I have the opportunity to take in trade for an old vehicle I priced at $750 a few guns. I would be very much interested in your expert opinions as to which way I should go with this.
option 1 is: Mossberg 20ga, Mossberg 702 .22, Remington 1100 16ga, Remington 742 .243, and Marlin .22
option 2 is not sure but I'll retype the txt message here: 10.4 w Da ammo n new cases n slings n scopes - its worth $1650 plus...I wld trade 1 r da other or fix smn up w cash.
I think the 10.4 refers to the Vetterli but I'm not sure. If so, I'm more inclined to go with option 1 because they would be more useful. However, something I can turn into cash would be nice too.
help please?
Thanx. I think I'm late for premarital counselling so I better go. Will check back in a few.
lets see... $750 car for $1650 gun
do it
premarital counselling -> get your guns now because soon you’ll be buying plates, table clothes and silverware.
I would look into the price and availablity of ammo....guns one time purchase...however ammo is on going...and after the recent shortages and expense...I was happy that I had a Mossberg 410 pistol grip...had no problem ever finding ammo and it is still cheap. That is my number one plan for middle of the night response weapon...figuring...the sound of a shuck is an international one...and a person can’t tell the size of a gun by a shuck...
Just my 2 cents...ohh and I have many others rifles and hand guns....however ammo shortages were real and the prices got pricey....
Tell me about it. I won the office bracket for the final four, and still haven’t told my wife about the .30-.30 I bought with it.
If you take door #2: the Vetterli and then sell it, your new bride may have a say in where the money goes...no firearms to shoot.
“Please be nice as I have been here a few years commenting”
LOL! Like that’ll save ya!
If the guns are all in good working condition. (might need a gunsmith to look at them) I’d say you can’t go wrong.
Guns will be very useful as bargining tools (more ways than one) in the future.
Huge mistake!
The saleslady told my wife about my last purchase before I got a chance to get home. No matter how I tried to explain I was going to tell her that evening, I came out on the short end of the stick.
I still have both the rifle and the wife, so I guess I wasn’t too deep in it...
That’s a broad array of weapons you listed.
First, figure out where you live and what you want to do with the weapon.
You want to defend the house at 2 am?
You want to kill a critter at 200 yards?
You want to shoot old appliances in the gravel pit?
You want to shoot a dove or a pheasant?
You want to knock over King Kong with a head shot?
Define your purpose. Define the amount of power you need. Appraise your body and hand size.
Try some.
Then get a Ruger 10-22, a Winchester .270 with 3-9x scope, and a .38 Special.

Any opportunity to purchase long arms without paperwork should be siezed upon.
Option 1 gives you a good variety of guns. I’d take it.
Buy Arizona. Buy a Ruger.
There's a term for men like you:
"Still married".

Always choose the firearms. The old car will just get older, while the firearms will outlast you. Remember in the coming Obamanation, Paperless firearms can only be more valuble.

My brother sold a perfectly good M88 so he could buy a wedding ring. He had killed about 15 deer with that rifle and it took him a few years before he could find another gun that fit him as well as the M88. However, they are still married(40 years later)so I guess it was a good thing, although I cautioned him against it at the time!
Does he have reloading stuff for the Vetterli, cause if it is what I think it is, you’ll have to load your own.
Option #1 seems more practical, unless you’re into collecting.
I'll let you in on the secret to buying guns after marriage:
1: Get yourself an empty hard plastic gun case.
2: Take hold of the case and go kiss your wife good bye. Tell her you're going to go sell this old gun you've had forever. (Hold up the case for dramatic effect.)
3: Go buy a gun.
4: Come home with the gun and do either of the following: Tell her they didn't want to buy it so you kept it (hold up the gun). OR Tell her you traded your gun for this one even up; it didn't cost a dime.
I am 100% certain that I would not even consider dealing with someone writing that kind of gibberish. Be careful out there!
