In the last month, I have been promoted to Lieutenant, (Navy O-3) refinanced my house (no cash out, but saved $300/mo in interest), and recieved a large increase in Flight Pay.
I was planning on getting some stuff I had been putting off anyway, but the wife "approved" the following, making it guilt-free:
1-New stuff from my Triumph Bonneville. I plan on getting a center stand, and some decent mufflers.
2-Parts to finish fixing the boat. I'd been holding off on a new carb and intake.
and most importantly...
ANY GUN I WANT!
Here is my quandry. I currently have 2 12ga pumps, and a Marlin 60 (really her's). The rest of my collection had been sold off over the last few years when she was in college and money was tight.
Here are my thoughts in no particular order.
Option 1: I was thinking of a new 1911 style pistol, but am open to other ideas. I miss my old Series 80, and do not have any handguns at the moment, and may get stationed in a state with less than friendly gun laws.
Option 2: 16 Gauge SxS S0 DeHaan. I like SxS, don't have one, and the 16 gauge would add to the "neato" factor.
Option 3: Some sort of .30-06/.270/.308 Deer Rifle. Bolt action with a scope, other than that, not set on any one model.
Option 4: A CMP M1903A3 Springfield. Historic, uses common ammo, and Grandpa carried a sniper version in WWII.
Option 5: CMP M1. Historic, and semi-auto.
I am posting this on all 3 "world" sites.
If anyone would like to open my eyes to a gun I may not have considered, it would be greatly appreciated.
I shoot skeet, and like all forms of shooting. I do some hunting, but my job and availabity during hunting season limits what I can plan on doing, but would like to hunt more
