Hi /k/, this is my first time posting here. Leaf here, wondering

>>33690395
Getting any kind of replica .22 is autistic as fuck. Get a dirt cheap semi auto .22 or an sks. Your other two gun options aren't bad, but make sure you're aware and comfortable with the cost of ammo

>>33690514
I just think it looks neat + I like the larger mag. I'd love to get the lever-action but it seems a bit steep for my first firearm. Ammo would be expensive, which is another reason I'm considering rimfire.

What's a decent SKS model I can get in Canada?

>>33690395

get a marlin you fucking pleb.

in stainless.

and I swear to god if you put optics on it I will snipe you from my side of the border.

>>33690566
What makes a Marlin better than a Henry? And I'm not even considering getting optics for any of the guns I've mentioned. Going to practice with iron/aperture

>>33690561

Pretty much any SKS will be fine. Russians are decently priced. Cabelas has arsenal refurbs for $20 off right now:

$50 off ammo. Your local Canadian Tire may have a deal, too.

>>33690395
>.45-70

getting awfully tired of this meme

>>33690598
Please explain, as I'm just getting into shooting. I really like the feeling of the lever-action. I would be happy to have it one chambered differently.

>>33690598
This is the gun my brother recommended that I get. I've read that they jam ~200 rounds. Can anyone speak on that?

Oops.

>>33690630 is in reply to >>33690591

>>33690617
.30-30 is nice for lever actions, and there's a wide variety that use it. You can get a nice used one for cheap.

Pistol calibers are a lot of fun, but they tend to be a bit more expensive. If a Henry is what you want, they come in .38/.357 which is cheaper to shoot than .45-70 and as easy to reload.

>>33690630
For a while Remlin wasn't making the cartridge lifters properly. Hopefully that was fixed.

>>33690642
As long as you clean your SKS, it should be fine. If they failed that quickly they would never have been accepted for military service in the USSR.

None of those.
Get a semiauto .22

Henry is overpriced as fuck. My first gun was a mossberg 30-30 levergat for $500 and I still enjoy it

>>33690660
>>33690679
Fair enough.


Are there any handgunners here? Why are revolvers so expensive?

>>33690617
Unless you are hunting big game in close brush, .45-70 is overkill bordering on impractical. Despite what you may hear, too much gun is a bad thing because the harder kick and increased cost of ammunition tend to discourage you from actually practicing your shooting skills.

A pistol caliber levergun would be excellent for someone relatively new to shooting (and a shitload of fun), or a .30-30 (or similar) levergun would be a good all-arounder if you plan on doing much hunting.

>>33690715
Revolvers are expensive because they have lots of little bits in them and require more labour to assemble.

>>33690395
>a Henry lever-action (.45-70govt)
>>33690395
>first firearm

I would not go that route. .30-30 Winchester maybe.

>>33690395
OP, If you want a semi auto i'd get an SKS like anons recommend, if you want a levergun Mossberg makes one in 30-30 that holds like 9 rounds, compared to 5 in the SKS

>>33690715
Because fudds.

>>33690740
>>33690768
Found this .22 on Cabela's for ~$400 CAD.
Probably more sensible than the first Henry I posted.

>>33690809
Going to look into that right now

>>33690395
ill sell you my SKS, if you live in the southeast.

i fucking hate canadians so much

Fellow canuck here. Just a reminder buying anything but an SKS for your first gun will result in a immediate confiscation of your citizenship.

>>33690832
Very interesting. Feel free to leave. Everyone else has been helpful while you've just shit up the thread.

>>33690819
found it

>>33690835
My chingchong M14 says fuck you

>>33690835
Mine was an 870
Honestly I think a 12GA isn't a bad choice either. You can get lots of dirt-cheap birdshot, and it doesn't recoil so much that it will put off new shooters.

>>33690835
What makes you say that? What province are you in?

>>33690835
your a dummy

>>33690848
Thanks anon. Definitely considering that or the .22 LR in pic

>>33690893
I think either one would be a great choice

>>33690856
I'm a saskie.

>>33690879
>taking the sks meme this seriously

>>33690585
Marlin levers have loading gates. Loading a Henri is a PITA.

>>33690911
>loading gates

Here we fuck go again.

(not that he's wrong)

>>33690909
Name a better semi auto that

>Has cheap ammo crates
>is Reliable
> Is 200-250$
>Available at Canadian Tire

There really is no better option, plus if you are into vintage guns at all its too cool not to have.

>>33690945
I know.. i was the one who suggested it in the first place.

>>33690591
Damn that's cheaper than a lot of the mosins I see here in Oregon.

This is another option. They also have one in .44 Magnum, if that's more interesting for you.

>>33690988
Then the joke flew over my head, im sorry

>>33690992
Looks pretty sweet, but would a .357 / .44 magnum be overkill for an indoor range?

>>33691033
It would have to be a really shitty indoor range not to allow .357 or .44 magnum.

>>33690395

If you're a leaf then you should buy a cheapo SKS.

They cost more here in Murrica then they do up there in syrup land, so I don't own one but at leaf prices they're a hell of a bargain.
