    Help me pick out my next gun

    Hey all...

    A month ago I quit dipping tobacco after 35 years.
    The wifey told me that if I quit, I could get any gun I wanted, no questions asked.
    While I long for a NEMO OMAN, that isn't going to happen. I need to be real.
    One gun I really want is a Ruger Toklat, but I can't find one anywhere, even on GunBroker.com.
    I shoot a lot and I reload as well. Hunt big game, squirrels, practice defensive hadgun and tactical rifle.
    Long range shooting is my favorite and part of me wants to build a nice 300PRC.

    I am totally stumped on what to get. I have everything that covers all my bases and then some... I guesss this is a good problem to have...

    Thanks and have a great Christmas!!!!!!!!!

    Get a Desert Tech MDRX 308 bullpup. They make them in California compliant.

    I see you're up in Big Bear, I grew up in Lake Arrowhead, lived there for 21 years, moved to Claremont, Costa Mesa, Oceanside and Laguna Niguel before moving to South Carolina. I miss the mtns.

      Marrocchi 612 in 9.3x74r double rifle, with 9.3/12g barrel set and 12g o/u barrels. It's 3 guns in one!

        I am jealous you live in Free America... But yes it is nice up here but it is a dry winter so far...

          Now that is a rather interesting choice for sure....

                Do you still have to pay for it yourself or is she hooking you up? If it's coming out of your own budget, I'm not sure how crazy you want to get.

                    Since you want the Toklat, I’d say keep searching. Alternatively, have Bowen build you something similar to your exact wants and wishes...

                    If you like long range...how about something a little Different:

                          There are some really good ideas here!!!
                          Has anyone bought an M1 GARAND from the CMP?
                          That is something that I might look into.

                              I honestly didn't know what the 'Ruger Toklat' was, but yes, that is a sexy revolver!

                              If you reload, something like a CMP Garand would be a darn good idea - they are a lot of fun (every time I've shot a M14, they're all tacticooled out, and they just don't run as naturally to me as a Garand).
