(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
