What's with this? THR always has threads with questions such as, "I have $800 to spend on a rifle/handgun/shotgun. Which would you recommend?" Invariably, someone always replies "buy x brand for $400 and spend the rest on ammo and so on."
Really, does anyone here ever spend all they've got on a gun, and put off buying ammo or accessories for weeks or months? The first thing I do with a new gun is strip it and clean it. The second thing I do is go out and shoot it like crazy. If I like the gun, the third thing I do is go out and buy all the reloading components so I can shoot it even more.
If I have $800 for a gun, I want an $800 gun, not a $400 gun. It's sort of like buying a car: I determine the price that I can afford, but I don't start factoring things like gas or oil into the equation.
OK, meaningless Sunday afternoon rant over. Nothing to see. Move along.
