For a bolt .22, svage mrk II seem good. For a .22 in general semi-auto ruger 10/22 is good beause you can buy mags and such and they are easy to maintain. I am stuck between which of these myself but I am leaning towards the ruger 10/22. The savages start at about 200 and go up to about 500. One model has peep sights, one has normal iron and the rest are set up for scopes. The peep sight with heavy barrel seems good, I've heard they are made in Lakefield ON. I'll still probably go with the ruger though. This is just the opinion of someone who like rimfire, I am not a pro by any means, BTW on youtube iraqveteran8888 has some good videos describing 5 entry level 22s and also many more informative videos. Him and his friend work in a gun store and share both new knowledge and 'oldtimey' knowledge.

Are there any clubs in the GVR (or the island?) that have 100yrd+ range for rifles? Or do you have to go out into the bush to do any long range practice?

I believe Ridgedale also goes out to 200 yards.

Is there anyone that shoots a S&W M&P at the Nanaimo Fish and Game club that would let me put a few rounds through theirs?

I'm thinking about buying an M&P9 and would really like to try one before I commit. Ideally I'd like to try the 9mm, but would settle for a .40 or .45 cal (got a box of .45ACP sitting around waiting to get fired, but no matching firearm).

Will bring my own ammo, just let me know what caliber to get ahead of time and I'll come prepared.

Cheers, Kyle.

You can go to DVC and pay a day admission then try different pistols. Its a great place to go if you are thinking of buying a pistol and wanna try before you buy. Unfortunately, DVC doesn't have a large selection of pistols.

If you are getting a gun yourself then you can go to Port Coquitlam & District Hunting & Fishing Club.

I am going to take my course for my license soon PAL and RPAL, and need to join a Gun Club. Thinking of the MISSION & DISTRICT ROD & GUN CLUB, a friend from the Quesnel Gun Club recommended it. Is this a good club, I want to do more then just some plinking, I want to get accurate and such, still a little new. Anyone I can chat with and pick their brain on this club.
