How to celebrate
So I'm on the fence as to how to celebrate our WIN.
Of course this means I have to buy a gun, but what...
Was thinking about another Henry. Maybe a 357.
Or a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmore
Or a 9mm AR carbine from PSA...
I just can't decide so let's have another vote!

Re: How to celebrate
The Ruger precision rifle is selling as fast as they can build them. I would love to own one.
Re: How to celebrate
I been thinking about an Officer-sized 1911 of some flavor....Perhaps, a RIA in 9mm.....

Re: How to celebrate
Depends on how old you are......if your semi old (like me) or old, buy what suits your fancy. Young guys to middle aged need to buy quality collector guns for future investment so when you do get semi old or old you can buy whatever you want.

Re: How to celebrate
Come January there are instituting background checks here for ammo and components. I'm not buying any now or then as it feeds the coffers of the idiots that run this state.
In preparation for this idiocy, I am moving most of my firearms and equipment out of state. I will maintain enough here for emergencies and pick up what I need on my way anywhere from my out of state location. I won't use any of my emergency stash unless it is an emergency so I won't need to buy anything here in the near or long term future.
I like most of what California represents. It's got a great climate, and the ocean is wonderful. But, the wife and I are planning on leaving when we retire in a few years.
Frankly there are just to many fools who will vote for things they don't understand, and for people they won't vet.

Re: How to celebrate
Well, I'm closer to 50 then 40, so I still an not sure what I am... I think like a kid but feel like I'm old( some days)
I really like the Ruger, but do I NEED it? Not really. I do like the 6.5 Creedmore though.
Not a big fan of 9mm, but an AR carbine could be a bunch of fun.
Another Henry could be fun but again do I really need it, nope...
Maybe I should keep thinking & looking.

Re: How to celebrate
Ha! I was thinking the same way I ended up putting on layaway a Ruger M77 MKII in 7.62X39 that I was eyeing on for some time. Hopefully at the end of the month I can finish paying it off. As for the Ruger Precision I finally picked mine up a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to try it out, just too busy . It's the Gen2 version in 6.5 Creedmore. I had a chance to shoot the 243 Win. and 308 Win. version that my friend picked up and all I have to say is WOW!!! Too bad they stop making the 243 Win. just didn't sell well but I've been hearing Ruger has a long action prototype built for testing but don't know what caliber.

I laughed when my friend told me but he bought that hi point 9mm carbine but for $250 bucks, it didn't suck.GunnyMack wrote:Well, I'm closer to 50 then 40, so I still an not sure what I am... I think like a kid but feel like I'm old( some days)

I am a big fan of 9mm so I've procrastinating on a Sig MPX but I keep coming back to why as well...

Re: How to celebrate
Hey! I just remembered a model 70 (post64) 308 collecting dust... Maybe time for a rebarrel, new stock and glass instead of buying new!

Re: How to celebrate
I've been wanting a new Ruger Blackhawk convertible .45, but thanks to my health and obummer no way can I afford it. Hell, we can't even put tires on the Pathfinder and it needs them.

Re: How to celebrate
Funny how these things come up. Got a call about 1 to take a ride up to see the preview for an auction. Drove up the 15 miles and it looks like a Winchester Mod. 57, a dewat 1928 Thompsom, Remington 141 pump in 35 and a Colt Lightning rifle in .22 will most likely follow me home on Sat. Sure is fun to be retired.----6

Re: How to celebrate
I just pulled the trigger on a new deer rifle. Tikka T3 hunter in 6.5-55. I built a Turk Mauser into a 6.5-55 about five years back for my grandson. He's killed several deer at 270 plus yards and last week a 37" Bull Moose here in north Idaho. The load for Bullwinkle was a 140 gr Nosler Partition. We had moose burger tonight. This purchase was to celebrate the relief over the election!
