What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012

Re: What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012

AI AW .308 with S&B 3-12 PMII.

I'm liking it enough I think I might need one in .260 and a .338. This hobby is extremely good at keeping me poor.
 
Re: What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012

Mine was a DTA SRS in 308 along with a S&B PM2 5-25 P4F. I also picked up three Atlas V8 bipods to replace my first gen units and a set of Viperskins for my AIAW.

I think I'm done for a bit now unless I decide the SRS isn't for me and I decide to swap it for something else.

I'm in the same boat with you. I'm saving up now for a mcmillan a5 for my remington 5r. Also bought a Ruger lcp for pocket carry this summer.

My wife and I both made a decision. Either WE spend the money we've worked for and saved all our lives or our kids will just end up squandering it when we die.

We've decided to just squander it and get the enjoyment ourselves.

Just made the first purchase of the year. Picked up bolt rifles for both wifey and myself. For me, a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308, and a Youth Model Remington 700 in .243 for her. Matching Harris bipods. Mine has a Nikon 4-12x40 scope, and hers has an el-cheapo 4-12x40 that came pre-mounted.

We're both looking forward to hitting the range soon and getting familiar with them. We're proficient handgun shooters, but have no real rifle experience to speak of, and absolutely zero long range experience (which is why I'm here, reading till my eyes bleed).

Hmmmm, I've sold a ton of stuff but haven't bought one gun related item yet. Oh wait, I did buy a Badger base for a S/A R700. Only other toy purchases so far has been to order a 2012 Camaro SS and purchased a pile of parts for it already.

First on the gun related list though is glass for a new build from Mike Bush.

Just need to narrow the choices and get something ordered. The process has begun..................

I bought a Rock River Arms tactical operator 2 when the sale started where you get a free rear sight.. I went with the dominator 2 for an eotech but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't had planned for an aimpoint.

Does anyone know if you can get an aimpoint mount that will sit as low as an eotech?

1. Either a Wilson Combat or a Nighthawk 1911
2. Kel Tec KSG shotgun - if those d-bags ever release them in lots larger than 2
3. AAC suppressor - I figure when I am actually able to pick it up in the year 2020 I'll post a pic but by then well all probably be shooting electromagnetic rail guns.

This isn't related to a gun purchase but I'd like to attend as many shooting classes as possible.

Gun money has been tightso far. I've been dumping most of my money into getting my SWAT gear up to date. When I can I'm looking at messing around with either a AR platform in 300 Blackout or a bolt gun in 300 BO. Man I need more money!!!!
