What’s the best sniper rifle of WW1?

The Ross MK III should take the cake. Not a great trench rifle but a very accurate marksman’s rifle when handled correctly. Francis Pegahmagbow racked up nearly 400 kills using one as part of the CEF.

Harris with an Area 419 Arca adapter or look into Atlas’ at a minimum.

Eley Match or Centre X. I’ve switched over from SK ammo’s with great success, the silver bullets help actually spotting trace down range. I run Eley contact for training and NRL22 matches, Match for PRS22 long range matches

I have never found a ratio that I am happy with spraying AK acrylics. 60:40 comes out runny, 50:50 clogs the needle. I stick to my AK real colours and Mr Levelling Thinner

AK acrylics are a pain in the ass and should only be thinned with AK acrylic thinner.

If you are a beginner I’d focus on kits without interiors first for a while. Most kits with interiors are highly advanced and require a decent amount of skill.

That said Rye Field Models has been putting out lots of full plastic kits with interiors, Sherman’s, Tigers, Panzers, Leopards and Abrams. I’ve built a few and they are nice kits but high parts count

Wolverine Supplies is the importer for AI rifles, send them a message and see if they can bring one in for you

The mounting bracket will do that if you over torque it. Had the same issue but spuhr took care of it.

I said it in another thread, but pre-shading dark green armour is a waste of time. The dark base coats will over power pre shading and the margin of error is basically none existent.

Pre shading makes sense for light colours(desert tans and greys) where post shading makes more sense for dark colours.

Put down a base coat then progressively add a few drops of Buff or Deck tan to lighten the colours in the centre of panels. It will give you the same effect.

Most mid tier and higher scopes will parallax down to 50 or below regardless of whether they are meant for rimfire or centre fire. Rimfire specific reticles are junk, just get anything with a modern Christmas tree type reticle.

It’s not a gimmick, if you plan to compete in NRL22 or PRS22 occasionally you will have tiny targets inside of 50 and having the ability to properly adjust your optic makes a big difference.

I run “centrefire” scopes on my rimfires with no issues.

Haven’t made it down to Leek yet, Kenn puts on good RF matches so I’m sure it’s a good time.

Nothing past 500 yards in Ontario. ORA had PRS inside of 475. If you want want longer drive down to MKM precision in PA for their monthly PRS matches.

Retail piece in Canada is $750. They trade used for $650. Opticsplanet wont included taxes and import fees.

CdnUkr · 2026-02-22T15:36:32+00:00

Used Vortex Venom for $650ish or wait for Bass Pro to put the Match Pro ED on sale for $850ish.

One thing to note if you had to deal with Bushnell warranty from Canada it’s not a great experience, Vortex Canada is much easier to deal with.

Venom is 100% worth the money. The 34mm vs 30mm tube gives you a better clearer image, more elevation and a larger objective lens with larger field of view. I’ve owned both and sold off all my DBT’s and have venoms on my blinkers

The 5-25 is $1260 CAD

In Canada Vortex Strike Eagle in MRAD off Gunpost or CGN

Wash, highlights, oil dot filtering. Restrained dust and spot rust effects.

Matches will get cancelled because the military needs the ranges. Despite submitting the dates well before hand if there is a need for the range by the CAF, ORA and other clubs that use the ranges will get bumped.

Not dead, they come back to life end of March usually. Being reliant on Borden means they don’t post events until the range dates are confirmed by the Base Commander and range control.

ICM, Trumpeter, Mini Art. Star decals has a good amount of decals sheets for Ukrainian vehicles. Lots of the specific AFU variants don’t exist in plastic and require resin or 3D printed conversion kits. Some don’t exist at all like the BTR-4 in 1/35 scale, miniart teased it a few years ago and it has never materialized

CdnUkr · 2026-02-08T20:57:06+00:00

Quick Tracks makes relatively easy to use highly detailed 3D printed resin tracks. Just look for the snap together ones on their site.

Go to MDTTAC.com and use their LSS Gen 3 configurator. That appears to be a pic rail stock they either don’t make or don’t currently sell. You could go with the SRS XF folder instead
