What to buy?

[DirtySteve]

How about a C. Sharps 45-90 or 45-100...

What do you buy yourself for a new toy when there is nothing you’ve just got to have?

A new bolt rifle in a big 30? Another xp100 in something odd? An old single shot in some obscure obsolete caliber?

Think you would feel better if you just bought like a new scope for a forum member in greater need?

 

[Scott-ak]

it's simple... nothing.

Always wanted a marlin 45-70 stainless big loop 16" barrel. Threaded for a can and brake. Can play with sub sonic cast or juice it up with supers and see how many besser blocks it will smash

I just like beer. Not even too picky about that!

Beer or bourbon - you do have to worry about barrel wear, cleaning procedures, load development, etc. - just enjoy.

 

[Dgd6mm]

A spare barrel, an action, a scope, etc.

I write myself an IOU. I might not have a need or want for something right now but that usually changes within a few days or weeks.

If you don't know what you want maybe you don't need anything? And if that is the case get more ammo for what you already have!

My advice, Buy something while your money still has value.

If you dont need it think about what will be in demand. Think about an AK, 1000rds, and 5 magazines- you may be able to trade that for a truck someday soon, or be able to arm a brother that may not have prepared just right

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Think about how valuable a simple 10-22 and a backpack containing 5000rds would be. You could feed a family for years once the digital currency comes around and you get shut off because of your social credit score and cant buy a loaf of bread. A million in the bank is useless at that point

Find a Ruger#1 in hornet or .218 bee.I have the bee and it is a riot.

Design your own cartridge. Worked for me (338 BOS)

Yes is about the best answer I can give you. Guilty as charged lol.

Having thoughts on a 7.62x39 bolt gun for some reason. Went through the SKS period in the 80’s, would like one with a 308 bore though. We shall see, have a couple of CB molds that drop around .314. What I need, another project ……..

A Remington rolling block in 43 Spanish?

Had one in times gone by.

Many years ago I bought a Mini Mauser in 7.62x39, Rebarrelled it to 270x39 Improved. Just a great accurate little fellows deer rifle, and now it is a 220 Beggs "220 Russian".

My latest actually was both an old single shot in an equally old caliber, although not obscure. Winchester LowWall single shot in .22RF. Built in 1896, this one was different enough to buy and bring home. It has a #2, rather than the more common #1 barrel contour, half round, half octagon, single set trigger, and a nickel plated double hook buttplate. I applied for a factory letter from the Cody Museum the day after it followed me home. It's in pretty fine condition, and I would guess it was someone's pride and joy off hand rifle. If all the features are as it came from the factory, it was an even better deal that the price I paid. It had it's maiden voyage to the range yesterday. Best group out of 4 ammo choices was .450" for 10 shots @ 25yds, double that at 50 with a couple fliers that were no doubt operator error. Without fliers, it would have been .700". Not bench gun standards, but it isn't a bench gun, and doesn't ride the bags like one either.

Give a pcp air gun ago. Many good choices out there. Most are very accurate out to 50 yds. Some have moa accuracy to 100. Plus they are quite and really fun for target shooting or pesting.

 

[dellet]

A new set of name tags?

 

[Charliemac]

A nice clean Winchester M52 sporting rifle.
