June 9, 201016 yr (In no particular order) - Scope / barrel / stock for my stock 10/22 - Remington 700 - 22lr pistol (to get the gf into shooting) - Some sort of AR - Remington 870 (or some kind shotgun to get into clays+ home defense) I would like all of the above but am trying to decide on my next one. I should probably work on my 10/22 before I move up (scope etc.) After that though I would like to get into long range shooting, clays, and would like to get the gf into pistol shooting (my double stack USP .45 full size is too big for her). I would love an AR for the cool / fun factor as well. Help!
June 9, 201016 yr Get a shotgun. You can get a decent Mossberg or Remington for $200-$300 used or on sale and you won't regret it after you shoot this Sunday with us
June 9, 201016 yr Author Get a shotgun. You can get a decent Mossberg or Remington for $200-$300 used or on sale and you won't regret it after you shoot this Sunday with us I have to go to a high school graduation party for my girlfriends niece this sunday :oops: ..... trust me, I would rather be shooting!
June 9, 201016 yr I have a mossberg 500, 28 in VR with removable mod choke I am going to be selling. I would suggets getting the 22 for the GF if she is interested in it. Depending on how long you have been together and plan on staying together. It is nice to have a GF or Wife shoot with you. Common interests make for a healthy relationship.
June 9, 201016 yr You should check out the Mossberg 590 special purpose, 20" barrel, ghost ring sights, no heat shield. Its a nice piece!

There will be more but you'll find that shooting shotguns at reactive targets is fun. Just like plinking at steel targets makes a nice DING!. It's more fun than shooting holes in paper.
June 9, 201016 yr Or go to a gunshow or visit one of our vendors and pick up a few vintage aged rifles. Seriously, would you rather have 1 fancy AR or 10 tried and tested Mosin Nagants? :mrgreen:
June 9, 201016 yr I agree with Tim. The .22 for your SO at the top of the list, just so you can share the experience at the range, and so you have another common interest. Depending on your preferences, you may want to think about 2 shotguns. A dedicated HD gun, with all the bells and whistles, and a separate field gun for clay sports. Not for any snob appeal or anything like that, but you may find that a short barrel HD gun, with lights and/or optics hanging off it won't be an ideal tool for busting clays out around 40 yards away and moving at 40 mph. Fine for banging around at the shotgun range at Cherry Ridge, but probably not great on a regulation clay field.

It comes with a short barrel and pistol grip for the home, and a long barrel for the field. Tough to beat for $300. There are certainly fancier guns out there, but I don't know if any are more reliable. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/adva ... st%5B0%5D=
June 9, 201016 yr 1 Fancy AR :twisted: +1 +2 i only have 2 hands.. so don't really need 10 guns.. lol
June 9, 201016 yr 1 Fancy AR :twisted: +1 +2 i only have 2 hands.. so don't really need 10 guns.. lol but when the zombies come.....
June 9, 201016 yr +1 +2 i only have 2 hands.. so don't really need 10 guns.. lol but when the zombies come..... I'll still hopefully only have 2 arms.. lol
June 9, 201016 yr i only have 2 hands.. so don't really need 10 guns.. lol but when the zombies come..... Would rather have 10 15 round magazines handy than 10 milsurp rifles.
June 10, 201016 yr My vote is for the .22 pistol - it'll give you the opportunity to use 3 of the 5 ranges at CR which in my mind equals more varied shooting which will keep you AND the GF interested.
June 10, 201016 yr My vote is for the .22 pistol - it'll give you the opportunity to use 3 of the 5 ranges at CR which in my mind equals more varied shooting which will keep you AND the GF interested. I agree fully, the more variety of shooting types that she can be involved in the better to keep her interest. Shooting holes in paper can start to get boring, and the reactive targets on the silo range are a fun way to change thing up. Go for the .22. You guys will have fun. Not sure though what the 3rd range at C.R. is that will allow .22 pistol though
June 10, 201016 yr Well, I meant they could use the rifle, pistol, and silo range.. not necessarily with all the guns at the same time tho... altho I guess I didn't make that clear
June 11, 201016 yr Its faster to grab another fully loaded gun than to reload an empty one Ill take that bet!
June 11, 201016 yr idk... if you had 10 rifles lined up on a table, you think you can reload one faster then you can pick each up and chuck it when its spent? I can see like 2-4, but you gotta hold 10 mags! HAH! Not to mention, after running 10 mags through a gun its gonna start gettin hotter than a mofo. I guess it doesn't matter really... I doubt any of us will ever NEED to unload 10 mags, ever...
June 11, 201016 yr Well if it were a free mans state Id only have to hold 1 mag which would give me 60 rounds to 10 mosin's 50 . In Jersey id have to hold 3 which would give me the same 10 rounds more, so you'd need two more mosins LOL.
June 15, 201016 yr OK heres one with the pistol. I didnt feel like putting on my pistol belt so the mag holder was a bit floppy so it slowed me up just a bit. Also keep in mind I have no mag well on this 1911. 2 rounds on each target, slide lock reload each time, 45 ACP.

I don't know what you have as far as "guns", but if my wife was never introduced to the wonderful world of firearms I would only have one gun....Nuff' said!
