Holy Hell. $4k for a long range rifle straight out of the box? That must be one hell of a stock rifle.

That bad boy is about as stock as Jeff Gordon's racing stock car. That there is the top of the heap for long range bolt action rifles. You can get similar, but not better.
I can't believe I forgot a couple I've been lusting over. Who knows, if I can sell my house in the Springs in 2010, I can pay off a bunch of bills and have enough left over for:
Sig SG 556
US M1 Garand (new manufacture with stainless Krieger barrel)
Forgot? Geez, I thought we were only doing the top wanteds, or maybe next. I probably have another dozen or two on the want list!
Maybe three or four, come to think of it...

It's funny that Greenscout meantioned the Sig SG 556. I've been drooling over the Sig556 line for a while and really want to get one. I came into this thread today with the intent of posting that this is the gun I'd love to get next, in one of the many variations...exact variation desired has nont yet been decided).
My wife commented on Christmas Eve that I wasn't particularly happy. My best friend was there too. She asked what would make me happy so I threw out that getting this new gun that I'd been looking at for anywhere from $1500 - $2000 would make me happy. she told me that if THAT would make me happy, just get it.
Somehow, I think that if I were to "just get it", she'd then be the unhappy one and I'd have to live with that, so.... No new gun for me right now.
But dang, I think that's a sweet gun.

OH MAN!
The paper work is on my desk --completed!
The check is written!
The Stamp is afixed!
My first CMP order is ready to go.
M1 Garand .....YESSSSSSSSSS!
EBR - Embrace the Darkness!
Hmmm, somehow that sounds familiar to me too...

With my wife, its almost like shes daring me. You know, when she says, fine, just do whatever you want.... The first time you hear this, you think; Cool! Shes OK with this! So, you go and do or buy what ever it was you wanted. Strangely, when you get home, you're facing an icy environment...
I think of it like this: It is a risk/benefit analysis....
The risk, beyond the cash investment, is just how pissed is she going to be and for how long.. I find myself doing this mental exercise frequently...
I would like to finish my 1911 in 38 super I started.
Garand in .308 would be nice
A1 IDF clone may get there sooner.
The time to shoot more often would be nice.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Mine just says no. I bypass this and get myself into trouble by utilizing the rationale that it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission. In fact, I did that one time because I wanted a metal detector, and (I kid you not) she actually said, as she was irritated with me, that she'd have rather I bought a gun! (So next time, I did!)Hmmm, somehow that sounds familiar to me too...

I would love to get a few things!
Drago AK pistol
M1 Garand
some sort of 44 mag with 4" barrel in SS
Ruger red label over and under shotgun with pheasant engraving or something similar.
Remington 887 in camo for a new duck gun
Ruger LCP for a pocket gun
long range .308 or 300 WIN MAG bolt gun. don't think I could go for the 4K one but I really like the savage 10fcp
.50 cal! the Barret would be my ultimate choice and I saw one at Jensens today I would love to have, but would settle for the AR50
I am sure there is more but I am under the weather so they allude me at the moment
