These are the guys to use. Didn't think the fee was that high though, isn't it only $100? Regardless, they are amazingly accomadating with Canadain customers. If you do buy something that has a magazine that would be illegal in Canada, they will pin it for free.

Really, really good company.

It's 100 if you buy it from them, but their stock is limited somewhat. 200 dollars if you buy it from any other retailer in the US, they buy it and process the paperwork.

Thought I would put this in here and bump it:

Unlike conventional rifles, the one by Tracking Point has a ballistics tracker and laser range finder. You can also stream video and audio to an iPad, Facebook and YouTube.
The gun is incredibly accurate at up to 1200 yards and takes into account factors that would make shooting with a regular rifle a losing battle.
“As a conventional shooter even 500 yards is extremely difficult to master but with our system it's not,” Crocker said.
Pressing the red button next to the trigger locks a laser on the target.
When your target is tagged, you pull the trigger and the gun decides when to shoot, waiting until the weapon is in exactly the right spot.

But what is difference from Canadian going into a store here and buying a gun with their PAL and them going down to the states buying a gun and using that same PAL and then registering it through the customs process on the way back.

Only difference I can think of is paying a significantly reduced price for that gun in the states.

I couldn't find anywhere else to put this, but guys like this are the reason why people think guns are dangerous.

They're not, until you put one in the hands of an irresponsible moron.

Why would you keep it loaded unless you're intending to shoot anything anyways

Watching that idiot repeatedly put his finger on the trigger was proof that he had no idea what he was doing. He's lucky that his head isn't hollowed out like a pumpkin.

As for a different question, id like to buy a double barrel 10 guage. Not many around it seems.

Id also like to pick up a nice coach gun, preferably a 12, but may go to a 20.

Cabellas has a limited selection of coach guns, but id like to look at a few more before purchasing.

Looking into my getting my second rifle...got it narrowed down to a Tikka T3 Laminated SS... http://http://www.tikka.fi/t3models.php?laminatedss

Just trying to decide on which caliber. A good buddy has a .300WSM for sale, but the rounds are bloody expensive (get a good deal tho, rifle+scope+bag+40rds for $1200)...was more focused on a 7mm to begin with. Both calibers appear to pretty similar to me.

Rifle would be for deer, and even up to elk/moose. Why the .300 may be a better deal.

Thoughts??

In the comments, it says this guy makes staged accidental discharge videos.

This is supposed to be the same guy with a fake accent, not sure about it, but it's too much of a joke to be seriously real.

Joke or not, randomly discharging a weapon in your living room is never a good idea.
There is no such thing as an accidental discharge - it's either controlled or negligent.

I shoot a Tikka T3 in .30-06...it is a great shooter, fairly light for carrying around steep and thick mountains. Great rifle.

I did the Firearm Safety Centre and it was a good course.

Does anyone know where to find and H&R Pardner Pump shotgun? Regular length not a home defense model or a single shot. I was looking at Ellwood Epps to purchase it but now it is out of stock.
