$10,000 for guns for great grandkids

[Trigun]

A boatload of Norincos. The best value for $10K.

You are the man! buy 10K worth of NP 29 and make another 50K. I like this idea.

I would buy several good guns. There is no $10,000 gun that I would buy, unless it had wheels.

In My House

Perazzi Shotgun, Blieker small bore, (Walter GSP, if your a thrifty shopper). Then whine and ##### that I don't have enough money for ammo....of course for "the children". Wink, Nudge.

$10,000 for a dream gun? Only if you dream very small.

10K isn't enough for me, what with todays prices. My 1/2 filled wish list!

Lets say Savage 12F/TR 308 = $1250
NightForce scope, rings, base = $2450
press, dies, acc. = $540
1000 bullets, 400 brass, 8lbs powder, 5000 primers = $1200
Shooting accessories = $440
gun cleaning = $110
gun case = $335
membership at range = $100 - $300
PAL/RPAL course = $140 Total = $6765

9mm STI TagetMaster + tweaks = $2200
xtra mags, holster = $500
Dies, 8lbs powder, 2000 bullets, brass, primers = $690
gun case, accessories = $80
Total $10235 + gst = $10746

Thats just for 2 fine firearms! We all know 2 is not enough!

I'd split it in 3... and get 3 'nice' piece...

1 rifle, something like a Cooper M52

1 shotgun... something SxS or O/U in 20g

1 pistol, something like a custom Dlask 1911

I like the way you think! A man after my own heart.

Ten Grand for the grand children would go in an RESP for their education if they wanted it. If not it would return to the investor.
$10,000 would not cover what I would buy.
M1942 original U.S. Airborne Jump Jacket---$3500
M1942 Original U.S. Airborne Jump Trousers---$1200
M1940 Original Corcoran Jump Boots---$300 to $500
M-1C D-bale helmet with correct Airborne Hawley fiber liner---$15,000 to $20,000
M-1A1 Folding stock Carbine preferably Irwin Pedersen or even National Postal Meter{yeah I know they didn't make the M1A1, but I can dream can't I}---$7500 to $12,000.
Lets see...that equals at least $27,500 to $37,200
If your gonna dream you might as well dream BIG!!!!
Cheers

$10000 is hard. Enough to buy a great gun but not enough for a hierloom like a Holland and Holland or other english made double. Maybe the best old english 7X57 rifle I could get for $10000 ??

This summer someone was telling me a story that when his father died he left him some money, and the dad said it was specifically for buying a Sig Sauer.

 

[MrSchultz]

i would put that money towards my own personal range when i buy a house in the rurals. i have enough guns... for now.

If I could only have $10k worth of handguns, well, f**k, ummmmm..... let's try:

STI Legend 40SW with extra mags - $4k
Smith Wesson 686 6" s/s 357mag - $1k
Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8" blued 357mag - $700
Kimber Raptor s/s 45acp - $2k
Glock G17 9mm (sentimental fav) - $700
Smith Wesson 500SW - $1500
==========================
Should take us to about $10k
Has a little bit of everything, hopefully enough to show the grandkids what guns were like in my day

i was thinking of buying that s&w 500, but i know it would get used a couple times and the novelty would wear off... fast! it's a nice gun to hang on the wall and look at from time to time.
