Title: How would you spend $2000
Post by: Kingkeoni on March 07, 2012, 08:34:41 PM: So there was a very exciting discussion on the merits of a $2000 AR vs a $600 AR on this forum.
http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=2767.msg27564#msg27564 (http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=2767.msg27564#msg27564)

It got me thinking.

If you won a $2000 shopping spree at the LGS and the only parameters were that:
A) You had to buy a semi auto rifle
B) you could only buy one rifle.

How would you spend $2000?

Can't buy ammo, optics, magazines or anything else but one semi auto rifle.

[edit] The only thing I'd like to say is this choice is because of the one rifle limit. Otherwise, I would rather buy 2x $1000 rifles... one for me and another for the wifey. Double the firepower! :)

I'd just pay the difference :D

Post by: SpeedTek on March 07, 2012, 10:13:25 PM: Send me a check for $2000 and I will surprise you!

I think I would buy a 50BMG upper for the AR and a complete AR in 7.62x39. Thats still one gun?
of course got lots of room for accessories, scopes.....
Title: Re: How would you spend $2000
Post by: Kingkeoni on March 07, 2012, 11:03:20 PM: I would go with a HK MR556 and pay the difference.

Choice #2 would be the LWRC M6A2 SPR.
Title: Re: How would you spend $2000
Post by: Pit808 on March 07, 2012, 11:27:31 PM: If I wasn't me, I would buy the LNIB M1A Loaded walnut/stainless with sadlak bits, BAD wrench, and 15 CMI 20 rounders + S.A. 10 rounder for only $1700!!! in the classifieds.

Sorry, couldn't help it........ :wave:

But seriously, I would take a hard look at a PS90..........Damn you for giving me a taste KK, Damn you.......... ;D

Post by: astroboy on March 08, 2012, 04:32:20 AM: I might spend it on a Les Baer or a socom with the loaded package. I would rather spend it on a downpayment on a sako TRG. I know its not a semi but I can still dream.

Post by: drck1000 on March 08, 2012, 05:07:45 AM: I like the idea of the HK M556. But I think I'd get a LMT MWS or Noveske N6 and pay the difference.

If it were a $2000 max, then I'd probably get a Noveske N4 upper with an 18" SS barrel.
Title: Re: How would you spend $2000
Post by: Heavies on March 08, 2012, 05:47:55 AM: A good Bartlien barrel, a good action, solid stock, good gun smith.

Or Pit's SA M1A, and the extra cash for good match ammo... If only I had a spare $2000 bill. :(

Post by: kala201 on March 08, 2012, 06:47:04 AM: For me its a toss up between the La Rue Tactical OBR and the PWS MK216. I would pay the difference.

If you ever got around to shooting my SPR you wouldn't want the MR. MR is a brick, unless you spend the money, pay the difference and reprofile the barrel to lighten it up.

Post by: GZire on March 08, 2012, 10:12:51 AM: ^^^BTW if you want to shoot a brick of a piston gun, you can do that too. I've also got a LWRC upper with quite the fat and chubby barrel.

Post by: AWS-GTAW on March 08, 2012, 06:16:58 PM: I would never purchase a $600 AR. I would rather have a $600 ak. The lwrc line seems like a winner and OGC prices can't be beat. I think the op who made that $600 ar post was trying create some interests on cheapo ar's.

Post by: GZire on March 09, 2012, 09:30:02 AM: Maybe a KRISS.

Post by: DuckFat on March 10, 2012, 01:17:44 PM: FN SCAR, pay the diff.
Title: Re: How would you spend $2000
Post by: rswarrior1700 on March 12, 2012, 01:15:56 PM: A: Semi auto : TAVOR, SCAR 16/17, fs2000, ps90, RFB, SIG 556 XI, ACR, XCR, LWRC Operator depending what is on hand at the LGS.

B: As in bolt action rifles? no Just go into owning firearms so I rather not try to remeber all different type of manual of arms

Still, in my opinion, the best way to spend $2k on a gun.
