I have been looking at getting a rifle. Something with a little knockdown power. Something that could take down some food, or possibly take down a home intruder. I have been wanting a lever action 30-30. My friend linked me to this little beast and I am absolutely smitten. I’m sure it’ll need a lot of polishing of the internals so it’s smooth and not crappy to cycle, but that’s pretty simple.

Once there is one available for purchase at a fair price, I’m on it like an Ethiopian on a cheeseburger.

Real or photoshop?

Where's the red dot?

Needs an ACOG.

For me, possibly the Ruger PC Charger or a 9mm AR pistol.

Everything needs an ACOG. Even the guns you listed.

I seent that tacticool Henry .357 with a loading gate or the Marlin Dark .357 in the Rifle Room. I'ma find me one dem.

Beancooker...I’ve always felt that would be at home in Firefly ...but I wouldn’t kick outta bed for eating crackers if needed

If they could make one in 9mm, I’d be all over it. With wood stock/forend though. I’m sure they could figure it out, but until they do i guess I’ll have to settle for my .45-70.

CMMG if you have AR lower

I know. It’s like so dorky and weird, I just love it. Like part of me hates it, but the other 90% if me is like “hell yeah”.

PCC, preferably SBR.

This is my next purchase:

Desertech MDR by Ex Pat, on Flickr

One of these, unfortunately in non-auto form...

My Old .30-30 circa 1958 has been a faithful companion. it was proudly made by Winchester in America. It has rode with me over the Rockies and across the dry deserts for many years. I never feel right in the saddle if it is not against my right knee. Yes like me it shows wear.

I'm thinking about scratching the bullpup itch with an RDB.

I don't need another 5.56 in any fashion, but that thing looks kinda fun, is lefty friendly, and if I don't like it I can sell it for not much loss.

You could always pair that Mossberg up with a tacticool double barrel, just sayin'...

I think I am going to buy a basic, mil-spec stainless Springfield Armory 1911A1.

I also want a single shot shotgun. I've never owned one and always wanted one. I let Harrington Richardson go out of business before satisfying this need. Now makers are few and far between. But I looked at a Savage Stevens 301 turkey, bottom-land camo'd, in 20 gauge at a recent gun show and was impressed. Looks like a quality gun and for a little over $100 it looks like a good deal. I think I'll get a 20 gauge or maybe a .410 to carry in my jon boat. Just because.

fug·ly
/ˈfəɡli/
adjective - INFORMAL

1) very ugly or unattractive, fuckin' ugly.
"I told him we all thought he was fugly"

2) 464 SPX - Centerfire Lever-Action Rifle
"I want to buy a fugly rifle."

Only kidding. Practical is sometimes ugly. But practical. And .30-30 and lever actions are always a good choice. You'd be well armed with this.

Admittedly, I'd light-weighted my firearms to the bare minimum. And now I'm lighter than I prefer. So...

A high(er) quality .22lr rifle with very good sights dialed-in as best possible in the 50 yard range.

A 9mm carbine of some sort set up very well. I've not decided on a foldable brace style pistol or a Ruger PC9 style takedown. Maybe both.

Another Glock pistol in 9mm. Maybe two.

and... Many many more Glock mags and "Moar" cases of ammo.

It takes some getting used to.
