I am a massive CoD tacticool faggot that has recently been bitten by the fudd bug and wish to waste money in that direction.
>What are some quintessential high quality firearms to look at that are robust enough for the field but beautiful enough to hang over the mantle?
I think my first poor decision will be a Sako 85 bavarian carbine in .308
>>29451522
I want a horse cock
>>29451522

Tikka T3s are also delicious Finguns with excellent quality. I believe they have a few more fudd friendly stocks.

I meant economically.
I'd look for one of the old pump shotguns. Winchester Model 97 and 12, Ithaca 37, Remington Model 31, Stevens 520.
All of these guns existed in both plain field types and high grade models, they all exhibit wonderful craftsmanship and are durable firearms, the Stevens 520 is a bit of a goober compared to the rest because of its odd receiver profile but it has an ingenious takedown mechanism and is a JMB design.
The FN/Browning Auto-5 and Remington Model 11 are two others that are classic firearms, one is just a license built version of the other but they are pretty iconic and if adjusted properly can take a remarkable amount of punishment.
As far as rifles I would actually look for one of the older FN commercial Mausers or even the Husqvarna 640/1640, all 98 pattern rifles with solid construction and pretty affordable still. If you don't mind looking around you could try to find a Mauser 'guild gun', these are 1890-1930's era European sporting rifles and are little treasure troves of nearly forgotten features. Not uncommon to find guild guns with ribbed barrels, double set triggers, express sights, and carved horn trigger guards.

Ruger #1 and red label.
> .308
that ain't a fudd caliber
try 30-06 , 300 win mag or 45/70
>>29451669
Just remembered, a very good option for a sporting rifle if you don't want to shell out for a Model 70 is the Remington Model 30. Built off Model of 1917 Enfield receivers they are an incredibly robust rifle and actually quite stylish, if a bit bulkier than their counterparts. I have a 1940 production Model 30S Express with a Weaver 330 M.8 that is an absolute dream to shoot and quite accurate.
if your first gun isn't a mosin then i don't think you can be called a man
>>29451642
30.30 or 45.70 for lever guns?
>>29451688
>>29451684
I'm still a tactifag.
>>29451698
.357 and .44 magnum are great to pair with a revolver in the same caliber.
between 30-30 and 45-70 both are expensive and powerful, so you might as well get 45-70. it's just much more impressive to shoot.
>>29451691
My first gun was a sbs 870 with an AR stock, then a XD.40 tactical then a MK23 and things just kept going like that...
>I may buy a sniper nugget in the future but I think I'd rather have a Lee enfield or a k98 or k31
>>29451522
You want an impractical, fudd weapon? Want it to be accurate as fuck? Not terribly expensive? Multiple calibers? Manly? Reloader's wet dream? Get a thompson contender.
>>29451736
I like your collection.
>>29451785
what's yours in?
mine's .223
>>29451812
357 mag, 357 herrett, 22lr, 222. Never use the 222 or 22lr.
>>29451809
thank you.
CoD was after my time but as a kid I did like tacticool guns and airshit. when I did start buying guns for myself I decided I preferred wood and steel, since the aluminum and plastic ones looked and felt too much like toys.
as for the leverguns, I like the smoothness of the 1873 action more than that of the 1892 and 1886. I also like the look of the case hardened finish. I like the crescent buttplate, semi pistol grip, and long octagon barrel of the 1886. 45-70 and 44 mag are more impressive to shoot, but 357/38 is much cheaper to shoot. plus while I love the tang peep sight, I'd hesitate to use one on a rifle with much kick.
pic related is pretty much my ideal. too bad it wasn't out yet when I was shopping for mine.
>>29451522
If you have shitloads of money you should buy a genuine safari double rifle in .375 H&H magnum or bigger from Holland and Holland or James Purdy and Sons.
Get them to cut you fancy pictures of Elephant Hunts or whatever you dream up on the metal work, which they do.
Cost you 80,000 or so but will be a jaw dropper show piece that can also be taken out to the bush.
>>29452024
I'd love a 470. double rifle but it's a little rich for my blood. $3000-4000(can) is my upper limit per gun at the moment.
>I don't think ever buy another firearm as expensive as my SR-25 again.
>>29452079
I figure there are a few Richie Rich's who visit 4chan.
Hell, I know some Richie Riches in real life and I'm just middle class.
>>29452097
have you considered a Sabatti?
>>29452097
More realistically, if you like .308 Winchester, you should be able to find a good repeater for 700 to 2000 USD just by typing '308 semi auto' on google.
I don't keep up with exchange rates.

A buddy of mine told me that a 1911 was like a sewing machine, every house needs to have one.
If you listen to Jeff Cooper, he would tell you that you at least need a Scout Rifle, Savage Scout is a good option, the Steyr is the only one that fits all of his criteria. He was the guy who really made 1911s popular.
I'm going to say the following are good choices
> bolt action rifle with a scope for big game and light fighting
Get something chambered in a "thirty" caliber, like 30-06, 300 blackout, or most preferably .308 Winchester
Savage Scout Model 11 308
Remington 700
Steyr 308
> A shotgun with a flashlight for home defense
Mossberg 500
Saiga 12
> A sidearm for when you can't get to the rifle or the shotgun
Opinions differ on caliber I'm going to say the following are decent choices
Some solid 1911 .45 ACP like the Springfield or Kimber
A basic no frills 9mm like the glock 19 or smith and wesson m&p
USP Compact 40 is a reliable carry gun
FNX 45 Tactical
Mark 23/HK45t/USP45
Some additional choices would be:
> Plinker/Small game rifle
Ruger 10/22
>Battle Rifle
SCAR 17S .308
Any solid AR platform you build yourself
AK-47
>>29452268
>He was the guy who really made 1911s popular.
No, that was Uncle Sam and every serviceman who used one in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
>>29452148
I had never heard of them. Thank you for directing me.
>I'm not seeing any pricing listed...
>>29452178
I have I sub MOA SR-25 already, It is fantastic for precision rifle matches.
I'm just shopping for some thing different
>probably...
>Sako Bavarian carbine
>Benelli 828U

Didn't realize the Kimber butthurt around these parts.
>>29452360
man you have all that plus a chiappa rhino what else do you want?
>>29452297
May be too expensive but a .338 lapua (AR 30, Sako TRG 42, other good companies out there...)
will give you a bit of prestige and power.
>>29452430
To dress up like this with guns to match when I meet up with my John deer hat wearing country friends for a hunting meet.

Baikal and century import a 45-70 double for around $1200-$2000. They also make 30-06.
Save your money and buy used. I bought a classic 112+ year old 9.4x74r double for $2400. It's in excellent shooting condition. At this point idgaf if it did shoot because I've had such a hard boner from researching.
There are also a number of custom gun makers that will convert a 12ga to a double in a number of calibers for $5000 give or take. Eventually ID like a 357 max double, 18 inch barrels. Oh baby to say the least. FYI not all shotguns are suited to this task.
>>29451736
Just get a Winchester Model 70
>>29451522
Black powder revolvers.
>>29451736
>both are expensive and powerful, so you might as well get 45-70.
Your logic only has one flaw. You must grow stronger anon.you must embrace the belt
>>29453173
>embrace the belt
I do. top rifle in that pic is a .375 H&H that I've since altered to use 5 and 10rd mags.
I'm just not a fan of Marlin leverguns.
>>29451582
why do the full length stocks make my pee pee hard.
>>29453381
because they're called "man licker" stocks
>>29452297

>>29453594
I does. I have very good results with Hornady Win 168 gr A-MAX Superformance Match
>>29454124
I just wish I could shoot as well off a bipod...
