maybe I should, it was a 1,000 dollars. Really I want a ruger mark 3, some sort of bolt action .22, a .22 revolver and a 870.

Tell him you feel bad because you beat him at tennis and you will give him his money back ONLY if he buys certain guns with the money. Later on he gives you the guns as gifts.

You paying for guns he buys at a dealer is a bad idea, likely just to get you kicked out of the store.

don't settle for a 22/45....

I think I'd go for the pistol and a 10/22 while I was at it. You'll love both, and the 10/22 can be dressed up... he can do this for you as you beat him worse and worse.

Here's my two:

I took the scope off the MkIII, it's much more fun to shoot with the Iron sights. Disregard the cigar, they are bad for you at your age. Besides that, you can buy 2 or 3 boxes of 22lr ammo for what one of those Ashton cigars cost.
