What gun are you shopping for this year?

[icefisherman]

After lot of research, asking and reading on the 12 gauge combos I narrowed it down to the 870 Express vs. Mossberg 535 combo.
Will probably go with the 535 mainly because of the up to 3 1/2" shells if/when I need to use them and also some reports I've read about rust problems with the 870.

Finding a good deal on a new 535 proved to be impossible mission though. I've been checking everywhere...not a single good deal...even for Boxing day...so if someone knows where I can buy a new 535 combo for less than $600 out the door let me know please.

Cheers,
Ice Fisherman

I'm looking for a Mossberg 500.. Don't really Care if its a combo.. As long as it has threads I'll be happy.. I'll settle for a Remington if $$ comes in the way. Don't like the safety on the remington.. As much as the Mossberg.

I'm hoping to buy another SxS or an O/U this year. I'd like a Savage Mark II as well but I'm not looking hard for one.

Get the 10/22 it is a great gun, and get the 25 rd mags...

I'd agree with the 10/22 part but be cautious with the 25 round magazines. I returned two of the three I bought because they would jam up. Instead, I bought four of the 10 round OEM magazines from Brownell's and have been happy as a clam with those. I don't even use the one 25 round magazine or the speed loader I bought.

Spray a little Remington Dry Lube in them and see the difference.

My shopping is done....17 HMR and I dressed her up a bit with a Harris bipod (love it), Burris Zee rings and at 4x12x40 Bushnell Trophy XLT and a pile of ammo.

This is my first 17 rimfire and I was tired of waiting for the 17WSM to make it to Canada and by the sounds of it the new Savage 17 WSM BMag has had some problems anyways. Thanks Lebaron...30 year customer and I have never been disappointed!




H and R single shot with bull barrel...I heard they may be discontinued so I had to have one plus it can be reamed and converted to 17 WSM easily.

I did my shopping for the year already. Local shop had a no tax sale that ran the week before Xmas til the end of Dec. Picked up a new Savage 17HMR the first week, and ended up going back and getting a new Weatherby SA-08 the next week. Figure I better slow down for a bit.

Just got my first gun this November, went with the Remington Versa Max and it had been an awesome shot gun for me. This year i am looking at getting either a 223 or a 243 for coyote hunting. I like the Savage Axis but also looking at the Remington 770.

Winchester 1885 in .22 . best i can guess is I will be waiting till may or june before they get up this way. Man I love the look of the low wall.

Axis, hands down. The 770s are crap.

Hmmmm....got too dang many guns. I need to divest myself of a few first. Then I may get a nice .300 H&H Model 70 or a Model 1886 .33 Winchester. Or a Winchester or Marlin in .38-55.
