Mrs Cliff says I can order one of the above up to $2000. Optics can be included. I'm lusting after a 12 to 14 in barrel pistol in 223/5.56. I already have a pistol in .300 blackout. I already have 2 rifles in 223/5.56. recommendations? I love my wife!!

CZ Bren 805 Pistol. $1,199. Plenty of money left over to brace it and add quality optics. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/743778968 IDPA ESP SS | |||

buy an S1 so that the moment you buy it they'll release the S2. (someone's gotta take one for the team)  ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

A bit shorter than you were looking at 11.5" but I've really loved my DDM4V7s pistol.  ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

M1A/M14. They are soooooooo much fun, and you already have .223/.300BO covered. Everyone wants to shoot them at the range, and it's become one of my favorite rifles in the brief time I've owned it. Most who shoot it comment something to the tune of "damnit, now I have to go get one of those."

Cliff which really lights your fire more? Shooting rifle or shooting pistol? Answer will determine what I recommend. Congrats on your retirement.  | |||

IndianaBoy, I love shooting handguns, but rifle shooting lights my fire & makes me smile like I've done lost my mind. Gustofer, I was looking at the .458 SOCOM's at CMMG a few weeks ago. Giving that some serious thought. PorterN, that DD you have is a seriously sexy beast. Appreciate all the recommendations and best wishes. I could build my own of course, but the wife says just pick one out and it's mine. Wonder if I could sweet talk some new optics in as well..

JP Rifles: You COULD scratch your 14.5 itch with a pinned and welded comp. I recommend an 18" with rifle gas. Light contour barrel. Get the comp blended to the barrel (it is an option in their barrel builder). Low mass carrier. low mass buffer (silent captive spring is a nice addition but not a necessity) Adjustable gas. You won't regret it. Under the rifle builder tab, look for: JP-15™ | Forged Precision Rifle | |||

What sort of distances do you have access to? Building would certainly open up some flexibility regarding cost. JP rifles are awesome but IMHO you can utilize some of their parts and get most of the performance at a fraction of the price. | |||

Not Today |
Maybe a rifle and a suppressor? ________________________ Hi,I'm Buck Melonoma,Moley Russels' wart. | |||

M1 Carbine, or Garand if you don't already have them. And ammo. | |||

Congrats on retiring. That would be a difficult decision. I know you were talking about a .223/5.56,but just to throw this out there and if it were me, maybe a HK MK23 or PS90 or a Garand of some sort? I kind of like the odd/exotic stuff,so to speak. | |||

This is my suggestion as well. It's not anything like you mentioned, Cliff, but if you love shooting rifles, man, there's nobody I've let shoot one of mine who wasn't grinning from ear to ear once they set it back down on the bench. Rifle or carbine, you can't go wrong with a nice M1. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I like the big boys as well...either an M1A or a Garand...the pride of ownership alone is well worth it... They don't make 'em like they used to...except they do... OT - do you frequent Virginia Arms, Cliff? | |||
