looking for good second gun.

[IJnuclear2009]

I have recently sold all of my guns recently to start a better collection with new and well thought out gun buys. Majority of the gun that I had before were impulse buys or bought because they were cheap (lever action 45, Sigma 40, 243 savage, 12g mossberg 500, H&R 12g single shot,.ar10,and ar15) Im looking for a good second gun. I have just picked a M&P 40 full size now I am looking for a rifle I can use for hunting any size game or a pistol for CCW (good ones). Im open to anything all models. I have a budget of $500. I also forgot to mention that I was not on Calguns when I bought those guns...lol I am enjoying this website a lot 10x better than facebook.

How about a Glock 26 9mm for CCW and a $79 m91/30 Mosin-Nagant for hunting? You could get both for around $600...

Look at savages for a good hunting rifle. I've always liked them. There's always the Rem 700 if you want to spend more money.

For ccw, i second the G26. great gun and just as accurate as it bigger brothers

Keep an eye on the for sale section for a used rifle. Savage makes a nice rifle. Remington 700's are legendary. Howa makes a really nice rifle at a really nice price. The action on the Howa was actually smoother than the 700 that I checked out. I would recommend a 30.06. Great round (over a hundred years old) and can be found at any major retailer or any country gas station in the middle of nowhere. Good luck on your search!!

Savage/Vanguard/Tikka/Howa in 308win with a 3X9X40 Leupold scope and you will be set for good. You can get a Leupold off ebay and save. Do not worry as they rarely have trouble and even then they have a no BS warr. I have about 20+ and not a bad one. I say the 308win over the 30-06(which I have a number of and like) only because all you need for any game is 150-165gr bullets and the 308 will do anything the 30-06 will do as well as surplus ammo is and will continue to be easy to get for the 308. This is not true for the 30-06 anymore.

PS you really need a 22RF(rifle and pistol) for fun cheap shooting and practice.

Some of the most fun I have had at the range has been with my Ruger 10/22.
