$3000 for a single firearm

[Swing]

Three Gs? Why not get a transferable FA Mac-10.

 

[gp911]

Freedom Arms revolver with lotsa options in .500 Wyoming Express.

Find a Pre 64 Winchester or a Steyr.

Simply one of the finest outfits you will ever deal with.

Bright polished Python in your favorite barrel length.

If I had $3000 to spend on one firearm I would be looking for the best o/u shotgun that I could get for that amount.

OR

custom 1911

 

[9mmepiphany]

A nice SIG 210 would be on my mind



...with Nills grips and beavertail

 

[CountGlockulla]

A cooper rifle and a nice scope.

Wow. Thanks for pointing this out. I was planning to go to Texas next year. Will have to,allow time to stop here.

Custom shilo sharps

 

[bannockburn]

For $3000 a Beretta Model 687 Silver Pigeon II comes to mind.

3k

One of three: a quality 12 ga. O/U, a SIG P210, or a used double rifle chambered for a cartridge that I would use, like .30-06.

 

[Jaxondog]

Very nice Quigley. Did you have it made? That was a good movie.

 

[Boxhead]

One of these.

I'd get a good reloader and jump into IPSC full tilt. You're 3k will vanish in no time.

 

[76shuvlinoff]

With a mucked up motorcycle shoulder high recoil just isn't any fun any more. I would be looking at an quality semi auto shotgun.

....or a smaller caliber long range plinker

....or a custom 1911

sorry

Custom Colt-engraved Colt SAA and some very nice leather to carry/show it off at the BBQ.

Q

 

[Dryft]

I'd like to change my vote and agree with JT - you could absolutely look at Cooper rifles! It'd be pretty tough to go wrong with a Montana-made brilliant piece of work like theirs.

 

[SaxonPig]

There are some nice double rifles that can be had in that range. Not something that every Tom, Dick and Harry has at the range and great fun to shoot.

A decent S&W Registered Magnum. Rare, beautiful and a lot of drool factor.

A First generation Colt SAA. See above.

Take a mundane gun and make it yours. Ivory stocks and engraving. Fire up the BBQ!

 

[Sheepdog1968]

Thanks folks. I really appreciate all the good ideas.

 

[BSA1]

I'd rather buy a less expensive gun and spend the rest on enough ammo to learn to shoot it really well. But then you can tell I am not into expensive safe queens.

On the other hand a Custom Colt-engraved Colt SAA and some very nice leather to carry/show it off at the BBQ would be very, very nce. (drool, drool)

 

[oneounceload]

But then you can tell I am not into expensive safe queens.

Why would use assume that a $3000 gun is A: expensive or B: a safe queen?

 

[Hapworth]

What fun -- you're going to get as many possibilities as replies.

For handgun bliss: Wilson Combat CQB.

Interested in clay games? Best Beretta I could get for the money.

[CajunBass]

Parker Shotgun...probably a 20 ga. Wouldn't get top grade of course, but that would buy a decent one.

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

Jaxondog. RE: Shiloh-Sharps. I ordered a custom rifle right after "Quigley Down Under" came out, and it took 34 months to get it. I think the wait is now 48-60 months, and the price has gone up a bit.
