A Newb's search for a Non-Restricted Tactical Rifle.

Those Benelli MR1's look interesting. I wonder what site sponsor would carry those when and if they do come to Canada. Benelli's website indicates that its has a 16" inch barrel wich would make it restricted here i suppose. As for the rumour of it being rebarrelled for Canada, I just dont see that happening for such a small market right off the initial product launch.:runaway:




P&D will have them with 20" barrel. I asked the other day when I was there. Not due till August/sept
 
Either way, I need more 'Carrot' to lead this 'Horse' with, if I am going to spend the big bucks on a Rifle right away.

- LAR Mags is ALL 'Carrot......

- Multiple Calibres for under $1,000 each after initial puchase is also......

$2500 for a 5 shot single calibre 'dead end' is not........(unless it fires 7.62x39, in which case, the ammo costs make up for everything else).

The 'Value' can be either Monetary or Principal (10 shot LAR mags being one of those principals).
 
Heh, here's hoping the XCR-M comes out sometime this year though!! :D

(My vote is for the norinco 305, with a quick tuneup she's a good gun, and
.308 is EXTREMELY plentiful)

i hope the xcr m comes out soon but 308 is twice as expensive as 223. an xcr in 762*39 is even much cheaper to shoot.
 
I have a nonrestricted CX-4 9mm.

I also stock a
sr-22
Tik Tac 308
Tik SS 300 win mag
Stock 10/22 SS
10/22 moded to hell 17 hm2
Rem 870 express 20 guage
DA 12 guage shorty


The CX-4 is by far the best all round and most fun to shoot. Nonrestricted means I can take it out for birds in the fall too. Can't beat it.

That looks good. Nice configuration.
 
Why would it change?
Tavor has a barrel length over 18", overall length of 29" and build from ground up as civilian semi auto rifle. it has the same chance of getting it's status changed as SA, XCR or SL8.

back to the topic at hand, seriously think about what you want to do with this rifle, it is no different than building cars, no sense buying and building a rice burner when all along you wanted a classic v8. especially since you are already thinking about "ending up with an SKS that is worth $2,000+ but still shoots like a $250 SKS".

Logic aside, it LOOKS mean and nasty, and there are not that many of them out there...the only two reasons gun grabbers ever seem to care about.
 
This is my choice for my $1340-ish all in...

Mini-14 581 Ranch Stainless $999
Butler Creek side folder $129
Bushnell Red/Green Dot $129
Bipod $60

Why not just "test" the waters with an SKS and and a crate of ammo? (it's more fun than you can imagine!)

Sell it in the EE when your crate runs out and buy the M305.... Then, Repeat.... with the next rifle up the chain, when funds permit.

You'll have alot more experience and fun for it!:)

x1 Weigh your needs against your wants for a non-res tactical rifle..all the fun is in the journey of finally finding the "one" :)
 
Alright well I just figured out my tactical non restricted gun! I had to go with surplus 7.62 x 39 just because you can't reload .223 for that and I am gonna do something different for driving tacs anyways! So I have owned a CZ 858 and although it is a good gun, it is expensive to mod, and needs a lot to get where I want it. I also hated having to worry so much about cleaning, as it would suck to find you $800 dollar gun full of rust. So I decided on an sks with a Tapco stock, and duckbill mags! Figure Ill trick it out with stock, mags, and scope mount and scope and if need be I can always swap out that $200 sks under all the kit! I'm excited and as of now the whole deal is gonna cost me about $650 shipped for everything I need!

No matter how you dress it - you still get an SKS accuracy. Plus - lots of cleaning with milsurp after each range visit. Plus your accuracy (poor to begin with) goes to the drain after about 40 rounds anyway, so, guess what - cleaning! Buy a good bore snake - well worth it for cleaning SKS in the range if you want to shoot more and don't want to go home after only 40 rounds through, lol!
Take 650$, put it aside, repeat. Patience helps too. If you do it on the monthly basis, you will be able to buy an HK or an XCR with 4 LAR mags in less than 6 months. I don't know about you but personally, for me, this is the plan ;)

I appreciate this thread - was thinking the exact same thing.
I'd grab an AR in a second, but restricted status is just too much of a pain for transport.

Unless you just throw your rifles on a blanket in the back of your car, I wouldn't see how it'd be different from other rifles, except for a padlock on the case.
 
Can't be done... non restricted black rifle for around $1500 not possible... you always want the next one up, and all you really want is an AR15... stoopid govinmant!
