The topic of this thread is "Where to buy Pistols", precision rifles are a little off topic... how about starting a new thread on Precision/Sniper rifles?
Just a thought ;D

Was gonna but I didn't want to spam.
Oh yeah, and it's not for being a commando wannabe, I like to familiarize myself with new/foreign equipment and training. If I was really a commando wananbe, I wouldn't have put general in capitals or said "jtf2 big tough commando guy with a bigger gun."

I thought it was like, next to impossible to buy hand guns in canada?
Someone mentioned something about the military... are they easier to acquire if you a service member?
You still need a license and registration i would assume... I dunno ive never really thought or looked into this much but I always wanted to own a handy hand cannon.

Although certain weapons/equipment can only be sold to military/LE members.

In the light of things said:
entirely false.
There are itmes that are LEO/MIL only but an individual cannot purchase them. Being a LEO or MIL member simply allows you to use tools at the job. After work you are completely at the mercy of the CFC and the Canadian Criminal code

Okay try to break the package up into its pieces
Remmy 700 shortaction ~ 920 (ish) (wholesale sports)
Leupy scope M3LR ~ 950 once again Wholesale sports)
bases (manufacturer?) unk -- if they are crappy Leupy dovel tails $50 -- if they are good one $200+
Pelican case ~ 250
Harris bipod - $75-125 depending upon model.
1) Skip the Duplex scope -- it is impossible to range with.
2) Sling is ass - get one of Mike Millers (Tactical Intervention Specialists) Quik Cuff slings.
I would say skip it (the package)
buy it from Wholesale - save money - buy ammo and go down south to a good school for some training.

If you are a OR living on base, what are the regs for having your own firearms? I take it that they don’t allow you to install your own gun cabinet in the barracks.
For someone on private wages that want to own their own pistol, I would recommend that you get the Norinco Nz-85B or one of their 1911’s , decent gun for a price that even a private can afford.

Nothing like a good old Chinese gun... my grandfather served in the PLA at the time of the Chinese Civil War... when I went to China a few years ago, he let me see his service Type 56 Carbine (a copy of the Simonov SKS rifle) that he owned when he retired in the 1970's.

I have owned one, the grips are junk, but easily replaced, the gun is very nice to shoot, although I found the balance of the NP-34 a little odd.
Unfortunately mine started to have the alloy rails crack at around 2,000 rds, I was able to trade it in at Levers for their NZ-85b. I spoke to both Lever and Marstar on this issue and they both said that they have only had a few each back for this problem. As they are relatively new it is difficult to say if this is a systemic problem or just a faulty batch. I decide to hold off on their alloy designs for a year to see how many other problems crop up. I have seen posts from people that have put 10,000rds through theirs without problems. They are nice to shoot, but I would say the trigger on the NZ is slightly better, but the NP-22 is easier to grip the slide.

I've put about 2500 rounds or so through my NP-34, no problems encountered yet.
A set of Hogue grips fixes the cheap-ass plastic grips that comes with it.
I did some practice work for a Black Badge course the other night, and found that the limiting factor was not the pistol, but my method of holding it.
I'm leaning towards a G17 though, having heard some very good things about them, I plan to investigate further when I get time/money. I have another project that's sucking up both of them just now...
