i'm looking to buy a new gun, up to about $600. there are many things i'm considering, but i would like to hear what you would buy in that price range. anything goes.

[LAK]

Personally, if someone thrust $600 into my hand and said "I want you buy a new gun, any new gun" - it would probably be a CZ 527 in something like .22 Hornet, or perhaps 7.62x39.

hmm $600 in my hands I would surf the net and do a lil shopping at dealers cost from some friends of mine and get maybe 4 or 5 old military sks's or a few saiga's I like quantity more than quality I buy cheap and repair broken guns and things like that. Ebay parts kits guns people played with and tried to mod and turned out wrong. The most expensive gun I have would be an fully tricked out sks with about $900 in it all together just to show off to some friends (and make a lil noise)

[Ala Dan]

Springfield Xtreme Duty .45 ACP

but, then I already have one~!:uhoh: :D

[grimjaw]

Plenty of nifty guns for $600 or less.


Vector Arms underfolder AK47 clone
CZ P-01
Glock 19 (meh, maybe)
Kahr K40
Ruger PC9GR
Springfield XD-9
Steyr M9
Walther P99
Marlin 1895/1895G
Plenty of Ruger single action revolvers to choose from
Older S&W revolvers, stylish yet deadly :cool:

The list goes on and on.

LAK, I just got the CZ 527 in 7.62x39. I think it's great, I just hope it shoots as good as it looks and feels.

jmm

[taliv]

i'd buy another suppressor
or ammo
or that barska scope and a nice laser rangefinder

[Starter52]

Get a Ruger #1 rifle.

[dakotasin]

remington 700 vls would probably be my first choice.

[WillBrayJr]

Springfield Xtreme Duty .45 ACP

but, then I already have one~!:uhoh: :D


That XD-45acp is one hell of a package. Looks like there isn't any need for the 45gap here in the USA anymore:D

Glock-20 and Gock-36
Sigarms P220 or P226 (CPO)
Ruger PC-9 carbine
Semi-auto SBR Uzi
Springfield Armory XD-45acp and Mil-Spec
Remington 870 Express

The list goes on;)

I think you need to resist the money burning a hole in your pocket until you get a clear idea of what you want a gun FOR. It might take long enough that you would be able to save up more money and get something nicer that would fill a real purpose.

[BozemanMT]

need more details
do you want a long gun a shotgun or a handgun

what do you want this gun to do?
carry, look pretty, hit varmits, etc?

Can't answer without SOME detail

[1911JMB]

Handgun- Used Sig P220

Semi Auto Rifle- Some AK varient

Rifle- Czec Mauser with 3 cases of surplus ammo

.22- Anything Ruger will do, plus a scope and likely a new trigger

Shotgun- Remington 870

[LiquidTension]

S&W .44mag :)

[gt3944]

SIG

[f4t9r]

how about a SIG P226

[50caliber123]

Dunham's near me has a sale once in a great while, $100 off any Armalite Rifle. That brings the cost of a brand new AR-180b down to $600 plus tax :rolleyes:

[Tequila_Sauer]

+1 for the CZ P-01

At a gun show, 600 will get you the gun, plus you'll still have cash left over for range ammo and a bottle of Tequila for the end of the night. :D

Or go the Sig route if you don't like the CZ (a lot of people don't like the lack of readily available CZ gear).

[rchernandez]

Great! No one beat me to it, here goes:

Get yourself a Rock Island Armory 1911 .45acp!

With the money you save over buying the other suggested pieces of firearms, get a progressive reloading machine...only way you can enjoy shooting a lot! Unless you just won the lottery...then I'll have to bill you for the advice!!! :)

[Tequila_Sauer]

Honestly, I was shocked at the lack of 1911 replies.

[Red Tornado]

Depends on what ya already got. With no knowledge, my default answer is....

Get a Garand.
RT

[Black Majik]

Here ya go Tequila. Springfield GI or Milspec

Others:
CPO SIG P220 or P226
CZ75
CZ Rami
Kahr P9/40/45
Build an AR15
Modify a Remington 870 w. surefire foreend

[lawson]

do you want a long gun a shotgun or a handgun

i left out details on purpose, i was more curious as to what others would buy with the same amount.

there isn't anything i drastically need, but there's a few things i want, and a few things i'm considering.

[Tequila_Sauer]

Actually, I kind of liked the fact that the recommendations weren't all 1911. :neener:

A CZ75 is also a good recommendation.

[rem870]

rifle-AK variant
pistol-Glock 21
shotgun-Norinco 97 Trench gun

[Kalashnikov]

A Mosin, no question.

[xds&gsps]

Springfield Xtreme Duty .45 ACP



Ditto!!

[Squidward]

Rather than buying a new gun, buy equipment that you don't have for the guns you already own,, Optics, nylon gear, bipods, carry cases, you get the idea.

[Erinyes]

$600 to spend on a gun... Geez...

Well here are the guns on my 06' list for under $600

Glock 20
Glock 30
Walther P99
Mosin Nagant 91/30
Yugo SKS
Used Beretta 92fs
Springfield 1903A3 (If it doesn't get sold before I can get my paws on it)

Slightly over $600

M1 Garand ($599, but it'll be over with tax)

Guns I already own for under $600

Walther P38 (You can still find 'em for about two and half bills with 2 mags and holster)
Browning High Power (bought mine used LNIB for $500 +tax, two mags)
Ruger No.1 (papaw gave it to me. 22-250. I can pick the letter to hit on a coke can at 150 yards, so the rifle itself has to be better than that.)
Marlin Model 60 (.22s are fun)
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III (great granddad brought it back from Europe in 1918. It's since become a family heirloom).

[palerider1]

get a used colt .45 1911

palerider1

[LAK]

grimjaw,

RE: cz 527 in 7.62x39;

Congratulations! I think it is a great idea; a handy little bolt-action in a light medium bore cartridge like the 7.62x39. Especially CZ's Mauser type action.

Let us know how it shoots!

how about geting a new ar15 upper. i was thinking of geting a 9mm upper, but it would seriously make me feel like i wasted money on the beretta carbine i bought a couple months ago. ...in fact i already feel like that, im really wanting a 9mm ar15... :)

[ALASKACAJUN]

I would put it down on a Les Baer custom AR... Then hope like hell that someone would give me the additional $1200 to pay for it... LOL :uhoh:

- Clint

[coyote204]

Rifle-Marlin 336 XLR .30-30
Pistol- SIG P229 .40
Shotgun-Remington 11-87

I would recommend the Remington 700 VLS, but I already have it.

[michiganfan]

Glock 23 night sights, few mags and ammo

[PILOT_OF_LIGER_ZERO]

WELL IF U LIKE GUNS I RECOMEND A RUGER. YOU CAN SHOOT THE HELL OUT OF ONE AND IT WONT FAIL ON YOU.

[goings_51]

If you go to a car dealer and tell him you want to spend $30,000 on a car, you get a $30,000 car. With anything I buy, I like value. I want to get the most for my money. With $600, you can get two guns or one gun and a lot of ammo. My favorite value brands are Taraus and Ruger, but my Rock Island Armory .45 is growing on me. If I were just starting out, I would get the Rock Island AND an SKS. That way, you have a capable handgun and a capable rifle. If you already own guns, look for something that fills a gap in your collection.

[Dave McCracken]

$600? A couple 870s...

[MSgt B]

Great! No one beat me to it, here goes:
