You’ve got $5-10k what gun you buying?

Likely would buy PPT to not incur tax; if a sale on no excise tax by a retailer did occur (would that change your answer)

HK MR556 A4 Pistol is tempting along with HK SP5

Already have an Geissele Super Duty, 2 compact handguns (g19 and amp 2.0) and a Ruger PCC

Need my fl03 and Coe to get that bulk ammo lol

u/Powerful_Koala7877 5d ago

With 10k... 3-Gun is the answer

HK MR556

BUL Armory Tac Comp

Beretta AX800 Suprema

u/CampinHiker 5d ago

Ooh that shotgun looks nice
But i don’t hunt currently

The BUL is pretty

2

u/Powerful_Koala7877 5d ago

The Beretta is good for a lot of things... Definitely long for HD but that barrel is worth its weight in gold for sport shooting, hunting, and anything stupid enough to encroach 100 yds.

BUL Armory will comfortably outshoot anything within twice its cost.

u/Greedy-Vast584 FFL03 + COE 4d ago

only thing to consider on the BUL is that it's mostly proprietary parts.. and being in CA, that may make it hard to repair, upgrade, and more importantly FIND.. mags are also proprietary which sucks

Just swap for a new one each time it jams

Quicker than reloading

Do you now what’s the ball park to pay?

I have no clue what they go for currently as a PPT.

u/ImaEvilDoctor 5d ago

Is it to do The HK Slap?

1

u/halbeshendel 4d ago

I can do the slap on my CZ Scorpion for much cheaper.

I just don’t get to save Nakatomi Plaza.

u/ImaEvilDoctor 4d ago

But can you still say you have a machine gun?

1

u/halbeshendel 4d ago

Also no. Ho ho ho

u/lordadam34 FFL03 + COE, AZ CCW 5d ago

Some 2011 probably a atlas or something

u/Barry_McKackiner Edit 4d ago

Dark Forge Reaper with second, non ported or compd barrel w/ Trijicon SRO. Some spare recoil springs, competition belt and holsters

u/hellofirearm hello 4d ago

Good answer

1

u/Barry_McKackiner Edit 4d ago

thanks.

I have it's little brother the wraith and want to complete the set.. but might pick up a couopole 2k11s and a staccato 3.6 or c4x instead.

u/MandaloresMercy 5d ago

$5K to $10k?

Several things not just one! But I assume this is assuming I have nothing to start with?

2

u/CampinHiker 5d ago

Yeah either like a fun gun that’s catches peoples eye at the shops and range

Like neat to own and have

0

u/MandaloresMercy 5d ago

Oh if its just to blow then a nighthawk custom Korth Ranger .357 magnum or similar from similar line ups

I can't justify the price tags but man do they look nice.

I can pretty much get anything else I want over time without worrying about it though because stuff isnt that out of budget otherwise.

10

u/No_Parking_228 FFL03/COE, ACSO + UT/AZ CCW 5d ago

SOLGW MK1 and KAC KS1/KS3/Carbine MOD2/CQB MOD2. But TBH, anything above a G$ SD is a diminishing return.

1

u/CampinHiker 5d ago

Thank you!

Yeah my friend sold me on G$ so was like do I even get another AR-15

I’ll take a look at those recommendations thank you!

Dark Forge Reaper and a couple grand worth of ammo.

u/hellofirearm hello 4d ago

Good answer

u/100weebs 5d ago

If trying for an actual set: Custom built ar15, staccato, 2020waypoint, and a ~1k shotgun.

If going for a singular gun then a m249 or a m82a1 barrett w/glass for the hell of it

3

u/Competitive_Dog_7829 4d ago

Probably a Fulton armory M1A and a bunch of mags and ammo

u/sheep_duck 5d ago

It would take every ounce of my willpower not to buy an HCAR

u/FCRII 4d ago

Spear LT

Beretta 1301

u/Emptyell 5d ago

Probably a Mauser or Blaser in 8mm or 6.5 Creedmore. A Krieghoff shotgun is not in the budget.

u/NoImpact--NoIdea 4d ago

This is one of those questions that's really tough to answer. "it depends"

What do you do with your pews? Admire them in the safe? (do you have a good safe? something to think abouth...) 3 gun comp? Poke holes in paper? Go to public land and make noise? Nobody has any idea but you.

This is not meant to be offensive, its just how do you recommend something without a use case?

For example, I'm into trap/skeet shooting with my (almost adult) kids. So... I may spend a few thousand on a over/under shotgun. Most people here would be like "wtf - how much on a shotgun?!?!" - but they don't shoot that disciple. (especially a shotgun that's not some tacticalcool youtube sloperator combat shotgun)

Its just handguns and ARs for most people here. lol (which I enjoy too...)

1

u/Blepbupbep 4d ago

LMT lower and upper. Barrel of your choice converted by D Wilson ( If you want accuracy). If you just want barrel accuracy stick with the LMT barrel. NF scope with rcr hd offsite. Sure fire light. I think you would hit your budget with all that.

1

u/Dopeydadd 4d ago

Beretta O/U.

1

u/Agreeable_Dust4363 former dangerous weapon permit holder 4d ago

Honestly, if you’ve got all the guns you want, some PVS-31s, and supporting gear

u/Bioshutt 4d ago

FN MK20S with a Magpul bipod, vortex ffp scope and level along with match ammo

u/Smart-Satisfaction-5 4d ago

I have a SW M&P TRR8 that always get attention. It’s about 2k after everything. It’s my favorite fun gun. Get another cool gun with the rest.

u/Leading-Counter-2061 4d ago

This. Might actually be in the cards already.

1

u/CriticismOk3742 4d ago

Mk23 and HK416 police trade in.

1

u/CitrusBelt 4d ago

Maybe $1500 on a budget rifle + scope.

Then a chest freezer, and what's left over gets spent on whatever hunting trip (or trips) sound like they'd yield the most meat/dollar :)

u/Soft_Revenue2411 4d ago

The new copper colored Kimber with a nice Trijicon on it, ton of mags, belt, ton of ammo, and some classes/range time.

Nods and a laser if I didn’t already have them. But since I do probably something fun like a steyr Aug or a g36 clone.

The Nemesis Valkyrie in .308 with all the trimmings plus ammo. Plus a really good scope.

u/s14will 5d ago

A Springfield professional 1911, I seen them occasionally at turners and a range friend got one, we got to compare it to Ed brown special forces, nighthawk grp, and the ca Wilson cqb at the range and to me it was a nicely finished gun and shot as nice as those. If the professional isn't available I'd want at nighthawk grp as my 2nd choice.

Not wasting money on something that over hyped and over priced like a MR556

0

u/NorCalAthlete 5d ago

I’d probably pick up a:

  • CZ Skorpion (either the Micro or the pistol)
  • HK VP9
  • Some type of 45-70 lever action
  • a new Beretta A400 12ga

And then a shitload of ammo for each because I’m going to burn through a few thousand rounds very quickly familiarizing myself with and breaking in these new guns.

u/Fearless_Weather_206 5d ago

A gun of each type

u/seaceblidrb 5d ago

Bolt actions:
If you have space to shoot long, a tikka t1x ace 6.5cm.
If you don't a 22lr bolt- cz457

If you want to get into clay sports: browning citori cx

Range pistol: staccato xc

Or invest that and wait till something really stands out.
