National Buy A Gun Week.

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

"a gun"? You mean to say that I shouldn't buy my normal 2-3 that week?

 

[Otemigo]

I bought an XDM, an M-44, and a pellet rifle.

My wife- Taurus .40 Millenium (still trying to fix the SKYY 9MM at the factory)

My Dughter- her first .22 rifle (pink)

My Dad- Tuarus Judge 45/410 and (3) M-44's

YES... we went in debt a little. The Cabela's card is GREAT!

I would like to thank the wonderful folks at 111 Gun Shop in Clarksville, Indiana. GREAT PLACE to SHOP.

 

[Rugerlvr]

I'm leaning towards a S&W .38 snubbie for my gun that week

 

[armabill]

I didn't wait, I already went out and bought one.
My son bought 2.

 

[Chic]

I bought a prius because congress won't let us drill...

Democrats for the poor... yeah right! B.S. for the poor.

I am saving for a pink taurus.

 

[TX35]

Well, I have been eyeing a Lancaster AK as of late!!!!

 

[Joe Cool]

Well if you insist, twist my arm for a worthy cause ...

 

[Jrsmith]

Arg, wish I had read this thread before I bought a XD (4 inch, 9mm) yesterday!

Oh well, I'll just shoot my guns that week and call it close enough.

 

[EHCRain10]

I think i can swing this been looking at a 22lr to add to the collection

 

[JustinL]

I'm sure I could think of something to buy......

 

[jws527]

Well, if my C&R gets here fast enough, I'll be purchasing at least two that week - but at best only one will require a 4473.

 

[dispatch55126]

Does buying ammo online count? Otherwise I could trade my 995 for another pistol.

 

[Gunnerpalace]

Gentleman, and Ladies,

Please read the Title, it fell apart on the day as well.

 

[funkerbunny]

I guess I know when I'll be picking up that marlin model 60 and 91/30 now !

 

[Flyin Ashtrays]

Alright, alright... My GSG-5 should be here by then...

 

[TexasRifleman]

I'll work on it. I'm running out of stuff that I want.

A nice Weatherby maybe.... maybe a SxS in 16 ga.

I'll play along, damn fine idea

 

[Picard]

I'll try to time my next gun purchases to coincide with that week.

 

[Srigs]

I will see what I can do.

 

[borntwice]

I say, "buy as many guns as you want, and can afford..." My $.02.

someone recommend a nice .22 of some kind, preferably one that takes 30rd mags or some form of high capacity. no stinking 10rd sissy mags, and i will get it next week. need something economical to shoot, and i would like it to be able to shoot out to 100-200 yards, so i can learn to use a scope and do more precision shooting. bolt action or not doesnt matter to me. i am aware that if its a bolt gun, it will most likely not accept hicap mags. i am OK with that.

A 10/22 fits the bill, other than the "shoots out to 100-200 yards" part. While it is true that a .22 round will fly that far, it doing so with anything simulating accuracy is not terribly likely.

You can learn to shoot with a scope on a 25 yard indoor range with a .22. Just shoot a smaller target.

 

[jaak]

well, what about 100 yards? would it go that far, with reasonable accuracy? i am used to shooting ak's and such. i am not the best with a scoped rifle at this point.

.22 no good at 100 yards? ROFLOL!

I have very little experience with rifles and I can shoot a hand-sized group at 100yrds with DH's old Marlin from benchrest.

I could reliably hit a man-sized target in the vitals ("defensive" accuracy) at that distance with my 8yo's un-scoped Crickett.

Sorry. You and I have different defintions of accuracy. Mine is 5 rounds under a dime at 50 yds. I like to shoot rimfire benchrest, and 248 -12x is an average score.

 

[3KillerBs]

I believe the question was about "reasonable accuracy".

5 rounds inside a dime is "astounding, wonderful, stare-in-amazement-at-such-an-expert-achievement accuracy".
