    Help me make my decision

    I got some extra money for a new toy and can't make up my mind on which one to buy. It's either a Desert Eagle 44mag or a Remington 700 Tactical w/ Leupold Mark 4 scope. I'm leaning more towards the Desert Eagle because I go to the local indoor pistol range mostly when I shoot. Here is what I have now in my collection.

    1911 Les Baer CC
    CZ 75 SP01
    HK P30ls
    Springfield XD
    S&W 629 Stealth Hunter
    Ruger LCP

    Russian SKS
    Remington 870
    2 Ruger 10/22 target
    BCM AR15

    seems pretty obvious that you are lacking in a full power long gun.

    You already have a 629 stealth hunter, so I think you have your 44mag needs covered.
    Further the Desert Eagle is like having gold and chrome wheels on your Buick.
    Some like it. Most think it is unnecessary and gaudy.

    Your cash, but I would get a bolt rifle if I were you.
    700s are good rifles if you are into modifying your rig, but you can get a better machined rifle in a Tikka for the same money.

    Or best answer is to get both.

          Depends, are you a member of any cartels?

          If not, get the 700.

            700 no question ... Fills a void in the collection ...

                  obviously the 700.

                  if you HAVE to have the DE get it in 50 not 44.

                    That 700 will last a lifetime for whatever job you give it.

                    The DE will get old soon.

                    Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                      De is going to seem cool the first time you show it to people who don't know much about firearms.

                      The 700 is a fine long range rig.

                      It's up to you but the deagle is, IMHO, a weekend fling, the 700 is marriage material.

                            I'd prefer something that has the ability to reach out and touch other people from a distance. With that said, go with the Remington 700.
