If I can find one, a Ruger 7.5 inch barreled 327 Fed Mag.

Kevin Rohrer · January 1, 2021, 06:13 PM

I won't get one. But all my 1911s past, present, and future are in God's Caliber (.45ACP).

44caliberkid · January 1, 2021, 06:29 PM

Going to buy some more Vista Outdoors stock. Actually, there is a six inch barreled Chiappa Rhino, 357, OD green Cerokote finish, on gunbroker that trips my trigger, but we need the $2000 dollar check to make that happen.

Cosmodragoon · January 1, 2021, 07:34 PM

I can't find a lot of things I want in the current market so I'm thinking holsters, optics, etc.

Maybe, if you’re really lucky you can one day take the next step up to .44 Mag.

Mine will go into saving. I had the insight to stock up on ammo a years ago and I feel that same insight is to hold on to as much cash as I can get. The Future is not looking very rosy right now. Things can go south real quick.
Besides, do not need any more Paper weights.

That said, I do have a Beretta semi auto Shotgun with a 28" barrel that I love dearly and will have it sent off to have the barrel cut down. It will go from a field gun to a Defense gun. (Thinking ahead) and I still invest in Buckshot even though I have a large stash. And I love BUCKSHOT!

Cosmodragoon · January 2, 2021, 12:41 AM

We'll save some. We'll take care of a few miscellaneous needs. Some of my share will support the hobby that brings us together on TFL. It'll directly "stimulate" good old fashioned American small businesses like Milt Sparks Holsters.

drive_sideways · January 2, 2021, 12:49 AM

My wife wants a new shotgun for waterfowl so that’s on the list... and she’s got her eye on a Weatherby Vanguard Camilla in 7mm08, so that’s also on the list. And I have my eye on a 1911. So may end up just getting all 3 lol

I've done a bit of cleanup work. This is not an opportunity to discuss politics, Congress or national fiscal policy.

The question was quite well focused, and this is a firearms forum.

shurshot · January 2, 2021, 10:02 AM

If I can find a nice gently used Remington BDL 552 or 572, for a reasonable price, I would be as happy as hunting dog in Autumn. In fact, would likely swap my AR-15 for the right one.

Pathfinder45 · January 2, 2021, 03:37 PM

I will send it right back to them on April 15th, and more besides. Still, I've been hoping to find a decent and affordable 2nd-hand Blackhawk 45 with a 7-1/2" barrel. But in the current climate, it's looking unlikely.

Storing reserve ammo began Years ago - to avoid the “Sky Is Falling” Tears prevalent these days.

The mortgage will benefit from the unneeded money.

Logs · January 2, 2021, 04:56 PM

I'm buying Remington Arms Stock. I hear it's dirt cheap now.

Tony Z · January 2, 2021, 05:11 PM

No check for me, but I have a hankering for something like a side by side!

Colorado Redneck · January 3, 2021, 02:38 AM

Mine is going to the Food Bank. I have enough guns, and reloading supplies for a couple of years. I figure there are a lot of people that ain't doing well in this pandemic shut down. One of my nephews is a manager at a large grocery store. They don't have products on the shelf long enough to reach expiration so the food bank isn't getting the usual stuff. Just my personal decision and not a bit judgemental.

hemiram · January 3, 2021, 08:01 AM

Mine will probably just go into my savings, unless one of about 6 "holy grail" guns appears at a sane price. But if I had to pick a gun right now, it would be an S&W M&P15-22 Pistol, in 22LR, of course.

**Mike Irwin** · January 3, 2021, 08:37 AM

The amount of my "stimulus" won't even get me a box of 9mm at today's prices.

Willie Lowman · January 3, 2021, 10:09 AM

I am thinking about buying a S&W 686 as a birthday gift for a friend.

Mike38 · January 3, 2021, 08:46 PM

Mine is not a caliber, but it is a gun part. I have a Benelli MP95 target pistol, and the upgrade to the better quality Benelli MP90 is a trigger group and a grip. I already have the grip, and the better trigger group is $500. So that's what I'm getting.

jimbob86 · January 3, 2021, 08:53 PM

Might get an electronic predator call .... or maybe an ATN night vision scope ...... fur market might pick up again someday....

Shadow9mm · January 4, 2021, 02:35 PM

Upgrading my reloading equipment, and stocking up on supplies to weather the shortage. Snagged primers, powder and bullets for 223, 9mm, 30-06 enough to keep me going for the next year or 2 (or until I can find more supplies) if I ration my range time.

Nathan · January 5, 2021, 12:59 AM

Bighorn Origin Long Action ......caliber undecided....thinking 6.5 Weatherby RPM or 6.5x280AI or....

Kirrich · January 5, 2021, 01:59 AM

Stimulus check to help pay off a credit card. IRA withdrawl to pay off the rest. No firearms this year, but possibly some extra magazines for my Ruger Gunsite Scout .308 and my H&K P30L .40 cal. Perhaps a few other peripherals. I am lucky as I get get away from others and go to the desert to go shootin'.
Good shootin' to ya.

Geezerbiker · January 5, 2021, 05:05 PM

I used mine to pay bills but some other guys have used theirs to buy parts from my motorcycle business so I might just have the rest of the money soon to pay off the gunsmithing bill on Ruger 77/22 Hornet rebarrel.

For what this cost, it had better shoot dime sized groups or I'm going to be PO'ed...
