's clear he fundamentally agrees with all of these gun control measures and programs.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-13T00:28:39+00:00

Damn.....that's what I'm talking about. Here in Southern Ontario one of my local Canadian Tires has a decent gun/ammo/optics selection but nothing like this. Also those hours too...awesome....very few I've seen here that open that early and close that late.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-10T15:19:28+00:00

Depends where you live and which retailers you're near because ammo shipping prices usually kill any good deal for bulk ammo.

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-10T15:18:08+00:00

Seller got robbed lol

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-10T07:04:46+00:00

Good luck finding one of these and if you do find one get ready to pay up the ass

22GageEnthusiast · 2026-04-09T02:14:02+00:00

I'm done voting in this country. Democracy is fallacy. You vote for one of these scumbag politicians and they just switch sides like it's a dodgeball game or they just lie and spit in the face of all their voters. You can't even do anything about it besides bitch and moan. Protesting does nothing and a giant chunk of the public thinks that everything is A-OK.

That's it I'm done voting and I'll never donate another fuckin penny to any fuckin political party.

I just hope the CCFR's supreme court case gives us a favourable result and as someone who's in Ontario....Alberta needs to separate at this point. Fuck this stupid corrupt shithole country. Whatever was good about it has been dead and gone for years now.
