    Hey East Coasters!

    New to the shooting sports. Live in Halifax. Look forward to maybe shooting with some of you in the future. Just about to do my cert next week.

    As a side note, I would love someone to show me the ropes. I'm 24, mature and generally easy going. I'll cover any reasonable ammo costs! I've also shot a few firearms in the past, and know the general rules of the sport so I wont shoot myself in the foot

    Thanks!

    Hey all,

    Just sent my RPAL application off this past weekend. I used to do .22 range shooting and clay pigeon as a youth, but around that time, the UK went off the rails and banned firearms almost outright. Really excited to get back into this hobby.

    I'd like to be as ready as possible to go shopping when it comes through, and have a ton of questions (some of which have already been answered in this helpful thread). I'll try to keep it to a couple of questions for now.

    First of all, does anyone know of dealers in the Halifax Metro area? I know Army Navy on Agricola deals in firearms, but that's it.

    Secondly, I'd really like to get some recommendations for firearms. I'm going to start with a non-restricted rifle, as it gives me the most options in my activities. My primary use will be target shooting, so I'd like something accurate, but I also want something that I can occasionally hunt with, which makes .22s a less attractive option, from the reading I've done, .308 seems like the way to go. I'd like something that comes with iron sights, but that I can easily put a scope on later if I choose. My preference is for bolt action, and something with a detachable box magazine.

    I'll leave it at that for now, any tips related to either of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    There are a number of us from the Island on CGN.

    Here's a thread about range issues:

    http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum...d.php?t=420862

    It includes a little mention of some CAS aspirations, too. I don't know what the numbers are, but I know some others here who are getting into shooting lately (and have been adults for a while).

    Welcome aboard!

    If you don't mind the drive, The Gun Dealer in McAdam, NB, boasts to have the largest stock of firearms in the Maritimes. It's definitely worth checking them out.
    When they came for my Full auto machine gun, no one did a thing, as it didn't affect them. When they came for my Converted auto, they still said nothing. When they came for my Handguns and Semi-autos they were still too scared to say anything. When they came for my single shot bolt-action .22 rifle, there was no one left to help me.
    Is this what we want to see in our future?
