Re-post of my visit

[RL1]

(from my gun shop tour)


Ok Vancouver, you have officially put Toronto to shame! Yesterday I chose DS Tactical as my favourite gear store and today I am proclaiming Wanstalls to be my new favourite gun store!!!



Let’s start with optics…I have never seen a selection like this is one spot.





Once again, I loved the Elcan..except that this time I got to compare it to the older 4x





And the new 1x to 3x scope! A very sweet piece of kit…a true red dot at 1x and then the crosshairs appear as you power up







Also super cool was this Meprolight MOR…you can see the reticle in virtually any light..indeed as I swept it past the door it was still visible.







OMG Barrett!





Micro red dots from Trijicon and Vortex



The new Vortex Sparc AR and Sparc II



More scopes



Laser rangefinders



Another cool piece of optics kit…U.S. Optics level…can swivel away as well





And now guns for these optics…Kimber Mountain Ascent billed as the lightest hunter on the market…wow, they are not kidding! super light and looks great too





Not quite as light..Bushmaster .50! Sorry the picture came out dark



But I think I redeemed myself with this first one...imho one of the coolest pics I have ever taken







My first time handling a Cadex…obviously very high grade and great attention to detail











But at the end of the day, my favourite bolt action was this Steyr SSG!





Rotary mag



Bolt



Yup, I could use one of these



If you really want to go old school…how about a James River Armory Arsenal Restored K98 8mm Mauser







Next up, shotguns





Chiappa Triple Threat



Old school Remington 870



Black guns



War Sport Costa Ludus









Sig MCX..wow it’s light!







AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE PTSD



Last but not least, they don’t call Wanstalls the House of 1911s for nothing!







You might ask what makes a 1911 cost almost $8000 but if you held this Wilson Combat Super Grade in
your hand you would know..it was spectacular!











My absolute favourite gun of the day was this Ed Brown Second Amendment edition













Accessories from Magpul



And Aluma grips (didn’t get pics of the VZ grips but they had plenty of those)







Knives


Bullets turned into bottle openers and shot glasses



Thanks so much to Matt for your hospitality and for joining me for dinner

That Steyr looks awesome. I don't want to know any more about it though...as I have an idea of what it costs.

Great post btw...and nice folks at Wanstalls to let you fondle an $8,000 hand gun. My truck is worth about 1/2 that much. lol

I'm loving these little gun shop tours. As much as I want to, I can't afford the time nor the money to physically travel to all of the shops you've photographed, so this is a nice alternative.

I pictured Wanstalls as a huge store, but they sure have a lot jammed in that space.
Thanks for the post dude!
