Bushnell 1x28 multi retical red dot. a Simmons prohunter 2x6x32 handgun scope . not to bad . for now it will do . i got a bec lighted retical compact 3x9x42 with 100 to 500 yd turret bdc cross hairs . so far i have 1334.00 in it . but i figured i have 3 guns so when you look at it that way its not that bad .   [try explaining that to my ol lady]  good luck . i also would like to get a 15 in. 22 mag and a 12 in. 44 maybe next year .

 You got it, that's how it all starts. When you get to the point where you still want more collectibles and have nothing to spend-start trading! lol!
    It's a wonderful hobby, have you found the Cast Bullet Association and the other bullet casters for TCs?

Welcome to the best sport yet!

I am right there with you my friend. I wanted an Encore pistol real bad. I found a slightly used one in 223 blue with the sights still on it, rubber grips and ready to shoot. Next I found a slightly used 4X pistol scope at a little gun show, got a great deal on it too. While waiting for the gun to arrive I got hurt. My left shoulder is painful and slow to heal. I am supposed to go on an elk hunt soon so I found a nice 15 inch Encore barrel in 308 with a scope base on it. Now that is on the way. I got a deal on 600 once fired 223 brass and 10 boxes of once fired 308 brass. Next I found this site and got a deal on a holster to carry the Encore. After some research, I went to Midway and bought a 2x7 pistol scope and 250 V max 50 grain boat tail bullets. I scored 100 Nolser ballistic tip 150's for the 308. Now I can't wait for everything to arrive so I can test fire some of my loads and sight in for the hunt.
Next summer I will probably buy a thumb hole stock and a rifle barrel or two and maybe even a shotgun barrel. OK, I am addicted but what fun. As you can see, my outfit is starting to come together too.
Thanks for sharing. Nice to see someone else having some fun!

lastchance glad to hear your shoulder is healing i  had shoulder surgery day after fathersday on my right shoulder and of course I'm right handed  so i got rid of all but one handie gun and started to set up a handgun if you can get a thumbhole get the flextech it dose cut the recoil alot i put it on the frame got the 243 out put a scope on it went to the range with my buddy he shot it first so i could judge the way it recoiled didn't look to bad so i put my fingers behind the limbsaver butpad could hardly feel it so i sat down and shot it boy it hardly hit my shoulder so i would recomend the flextech thumbhole even though the 243 has little recoil to start with it has almost none now . the 223 is a fun little gun hope to get a turkey this fall with it maybe some crows i think ill have to practice alot for the crows but it will be fun learning the in and outs of this setup let me know how bad the 308 kicks i was thinking of getting one but the 308 in a pistol wow thats got to be a handfull of recoil not sure i can hold it but willing to try it good luck thanks for sharing

hunterpistol ive already been thinking i have a old rem 1100 LW thats got dust on it maybe it will go on the trading block soon who knows theres the handie with dust on it also but i think its sold to a buddy at camp if it is theres the bushnell 3200 elite 3x9x40 for the 243 its all in the air stinks like addiction lol
