So, say you get back $600 that you'd loaned to Uncle Sam for a year...
You have all the guns that you *need* for plinking, range and personal protection...
You want something fun, maybe a little impractical...but not just a wall hanger with no readily available ammo or too finicky to shoot on at least a monthly basis...
You decision can be based on looks...
What would you choose and why? |

I like Security Sixes and I have bought many for just that reason.
For $600 you might be able to get two,  __________________

Field or Service grade Garand from the CMP would both be within your price range.

Pick up a .45-70 Marlin Guide Gun or 1895 SS. Ammunition is readily available and it's a flat out hoot to shoot. It will also put a serious hurt on anything it hits. __________________

Sounds like a good time to buy a 44 mag. Fun to shoot, not all that practical for most. Did I mention fun to shoot? __________________ Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~ Thomas Jefferson
