For $1,000, what firearm would you buy?

[mc5aw]

Hypothetically, if you had an extra $1k to spend on a new or used firearm, what would it be? $1k is the max spending limit, with a downside of $50 +/-, meaning no purchasing two $500 guns, or one for $800 and pocketing the change. There's several items on my wish list in the $1k price range, so I'd drop the $ on either a NIB Colt New Agent in .45 ACP or Cimarron Schofield in .45 LC. Alternately, I'd go with another used 696 or 624 snub. I'd love to find a 3" 625, but asking prices have gotten significantly higher from what I've seen.

You've got your hypothetical $s ... what would you buy?

I have always wanted another Colt Combat Elite or another BHP Practical.

[nachogrande]

1,000 $ gun

Missed getting a used one for 500$ by about 1 minute. an Anschutz 22 lr target rifle. the seller came home 10 min early, I was there 5 min before he was supposed to be and the earlier bird got there and the gun 1 minute before me. so for me an Anschutz 22 with open sights.

A pair of 2 inch model 15's. I have 2 pr of stags to go on them. If I had them all put together, I'll howl at the moon.

The best early-production (first 20 years or so) Winchester 1892 or 1894 I could find for the money. Caliber wouldn't necessarily matter much, but I'd lean toward .25-20 or .32-20 for the 1892 and .25-35 for the 1894.

 

[timn8er]

Just about any NIB TSW variant, or Shorty 45, 40...

 

[Rick_A]

Probably a Savage Long Range Hunter 338LM...but then I'd need $1500 in accessories to make it mine.

Either a 5" Model 27 or a Government Model .45.

I am bored with all of the "modern classics". About the only thing that I have seen of late that gets my juices going is the new SiG 227.

 

[shouldazagged]

A nice 696. Lusted for one for a long time.

 

[Black_Sheep]

If I could find one for a grand, 3" Model 625...

If I had to spend it all on one gun, probably a BHP. Otherwise, a CZ75 and some flavor of long gun.

As a CZ 75b owner, it's well worth it.

 

[rbmac52]

Gimme a Model 24-3 or 624 with a 4-inch barrel.

 

[pawncop]

Luger shooter grade but not abused.

 

[sqhead]

i'd buy a 651 ,2 in.,22 mag revolver............631 being a close second.

Nothin'. Most of what I'm lusting after is quite a bit on the high side of a grand. Like a 6" K32, for example. I'd like to have one to go with my K22 and my K38, but not at the prices I've seen.
