You have $1000, what do you buy?

[TwoWheelFiend]

one of those Uberti copies of the original Colt lightening carbine is looking mighty tempting lately

 

[lowerunit411]

Id have Lever make some custom leather stuff for my Marlin Guide gun and then spend what was left on reloading supplies.

 

[ShawnC]

+1 on the Python, though I may settle for a good 1911 with some ammo.

 

[MikeNice]

I would stock up on a couple thousand rounds of practice ammo and 150rounds of SD ammo.(I don't have a place I feel comfortable reloading.)

That would leave me with about $520. I would probably look for a CZ 75 Compact PCR, CZ 2075 Rami Polymer, or order a Walther P99c from CDNN. That should use it all up.

 

[Husker_Fan]

I'd go with something like this: http://palmettostatearmory.com/2557.php

 

[JoeMal]

I would get an AR. Been on my list for a while now just haven't talked myself into putting the money away to get one.

 

[Batty67]

I'd say, to put some borders on the thread: you've got a $1000 must-be-spent gift certificate for some mega online place like Buds or GB and no change will be given.

As for me, that should just be enough to cover an FN-SLP 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun. Or a nicely tricked-out Remington 1100. Or, a relaitvley high-end .45 semi-automatic.

 

[JustinJ]

Given we don't know what rifles you own, what kind you like, etc. I'm not sure how useful our answers could be. But for me personally, based on what i already have, i'd get either an HK P30, Arsenal .223 AK, or a VZ 58. I've been thinking about a DS Arms FAL or PTR as well but really i'm more interested in a .45 can right now.

 

[Ranger30-06]

A .458 SOCOM Upper for my AR and some ammo. Or a .45-70 lever action and a Winchester 1887 shotgun (because I've always wanted one). There's a lot of gun stuff I could buy with $1000...

 

[jimmyraythomason]

For me personally,I'd get a Ruger Mini-30 with a Leupold or Nikon scope.

 

[Nico Testosteros]

It wouldn't, or shouldn't, cost a grand but I have a hankering for a sporter in 6.5x55.

 

[Creature]

Down payment on a matchgrade M1A.

 

[wankerjake]

Myself, I'd make a $500 powder valley order and a $500 Widener's order.

 

[Tallinar]

Personally, I'd pay down debt or put it toward house maintenance.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Personally, I'd pay down debt or put it toward house maintenance.

Best reply so far...However, if I had a grand go blow, I'd put it toward a Python.

 

[Dueling1911s]

a dillon xl 650 with an auto case feeder so all i gotta do is place a bullet and pull the lever

 

[Skribs]

I would get a new SSD hard drive, so that I could get onto my computer faster to do firearms research, which will essentially get me ordering products faster and get me off the computer and onto the range faster. Okay, I loosely managed to tie that one into firearms

Strictly firearms-related, I would finish some projects I haven't finished yet. Get an aimpoint for my shotgun (to replace the cheapo RDS that broke after 8 shots), amongst other things.

 

[Tommygunn]

Nothing .... pay down credit card debt.

Slowly, but surely, it's getting smaller .......

 

[Ryanxia]

Either an AR-15 and a bit of ammo or a Ruger 10/22 and A LOT of ammo. You'll be set for TEOTWAWKI

 

[metalart]

hmmmm.... let's see.

sig sp2022 - $360
mossberg 500 - $250
used marlin 30-30 - $250
gsg-5-22 - $270
___________
$1130

guess I would have to throw in a little extra..

 

[click clack]

Ammo, Few Knives, couple flashlights maybe, more ammo probably

 

[double bogey]

A couple of decent scopes. A couple of my rifles have had to suffer with inferior optics.

 

[bkjeffrey]

Leupold MK4 for my new AR10.....

EOTech and magnifier for my AR15....

Ammo in carious calibers....

 

[possom813]

30 ounces of silver

 

[sugarmaker]
