Advocacy
The prize list is the *point*
CCFR's Raining Guns contest worked because it made lawful Canadian firearms ownership visible as regulated property, business support, and ordinary gear culture.
Gear
Canadian-first rifle, optic, and gear reviews with owner judgement, measured tradeoffs, and no spec-sheet theatre.
Advocacy
The exemption is the *warning light*
B.C.'s new FVPA sells itself as gang law. The warning for lawful shooters is the exemption: if ordinary range activity needs carving out, the law was wider than advertised.
Advocacy
Saskatchewan put a receipt on the *ban*
Saskatchewan's new appraisal service turns the federal buyback fight back into property, storage, receipts, and the lawful owners Ottawa keeps finding first.
Advocacy
The gun show is not a *loophole*
A busy May 2 gun show listing in Ontario is a useful reminder: in Canada, the gun show is not a loophole. It is one of the last human places where new shooters can learn gear, law, and culture at the same table.
Precision
The *data* book.
Components are up, rimfire matches are filling, and the thing separating winners from also-rans at Canadian precision matches is often a notebook, not another rifle part.
Gear
The Cadex CDX-300 TAC makes *.300 PRC* make sense
The Cadex CDX-300 TAC is too heavy, too expensive, and too specific to flatter casual ownership. Good. In .300 PRC, those are not sins. They are the point.
Precision
The .22 *moment*.
Centrefire components are up 250 per cent. The prohibited list keeps growing. Half the buyback was returned. None of that has slowed the fastest-growing precision discipline in Canada. For new PAL holders, the path in is rimfire.
Gear
The common *ten*.
Ten firearms keep turning up in Canadian safes, in the quiet racks at Canadian Tire and Cabela's, and in the classifieds. Non-restricted only. The list is editorial. The reasoning is on the page.
Opinion
Why I sold my *Canadian Starter Kit*.
The Canadian Starter Kit - 10/22, SKS, pump 12-gauge - is what every new PAL holder gets told to buy. It cost me close to $1,800, taught me a few genuinely useful things, and sold before I bought the 338 Lapua that actually fits.
