What gun would you choose?

Question

If you had 700$ what gun would you buy? * Note you can only pice from rifles and shot guns..no pistols...: )

Answer 1

This all depends on what you want to hunt. $700.00 isn't going to get you a very good set up as far as rifle and scope. It sounds like your new at this? I always said everyone should own shot gun. With $700.00 you could buy a Mossburg 500 with interchangeable chocks.and also buy a slug barrel for it. This would give you the option to rabbit, bird and small game hunt and also hunt almost any big game by changing the barrel to your rifled slug barrel. Now days with the new technology a slug out of a slug barrel will shoot well at 150 to 200 yards. $700.00 will buy a decent rifle and $700.00 will buy a decent scope this equals ls $1400.00. If you buy a rifle without a scope you will not be any more accurate then you will be with a shot gun slug.And you can only hunt big game. I would buy the shotgun.

Answer 2

First---What do you hunt for the most? Small game or Large game?
Second---$700 is a lot---you may can pick up a shot gun and a rifle if you look for deals.....
Now if you are only big game hunting---say in North America then I would choose the 30-06 or larger cal, maybe the 300 Win mag---these calibers are good all around big game rifles for white tail deer to moose. If you will be hunting Safari then these will work on small african game but not the large game--say cape buffalo---you would need the 460 or 500 nitro or some other big game rifle....

Hope this helps

Answer 3

I would get a shot gun (remington 870). It's a great all round gun for shotting turkey, deer, mouse or bear (with in 1 - 40 yards)
But if you are into long range shoting (100 - 300 Yards) for big game get the Remington 700, 270 calibar
OR
If you want a rifle for small game Savage 17 HMR, smaller then a 22, but better

Answer 4

Personally, I love the Winchester model 70's. But I would go with the Remington model 700. They are still the most popular, most durable, and highest quality rifles bought on the market today. Get a 30-06 or 7mm Rem. Mag.

Answer 5

I may go a little over budget on my next, and I'm torn between a CZ rifle in either 416 or 404, or one of several little 28-bore side-by-sides. Right now I'm still kicking myself for not buying a 1952 Mannlicher 30-06 or a Pattern 17 Enfield rebarelled to 333 OKH with pretty decent sporter wood.

Answer 6

Well, I already have every firearm I NEED, and quite a few extra, so I guess I'd go for something that I don't have but might be fun to try. Maybe a 1895 lever action? Winchester or Marlin. I know Marlin has one in .45 Colt, which could be kinda fun. I don't know that all of them are under $700, but I know some are, so I'd just find one that fit the price range.

Answer 7

I'd get two.

One Remington 870 Express - $300, birds, trap and defense.
SKS - with a Scope 7.62 x 39 around $200 (decent for whitetail)

then Ammo up!!
500 rounds of 7.62 x 39 ($90)
a couple of cases of 7-8 shot
and 100 rounds of 000 buck.

That is IF, you have cleared up the felony wreakage of your past other wise the question is a moot one.

Answer 8

A Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70, and a Rossi M-92 SRC in .44 RemMag. I'd buy both used so I could get both rifles for the $700.00.

Answer 9

.308 or .30/06 are each first-class offerings. The .270s are best offerings too, however the bullet creation would a little bit mild for elk and moose. I use the .three hundred Savage on deer and elk with remarkable outcome. The factor is to position the shot competently, and that involves fair variety. The .30/06 has much less balk than the .three hundred Win Magnum, however no longer very obvious. The .308 is really high-quality to shoot.

Answer 10

Well, that's not enough to buy the Browning over and under I've always wanted, but it is enough for a Remington 11-87

It's not enough for the Montana Sharps 45-70 I want either. I guess I'd settle for a Savage model 10 in .308, should have enough left over for a decent scope.
