So I have a $2,000 budget to buy an AR and a lever gun, What would you guys get?

jay.sharkbait · « **Reply #1 on:** July 22, 2015, 06:47:56 PM »

What are you planning to do with each?

Both come in many flavors.

Lever gun is for brush hunting deer, and the AR would be for bench shooting and yotes

I love the 30-30 lever action for a deer brush gun, don't know anything about AR's. Good luck, it would be fun to be able to buy those two guns.

Pick your poison.....45/70, 450 or 444 marlin. 30-30 would work, but wouldn't be my first choice.

Savage 99 in .243
Ar10 in .243

If you have to have an AR15 I'd do a Grendel.

That winchester 88 is bad a**. i have been in a long toss up between the 6.5 Gren and the .243 in a AR platform or even the 6.5 creedmore, i reload so odd ball calibers arent a problem.

All good ideas so far!

Marlin 45-70 guide gun (I have always wanted one

) . that leaves you around $1500 ish. So I would go either colt or s&w and buy a good optic. I like eotechs.

What about a little smaller caLiber for a deer brush gun like a 308 marlin express? Give you around a grand for an at?

257wbymagkiller · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2015, 11:20:59 PM »

True there. I am thinking maybe a marlin 30-30 and maybe a daniel defense....

If you do....make sure you find an older model marlin. They are much better quality than the new production.

257wbymagkiller · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:23:20 AM »

Oh for sure an older one. If I can find one for a decent price tho in good shape

brokenvet · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2015, 06:27:37 AM »

I would do an M1A Socom16 and an AR. The AR would be parts and put it together myself to stay within budget. Maybe not stay within budget.
