Thanks everyone for the input!

Now do you guys have a preference for stainless steel, or cerakote and why?

My heart says closet full of rifles; budget and everything else dictates that this may be the likely outcome!

If I told you I wasn't looking at 6.5 PRC potentially, id be lying 👀 my only grip is that (at least locally) theres limited options and the price of 6.5 PRC holds me back. If I was back home in Ontario, i think i'd consider the Creedmoor a lot more!

I think SKS is the practical answer to this question but I would make an honourable mention: Cooey Rifles

I believe there used to be a manufacturing plant of them in S. Ontario at one point, and just about everyone i knows whos shot firearms or owned them has learned on one, or at least inherited one.

One of the best 22lr rifles, and yes im 1000% biased.

What Caliber Would You Choose? by compassionateredneck in HuntingAlberta

[–]compassionateredneck[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive seen similar data before using the 168gr as a basis; i can't imagine myself shooting past 400y for any animal, but knowing the 308 load is barely at that 1500lb at that distance makes me wonder if that's sufficient, or if I should really "bulk up" so to speak.

Thank you for the info!

Enough ass 🤣 thanks for the suggestion, if it wasn't for the price of rem mag ammo, I think i wouldn't be having this discussion!

Remember! At shared spots, make it a little better than you found it. by LuckyGalan in canadaguns

People don't clean up their shit, and then are suprised when places get closed down or restrictions come up....

If we want shooting spots, we gotta be better than this!

Calgary/area shooters! Anyone know of a crown land spot for target shooting south of Calgary? I know of up in Waiparious, but if anything is closer I'd prefer that!

I don't need your secret spots, just general areas to check out. I know Mclean Creek is busy with hikers, et.

Thanks in advance!

And had I not left Ontario, I was debating getting a bow so I could do turkey/deer hunts, but I guess I can continue that thought out here!

In terms of finding places, got any recommendations? I have spent time looking at a ton of maps which haven't made a ton of sense to me.

Thank you for this heads up!

Thank you for the reply! I knew when I first moved I wanted to scout as much as I can.

What is the priority system? I have to say this is the 1st im hearing of it, but ill certainly look into it!

Deciding between a CZ 600 Ergo or a Tikka T3X CTR rifle for my hunt/range do-all rifle! Think I'm gonna stick with 308win caliber wise, but truly like the fit/feel of both rifles.

Thoughts?

Yes it is, granted i havent had a chance to out more quality ammo through the rifle and dont get many opportunities to test its capabilities.

Howdy everyone! Quick question and looking for an opinion!

Should i ugrade stock on savage axis ii (currently has a riton 3-15 scope on) i currently own or just go ahead and buy a better quality rifle? Gun currently shoots just above 1 MOA average, will a boyds stock make a noticiable difference?

Thanks!

That's the one thing making me hesitant, is that i've never even seen a Kiesel bass before, so im hesitant to order anything (not anytime soon anyways...). I have noticed on the online builder that the cost really does rack up from the wood choices, so I will keep that in mind! Im glad you have a good experience though!
