I've been putting in a lot of overtime, and wife has given me the green light to get one or two more firearms.
What I already have.
Glock 26
Remington 870 Police 12ga
Ruger Mini14 stainless/synthetic, cut barrel 16 1/2", Leupold gold ring 2x7 (fairly accurate for a Mini)
Oh yah, Savage MarkII 22lr stock iron sights.
Looking to add a AR22, a DPMS, another Glock, Saiga 12.
For AR22 I'm looking at the SIG, S&W M+P 15-22, Ruger SR22.
Local shop today had 1 Smith 15-22 $550, 1 Ruger SR22 $480, and 1 Ruger 10/22 with folding stock $380.
Buddy of mine has Smith and loves it. I've not seen the SIG. I looked at the Smith and Ruger and the Ruger felt well made, but the forums are questionable on it. Some love it, some hate it. The Smith was much lighter and the forums everyone loves them. I'd like to also be able to shoot SuperMax through them once in a while too. Recommendation?
Local Shop said better to order a DPMS 223, and get the .22 upper.
Local shop just sold a DPMS Bull .308 and can get others.
I'm not sure what caliber/model DPMS I really want.
Local shop also had a Saiga 12 for $550 and plenty of 10round mags for $40.
I'm really leaning toward getting the Saiga first.
They also had many different new Glocks in .40 for $525-575...
Thinking of the 22 or 23 and then getting a 9mm conversion barrel then later a .22lr conversion.
Anyone shoot SuperMax through a AA .22lr conversion?
I only have about $1200 right now to spend. probably another $1200 in a few months.
I'm at a loss what I should get first. I'm leaning toward the Saiga and a glock.
My kids 11 and 13 are starting to shoot with me and are still a little intimidated by the mini 'Crack', hence looking at the AR22s.
Any input/experiences much appreciated.
Scott
