    Default Rifle or ATV?

    I have one guy trying to trade me his Kawasaki Bayou 220. Another is trying to trade me an RRA NM A4 with a Nikon 2.5-10x42 BDC scope, a Harris bipod, a Magpul ACS, and some kind of free float rail that I don't recognize. It is the lower rifle in the pic.
    Wife wants the ATV, I want the rifle. The trade is for my 2wd 1978 Ford F250 in better than average condition (only selling cause its 2wd).
    Suggestions?

    While I loves me a nice ATV, you can't typically see what sort of abuse it's been subjected to through the years. The same can not be said so much for the rifle - it's usually pretty easy to see exactly what condition it's in.

    Besides, it's easier to haul a rifle out to the woods than it is an ATV.

    Kind of a dumb question on a gun board.

    I'd take the rifle over the ATV. Maybe if it was a 450 or larger but not for a 220.

    Leaning towards the rifle. Its worth more than the ATV and I'd probably end up selling it, and the rifle is easier to sell I think.

    firearms don't lose their value.
    ATV's fall like a stone.

    Ain't much chance of ATV's being banned.

    you can always buy a ATV

    Rifle. The at 200cc the quad is underpowered and you would likely become unhappy with it.
