What's the hottest NR in Canada

What about the type 81? Any feedback on them?

T81 is the $499 rifle we pay $999 for, and like it :)

The T81 is so we can embrace our inner commie gun feelings and pretend we are using an AK47

They aren't accurate and only have 5 round magazines, but they are fun to blast away with. Like a cool looking SKS with detach mags.
 
I swear the more i read the more difficult a decision is. Seems like a lot of BCL 102 quality issues have been cleared up. SO, for a rifle that may only see a box of shells at a range a few times a year, maybe the BCL is a good choice over the roughly $600-700 more expensive Stag 10?! Ughhh back to more old thread reading....
 
It also depends on what you are planning to do with the rifle.

Some people like to leave their rifles stock, and fair enough, but that's never been me with anything I have owned.
May people replace triggers, BCG and barrels over some time. As such several manufacturers, including Stag, come out with the bare bones build kits.

There are several good build threads on Stag and BCL here. What I don't like doing is paying more for nice, but not good enough parts, only to have to replace and sell them again.

I am a big fan of the ergos of the BCL, as well as the ergos and stock trigger of the RA XCR-L.

I also like how my Tavor shoots with the the geissele trigger bow, which puts me at odds of many other people, who just cannot get their heads around a bullpup.
As far as I can tell, out of all the NR rifles sold in Canada, it is only the Tavor battle proven rifle, and from my personal experience, it is the one tactical rifle that never fails, never jams and never breaks.
Due to it's size and balance the Tavor is the best rifle for use with a vehicle, IMHO. If I was back flying in and out of the bush, I would give the Tavor 7 (308) serious consideration, along with my 12 gauge.
The Tavor is hands down the favorate of the small women in my family. They can just pick it up and shoot it all day.

In short, the best NR "Tactical" rifles is the rifle that fits you the best and suits your needs.
Try as many as you can and be honest of what you plan on doing with the rifle. Range Queen, competition, 3 gun, hunting, etc.

The nice thing about the AR platform is that there are very easy to work on, youtube is full of how to videos.
IF I was to want another AR (10 or 15) I would build my own and build it to my specs and purpose.
 
For me it's back to old SKS lol
No seriously, #### all that overpriced beta tester, pre sale dice toss bull#### :D
If I wasnt utterly jaded by numerous bad experiences, I would say the WK180c if you can get one that was made on a Wednesday....

Sorry bud...but Wednesday is hump-day, so your best bet is maybe a Tuesday or Thursday one...šŸ˜€
 
These are rough estimates:

Ruger PCC $800 - 9mm - yet to try it but has some good reviews
Freedom Ordnance FX9 $1150 - 9mm - yet to try but has some good reviews
Kodiak 108C $1200 - 223 - yet to try but if it is like the original ar180b will be good (love the one I have)
BCL 102 $1500 - 308 - yet to try and the reviews have been all over the place
M+M M10X $2000 - commie stuff - yet to try but the videoers like 'em
HK SL8 $2100 - 223 - these used to be quite a bit more expensive, the future look is kind of dated now, the weight distribution sucks and you are kind of stuck with the proprietary mags (there is a conversion)...BUT, my experience it is a great bench shooter, reliable and accurate
STAG 10 $2200 - 308 - yet to try but the reviews seem good
IWI Tavor $2800 - 223 - good rifle have been happy with it, accurate enough and utterly reliable

There are a whole host on top of these but this is just me throwing out a few...

Nice discussion.

I am vacillating between WK 180C (cheaper gun and cheaper ammo) and stag 10 as my semi-auto rifle. VZ 58 sporter 223 rem is another option.
 
I like those NR black rifles, the make is not that important, what is the best prerogative is to buy many models of different calibers, if SHTF with our lefty.
