If you had no guns and only $5000 to spend however you want, which gun/guns would you buy?

$5000 can only be spent on firearms. Any combination up to $5000

So what would you buy?

1) Yugo M92 Krink    (with 16" barrel that I'll have to install later so it wont be as cool)
2) SVD Dragunov     (sorry AKfortyseven I had to choose that too cuz it's awesome)

They both will be gold and really cheap cuz the guy I got it from is no longer alive... 8)

I just gotta figure out how to get it pass the guards..... ;)

1. S&W Model 686
2. Sig P220
3. reliable .22 semi-auto such as the Colt Woodsman that I already have. A Ruger MK II/III or 22/45 would be OK too.
4. BRNO Mod 1 or CZ 452 .22 bolt action rifle
5. bolt action .308 Win. with a good scope, preferably stainless/synthetic. The Tikka T3 Lite Stainless would do nicely.
6. Arsenal SGL21 AK-47 plum with NATO-length buttstock

I forgot to include a shotgun. Doesn't need to be fancy, a Mossberg would be fine.

I'll go with Boomah's philosphy of multiples of the same gun on this one, but inexpensive AKs preferred.

A day or two later, having satisfied the "guns only" restriction of the OP, I might sell off some of them to purchase ammo for them.   ;D

Welcome aboard, Boomah!

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

Arsenal sgl21
Rem 870
Noveske rogue hunter
Glock 19
Glock 21
Glock 30
Ruger 10/22
Ruger super redhawk Alaskan in 454

Pretty sure that's within the $5000 budget.

Awesome list guys!  This got me to thinking of my list.  Mine would be as follows:

1) Mossberg 500 12ga ($300)
    - As the saying went, if there was only one gun, it would be a shotgun.

2) Glock 17 9mm ($500)
    - Sidearm. I am partial to the Springfield XD9 but chose this because of choice #3.

3) Keltec Sub 2000 9mm ($400)
    - Nice foldable carbine that shares magazines and ammo with the Glock.

4) Ruger 10/22 ($300)
    - Do it all rifle with a small bullet.

5) Ruger Gunsite Scout .308 Rifle ($1000)
    or Beretta Tikka T3 Scout CTR .308 Rifle ($1000)
    - Do it all rifle with a large bullet.

Since the total only adds up to $2500, I would get 2 of each item on my list.  Alternatively, I would get an accurate AK-47 7.62x39 or a reliable piston AR15 5.56 for $2500.
