If you had a $1000 to spend on a gun

[w-ryle-x]

WWII era German made walther ppk.

 

[Birds Away]

Had to look it up again.. He's relisted it as a cerakote finish. Hmmm....

Yep, it's kinda beat up but still a good buy.

 

[HamYankee]

SIG P226 MK25 with lots of extras! Why? Because I always wanted one!

 

[other dave]

Two tone Sig P245!

True...in today's world it takes more than $1K to really get anything nice. I stuck with the M-1 Garand with this thread, mainly because of it's historic value!

Heck I don't know if you can get a decent condition M-1 for 1K unless you go by way of CMP. I've wanted and looked at quite a few M-1's and IIRC $1200 was about the best price I found for one in VG condition. But I'm no expert at finding good bargains on such heavily sought after WW-II firearms.

Serbu RN50. I actually do have just over $1000 saved for a new firearm, and with Serbu offering a .50 BMG for $875, it was simply to sweet a deal to pass up. Sure it's a single shot modified break action with a threaded breech, but I don't think I'll ever see a .50 BMG sell for anything near that price.

Now had that not been announced at SHOT this year, I'd probably go with a Remington 700. My brother has one and it's just a flawless rifle, and everyone seems to love em.

I definitely have that to spend but have no idea what to get. It's depressing.

 

[sparky32]

I would save it till i got 2500 more to get another Wilson Combat.....

 

[terrythegamer]

Current collection in mind would get a good night vision scope or suppressor. Other wise a colt 1911

 

[disGRUNTld0311851717]

S&W M&P because possibly money left over for extras and i trust it for a cheaper AR

 

[MinuteManMike]

A good carry pistol. What that would be, I have NO idea. Still trying to sort that out.

 

[Ricnzak]

Arsenal SLR-107FR

Picked it up a couple weeks ago

 

[Hohn]

Ruger Mark 3 target. Volquartsen goodies and a bunch of ammo.

Ruger Mark 3 target. Volquartsen goodies and a bunch of ammo.

Huh. Rimfire. Now that you mention it I wouldn't mind Volquartsenizing my 22/45 and adding an optic.

 

[batmunch]

I would probably spend $800 to build a .300BLK SBR and then the other $200 on the tax stamp. I realize that $800 isn't that much in the way of "name brand" parts, but I'm patient

...and your current gun collection had no bearing on the choice. What would you buy and why?

With the above restrictions in mind: A decent 1911 in .45ACP or a Ruger Vaquero in .45Colt or a Ruger Bearcat .22. The Bearcat would be the most fun (for me).

 

[Ru1]

sig scorpion 1911

 

[Hohn]

Another great option for $1000 would be a Cabot...

.. Hammer spring.

 

[JACKD7]

H&K USP EXPERT 9

 

[GolfTangoCharlie]

Colt 1911
