Thread: Recommend me a gun

I'm looking for a new gun.

I'm sick of having mis-feeds and mis-fires, I'm really wanting reliability

Not too bothered about capacity, I can always reload. It'd be good if it took commonly available ammo though.

My gun at the moment is a bit light and flimsy, I think I'd like something heavier, more robust.

Sometimes I feel a little under-powered. I reckon I'd like a bit more penetration.

I'm not too bothered about the cost. I think I'll buy once, and buy right.

Suggestions?

Oh it has to be a staple-gun. I forgot that bit

yeah the Rapid one recommended downthread

Hammer tackers are vastly better but are made to be putting something flexible onto something solid ie building paper onto a house and need a decent thwack to activate

For targets the recommended unit would be fine

Nothing wrong with a Tikka

Stockade is what us fencers use . . .

Depending on your intended use I prefer hammer tackers iv had terrible luck with the normal staple guns

You have to use them free recoil with the 13/8.

The 13/6 not so much but they’re hard on scopes

Targets mainly, I doubt I'll hunt with it much

If stapling to something like ply wood a hammer tackers a good option

6.6x55 Swede, Tikka


Boring, reliable, hit what you point it at, nothing flash.

Post signature highly relevant

Makita cordless

I have had a Rapid 34 stapler for something like ~30 years and it's still going strong. Not horribly expensive either
