Hello. Just got back into shooting and firearms in general. I also just got a decent Winchester safe that should comfortably carry about 12 long guns
(500 lbs). (Now I just need to get it moved from my minivan to my basement!)
At present, I have a modern (Auto Ordnance) tacticool M1 carbine in a choate stock with forward/scout rail and Vortex SPARC red dot. Nice and fun to shoot, if expensive with .30 carbine. I also have a Sig P299 in .40S&W for home defense/range time, and a CZ RAMI (decocker) in 9mm for CC.
Of course, that safe M1 carbine will need company! So far, my long-term (as in it will take a few years) plans to fill-it are (1) a ruger 10/22, either tactical, or possibly the target/tactical (I should get this within the next month or so); (2) a semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun, either an FN-SLP, or maybe a Benelli M1; (3) some sort of AR build; (4) maybe a mini-14 or mini-30because I like carbines; and (5) a full-sized M1 Garand or M-14 clone. NOT a hunter, so don't need a dedicated hunting gun. Oh, I think I'm set, practically at least, for pistols, but I'd like to get a nice .45 semi-automatic at some point, though I've heard that is an expensive hobby that can get out of control quickly...
How does this general plan sound? Suggestions? Thanks.
