Here I am about to turn 26, getting married in a year and the thought that occupies most of my time is "I own too few tools." That includes everything from hand saws, to welders, to guns. I'd prefer to build a shop where I can manufacture most anything. I would also like to build a small arsenal to protect my soon to be wife and my shop, (incase of unforseen events.) Thanks to my generous family they have donated a few guns to my cause. I have inherited a Winchester model 94 30/30, also a Beretta model 1200 12 ga. These are excellent guns to start the collection. What I'm looking for is to establish a solid collection of weapons that ammo will be plentiful and easy to find, interchangeable and cheap is a plus. I'll start with my rifle needs and finish with pistols.
1. Long range bolt action rifle w/ scope.
-Have been thinking of a Win mag .300 but ammo might be a problem, maybe a 30/06?
-The 30/30 is a great rifle but with top eject and the classic look I don't want to change it.
- This will be my primary big game weapon also, mainly elk.
2. I have a great shotgun already just need to buy a barrel so I can shoot slugs. It has a 28" modified choke currently.
3. I do not own any hand guns currently. I have lined up a SW99 40 cal. for a great price that I'm sure I will buy. I would like to own at least two handguns, one high capacity polymer semi auto, and one classic revolver. I'd like to keep these two the same caliber. Obviously buying the 40 seems like I'm headed in the wrong direction for that because not to many revolvers come in 40 cal correct?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
