I'm looking to buy my first gun, but i don't have that much to spend.
As i see it, i can get something like a pt92 and shoot remanufactured 9mm, get a glock+.22 lr conversion kit or get a used .223 bolt action ( less ammo shot per range trip= cheaper )
Or there is the milsurp route. Is a milsurp pistol /rifle a good option for a cash strapped greenhorn? Will i even be able to maintain it or will I be stuck with a rifle i can't get to work? Is surplus ammo available at 9mm cost per round or below?
From what Ive picked up , the quickest way to get better is to put as much lead downrange as possible.
I'm willing to spend upto 400 for the gun and 250 for two months worth of bang bang. I have rented out a gun before, so i estimate I'll use about 700-1000 rounds every two months.
