How about an unrelated gun question? Hate to start a thread for just a question.

I'm planning to join a high power team this spring.

Anyone have input on the rifle to buy?

Like to keep it under a thousand, if possible. The boss has put my wallet on a leash. So I'm going to have to squirrel away some cash and probably trade in something.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

As a proud lifetime member of the gun of the month club I can honestly state that +P ammo is more risk to the shooter than the agressor. Just using CorBon flavored ammo I broke a SIG 220 45ACP and I cracked a frame on one of my 1911A1's.

I don't use +P in any of my handguns per that period of experimenting with +P ammo ......I use a 45 or a 44 special for personal defense and rely on the big bore at 750 to 900 fps CCI Gold Dot Hollowpoints for all my CHL rigs.

Three of my coworkers over the years had shootings involving the 44 and 45 and all were GDHP bullets. One side to the story resulted........theirs !
