what to get?

i got about 500 to spend on a birthday gift to my self. but not sure what to get. im thinking either a revolver or bolt action rifle probably gona be used too. i own a few but i dont know too much about firearms as far as brands and what caliber size to get. what would you buy with 500 bucks?

Hooker & blow

this isn't GD.

OP, go to a few gunshops in your area and handle a few guns, and see what feels good.

$500???

I'd throw in a little more and pick up a new Remington 700 .308 AAC-SD.

Do you have an AK? If you are looking to get into that game you could go with a WASR-10 for starters.

22 sparrow.

Ammo

depends on what you already have...

ya i have an ak that was my last 500 dollar buy. i have that and old lever action a shot gun and a hand gun. thats why i was thinking either bolt action something for hunting or a revolver because ive never owned one and only shot a few.

those look pretty cool. is 308 expensive to shoot?

Revolvers are always fun to shoot. Look at S&W .357 or .44 mag. I like the S&W because they usually have good triggers. The .357 is probably more fun and affordable to shoot but you can hunt with the .44. Used revolvers can be a good way to go, they're fairly simple to evaluate in terms of condition.

I think your $500 budget is a bit low for a bolt rifle. By the time you get decent optics you'll be way over budget unless you somehow find a good deal. I don't know too many people willing to part with a bolt gun that's a shooter. But they're always excited to unload a problem child...

That's my thinking.

Ammo it won't be getting any cheaper.
