If you were given $1000
« on: March 10, 2015, 06:18:27 PM »
If you were given $1000 that had to be spent on a gun what would you buy and why? I have a 308 Savage and a Knight 50 Cal. Shotguns are covered. Would prefer something that would be used for hunting deer/elk.

I'd add some money to it and pick up a lightweight mountain rifle in 30 .06. Probably

I'd probably put some glass on the .308 I already have and buy bullets with what's left.  That would be spent "On a gun" wouldn't it?

One gun probably a lr rem in 300 wm, then a long range savage in 6.5 x284. Then a t3 in 300wsm . In that range the glass would have to be vx2.

If I was going to buy a $1000 factory rifle, it'd probably be a Rem 700 5r in 300 Win Mag. Already comes threaded for a brake or can and reputable out of the box accuracy.

If I could spend $1000 on anything gun related, it'd be on a custom action for a new build or a KRG Whiskey 3 Gen 4 chassis.

I agree 308 would do the job just fine!! Anymore I would rather have ammo than buy more guns.

A .375 something, I'm partial to the 375 Ruger. I can't think of a better elk gun.
