Mix of guns to purchase

I'm sure (I hope) to get a range of responses to this thread.

I've owned hand guns and long guns of all types. Handling them is not an issue.

Unfortunately the ones I've had were lost in a boating accident.

I'm looking to replace the ones I had with three or four that compliment each other.

[VeniVidiVici]

My idea is a fairly decent sniper rifle, an AK pistol for close-in bullets on target and a couple handguns, either revolver or auto for carry. There are two of us and the other person is not a gun person.

I'm sure I'll get a wide-variety of replies but any and all are welcome :)

Uh oh...a questions about guns thread. Boy are you in for it. Lol!

Look into the Smith and Wesson EZ. Comes in 9mm and .380

First, what is your intended use. “Sniper” rifle to me means more than just the rifle. It’s a system that requires a good bit of hands-on (range time) to be able to do what you want.

An AR-15 with a LPVO will do what 99% of homeowners need to well past any range that could be legally justifiable.

Biggest problem right now is getting enough ammo to develop competence with any weapon system other than 12 ga shotgun, though buckshot seems pretty hard to find.

LOL I can not even tell what you are asking or posting about. What kind of responses are you hoping for?

Looking for something with 500M accuracy. Just can't get into the 5.52. Maybe .308.

I DO have a shotgun, which is why I probably forgot about it :)

Theoretically of course, I would think defining threat situations as short range in public, short range at home, medium range, long range.

Pistol for concealed carry.

12 ga shotgun for short range at home

AR-15 for medium range

.308 for long range

Pistol is also the backup for the long guns if that ever becomes necessary.

Specific models would be dealer choice.

I have a lot of pistols but I think if I were to be limited to one it would be .410 Revolver. It fires all of .410 ammo plus .45 Colt. Good for snakes, most small game, most 4 legged vermin and all 2 legged vermin.

It's pretty simple: If you could only buy four or five weapons, what would you get? And I'm not talking about collecting.,

I think you should concentrate on the quality of boats you are buying.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Good luck finding anything that you actually want at the retailer.
Mostly sold out everywhere.

LOL! That's next on the list. Perhaps a yacht where I wouldn't have to worry about the mix of guns to buy ;)

Firearms are being made out of unobtainium these days.

LOL! They story of my life!

Any decent .308 bolt action with adecentscope will get you to 500. Savage has guns that are plenty accurate enough, though they sometimes have issueswhen run hard. Still takes some ammo and range time to be confident, though.

[CharleysPride]

Phase Plasma Rifle in 30-Watt Range?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sniper rifle: Savage 110 APEX PREDATOR in 6.5 Creedmore or .308.
But if you ever think you might be in a TEOTWAWKI situation, get a .30-06 rifle. Everyone carries ammo for a .30-06

AK variant or AR-15 with a 16” barrel

Ruger LC-9 or Smith and Wesson M&P Shield

Decide you caliber.

9mm handgun Canik TP9SF Elite One $350
this caliber gives you more choices of next: pistol caliber carbine.

Why a PCC? Because of the stability of the weapon for home defense up to 50 yards. It allows you to have a steady and long sight picture and more control if you don’t hit the range regularly. (You still have to practice with all your weapons but life is busy.) The pistol for me is a self defense weapon only. I would lead with the PCC: Striborg SP9A1- SB9 $820

Shotgun.
I’m partial to magazine fed. My choice is the Panzer Arms BP-12 $520. I like the bullpup. Personally, I don’t choose a shotgun for a primary because of the possibility of needing a tight shot. Outside in the driveway or shop? Yea, a shotgun is primary.

I chose all of these for home defense. All work well in rooms or stairways.

Rifles? Not a chance I’m stepping in that pool. There are so many. I suggest you decide caliber, magazine reliability, magazine availability and cost, etc.

Just a thought. I actually prefer a .45 caliber, but they cost too much to buy for me.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Ok. No. 1: AR-15, with red dot. No. 2: Glock 19 No. 3: another one of either, or both, for your partner. The rest, mags and ammo.
