We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
Most GTAM members aren't rich enough to go around buying cheap crap
My advice: Unless you are getting the shotty to make a specific and immediate need, start with a .22LR rifle so you can learn how to shoot first. Shotties kick like mules and interfere with the initial skills development. Once you can shoot a rifle. .22LR rifles are cheap to buy and dirt-cheap to feed. Now you just have to choose between a semi-auto like a 10/22 or a bolt like Savage Mk II...
1) Semi-auto means you don't have to cycle the bolt after every shot which means losing your sight picture in certain positions. More versatile and sometimes it's fun to spew out a bunch of rds if accuracy isn't the goal
2) Bolt-action are more accurate and they force you to take a second between shots and take each shot individually, which is beneficial to your marksmanship
I started with a scoped bolt and am doing a build of a semi-auto with a red dot. Each has its use.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
I'm not a gun noob, just will be able to own my own now. But good advice
Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
Hit or miss like anything in life, but there are great deals to be had on "used" guns there.
Stuff like Tavors and XCRs are perfect examples. BNIB Tavors pop up quite often in the 2600 range, new XCRs in the 2200s… those are pretty big savings over new when you factor taxes and possible shipping.
New Tavor for $3000, or a "used" Tavor for $2500, with $500 to spend on ammo and mags.. no brainer.

Yeah, what mmmnaked said. You also have to be a member to view the Equipment Exchange forums.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
I think it has something to do with the newest batch of M305's being sold, apparently head and shoulders above the previous gens of Norinco M305's
So they wanna dump these and get in on those? Just guessing....
AR15's also are being dumped left right and center. Well, listed, at more than MSRP is now....lol

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
The 858 wasn't reclassified.. Some of those being imported didn't match what was on the FRT and some converted full autos were imported into the country, with some eventually being caught at the border. So a normal 858 "that cannot be easily converted to full auto" is still non-restricted but a number (unknown) of the ones that were imported would actually be prohibited devices. Technically, 858's meeting the original specs could still be imported as non-restricted, but the importer gave up on it, so someone else would have to step up.

Yeah but if the rcmp thinks more converted guns were imported in the past they can easily ban the gun by name and be done with it. They won't/can't go back and verify every 858 that came into the country.
Mine may not be easily converted but yours very well could be?

Got both, plus an 870 and more... what I really need is more free time to shoot!
