I guess I'd have to buy a few new USED guns.

$1000 Browning Citori O/U 12ga (unless a comparable Beretta O/U fits better)
$750 Colt 1911
$450 Remington 700 (hopefully w/ scope)
$100 bow
$100 mystery gun
$100 mystery gun

No, scratch that... maybe:

$1700 used Beretta O/U that I use
$700 Colt 1911
$100 Bow



This is hard. I guess I'd probably end up borrowing one of my grandpa's hand me down rifles.

Ruger 10/22 = $250
Rem 870 12 ga. = $250
CZ 75BD in 9mm = $600
Rem 700 ADL in 270 Win. with decent glass = $600
Budget AK = $700

$100 left over for ammo.

1. M-1 Garand - $525
2. Ithaca M37 12 ga. - $250
3. Yugo M57 Tokarev - $250
4. FN Mauser .30-06 w/ scope - $600

Total: $1625

I'd use the rest for 7 cans (1400 rds) of .30-06 HXP, 200 rds. 7.62x25 Tok, and 100 rds. 12 gauge 00 buck.

It was REALLY hard for me not to go with my Yugo Mauser in 8mm instead of the Garand. I only went with the Garand for the fact of ammo continuity (with the FN Mauser) and ammo availabilty.....30-06 is everywhere! Though, the Achilles Heel of the Garand are the enblocs. A bolt-action can go all day without a mag or clip.

I don't think the poster included any glass on his two rifles. That could easily bump his 2500 over to 3500

I'll play along...
1. Remington 700 ADL 30-06 with new Weaver 4X or 6X scope (Japan) mount & rings...$600
2. Remington Express 870 12 gauge (with 18" & 28" barrels)...$450
3. Glock G19...$535
4. Ruger 10-22...$275
***these are all new with taxes included...if you shop around***

Remaining $640 on ammo...

Remington had a package going with walmart at the time and the 700 came with a non marked Nikon on it.. I don't use scopes with AR-15's... at least not yet, I want to master the irons first.

Very Nice Idea's guys! for the record you didn't have to include ammo, this thread is just for fun... However, it doesn't hurt to be practical!

Glock 19 $500
PSA AR15 $650
Rem 870 26" $350 plus $100 for 18" barrel
So $1600 for the guns

$200 for 500 rounds of brass 5.56
$140 for 500 rounds of 9mm
$80 for 100 rounds of buck shot
$50 for a case of bird shot
$50 for red dot on AR

$380 left over for extra mags and whatever else you may think you need.

1 SVI open pistol. Can I get a bigger budget?

Remington model 788 .308win $400 shipped
Taurus PT140 40 caliber $275 used
Remington 870 express 12ga. $350 new
Ruger mini 14 $700 new
Ruger 10\22 $250 new

$1975
$525 for ammo Remington 788 and the 870 express 1st and second choice they both can put food on the table and the 1187 doubles as great home defense

Very nice!
