Glocks are my cheapest guns, and I like'em a lot.

Not my favorite pistols, HK takes that slot, but my Glocks are well loved.

Another vote for the vz2008...one of my favorite rifles. Of course I have spent far more modding it then I paid for it but that's only because I like it so much.

Got a tokarev for about 200 bucks that is a real joy to shoot.

Grand power p1mk7 I like better than my p226 and I paid about 1/3 of what the sig cost for it.

could be,could be

I picked up a used MPA M30T in 9mm for $100. It is very reliable, uses cheap STEN mags and is really fun to shoot. Nothing really practical about it but I enjoy it. I was "pleasantly surprised".

Zastava m88a,  Liked the first one so much i just bought another one $190 each.

Its a compact tokarev in 9mm.

One of these.

Feels sorta like a cross between a USP and a CZ75.

I very much like the idea of a steel-framed USP, since it gets around my only real complaint about the USP in the first place; polymer frames and my hands don't agree.

I think I paid $325 OTD for mine.

If I could get a holster made for it (since the one that comes with it is literally worthless) it would replace my 1911 for summer carry, since the finish takes sweat a whole lot better than the park on my 1911 does.

Plus 16+1 of 9mm is pretty nice compared to 9+1.

I bought one of these for $150.00 back in 1997. I've put 1,000+ rounds through it, and it has jammed 3 times. All of which I believe were from limp wristing it.

Llama .45

What is it?

 
Looks like they based the grip angle (or lack of) off of one of these:

Haha I find it comfortable but the grip is a little short and my pinky finger rides the mag butt plate.  325 flawless rounds through the first one. Haven't fired the second one yet.

My Chinese Mak-90 . I bought it new for a whopping $229 , it runs and runs and runs
My Howa 1500
High Standard 22 revolver . it shoots much better than I expected it to.

I've always felt that Chinese AK's are some of the best AK's you can get. They were an amazing value back when you could get them for $199.

I've had to change out all of my 8 round mags for mine.
The pistol will run 100% only with reduced round counts in the mags.
Two mags would only work with 5 round or less while the other two would run when loaded with 7 or less rounds.
And this was with Remington yellow box and Tula steel cased 115 grain FMJ. Ironically, it ran better with the Tula.

It wasn't mine, but a guy at the range was using a Winchester "Wildcat" .22 rifle with a cheap POS 4x15mm bb gun scope on it to shoot cloverleaf groups at 25 yds. Group after group after group.

If he paid full retail he didn't have  $200 tied up in it.

EAA/ SAR Arms ST-10.

They were kind of a steal at $325; now that they're like $430+, not so much.

Sterling Carbine.  Blast to shoot, cheap to reload for, and 100% reliable.  Extra cool points for being a Stormtrooper gun..!!

Really wish I had picked up a sterling when they were fairly cheap. Nice gun..........

Yugoslavian commercial mausers

The Zastava Mauser and Mini Mauser rifles, under whatever name they have bene sold under (Interarms Mk X and Mini Mark X, Charles Daly, Remington 798 and 799, and Zastava M70 and M85) are great buys and superb performers.

I've owned Interarms Mk Xs in .243 and .308 and both were MOA capable rifles.  I own a pair of .22 Hornets, one a Rem 799 with it's composite stock as well as a Zastava M85 with the original stock replaced with a Rem 799 stock, and both are sub MOA rifles, one shooting 1/2 MOA groups and the other shooting 3/4 MOA groups.

I have a new M85 in .223 arriving this week and I fully expect it to be MOA or better as well.  Not bad for $390.   It will go into a NOS Interarms stock from Sarco adding another $80 to the price, but it's still a great deal.

The wood CAI is currently ordering on the M70s and M85s isn't bad, but it's poorly finished with the checkering incomplete and finish has all the charm of shoe polish.  But the metal work, as always is superb with excellent polish and a very deep blue finish.  The hammer forged barrels are also exceptionally smooth, durable and superbly stress relieved giving excellent accuracy with no tendency to walk as the barrel heats up.


On the left is a Zastava M85 in .22 Hornet in the original stock,  and on the right is a Rem 799 in .22 Hornet.  The 799s used a shorter 20" barrel with no front sight, and eliminated stock, but are otherwise identical:


 

FEG P9s and first generation P9Ms

The P9 is a very faithful Mk I Hi Power clone and the first gen P9M is the same pistol with a different slide release and 3 dot sights.

Both are very well made, particularly in the polished blued versions, with good accuracy and excellent reliability, for about a third the price of an FN Hi Power.

FEG P9 on the top, FN Hi Power on the bottom:



FEG AP and APK seriespistols

The FEG AP9S and AP7S pistols are steel framed Walther PP copies with slightly heavier frames and slides in .380 ACP and .32 ACP respectively.   The APK9S and APK7S are steel framed Walther PPK/S copies in the same calibers.   Finish varies by importer but the Interarms imported models are exceptionally well finished, accurate and very reliable.  They sell for around $350-$400 in as new condition.  

Interarms imported APK:



CZ99 Precision


This is a Zastava made .22LR both action.  They sell for around $199 and like the other CAI imports the wood on them is no well finished, but like the M70 and M85 Mausers, the metal work is superb.   Remington imported them as the Remington Model 5, and you can still find new Remington laminated stocks to drop them in.




 

I have one of these as well.
Hands down its always the favorite with everyone on range day.
They sure aren't cheap anymore tho.

This.

I traded a sealed can of M-855 straight across for a brand new bersa thunder back when the ATF was going to ban them.

That little fucker shoots like a laser, refuses to jam, has almost no recoil, and is just comfortable as hell to shoot. My wife loved it and she's not a gun person.

More honorable mentions


Marlin XL-7 in .270.  In a world where there are thousands of new bolt actions coming out daily it's easy for a good one to get overlooked. I got mine at a pawn shop for$150 LNIB. Great rifle.

Remington 714 single shot .22--- Scary accurate, super light weight and easy to maneuver in the woods. I bought it for my sons first squirrel rifle but I use it more than he does. $90 NIB.

Ruger P series pistols. You just can't break them.

K31, not as cheap as they used to be but damn accurate and fun to shoot

Savage 10/111 package deals at the big box stores. Sub moa, free float barrel, and detachable mags for a low price. The 30-06 I had was quite the shooter.

I have one of the swiss 308 conversions looks like a k31 (that's not the right model)
I bought for 50$ it is a cool rifle works like a champ , accurate and not everyone has one.


Bought a pair of the original savage tactical bolt guns 329 each they both shoot moa.

Tri-Star/SAR Arms, great value.

Picked up an SD9VE for $260 today.  It should fit nicely here.  Coated the slide today.  Waiting on my Apex spring kit.

Ruger 10/22 and 22/45, S&W 442...though none are all too cheap anymore.

This 1980 model 10 was purchased for $220 bucks and is likely the best shooting handgun I've got.
20150526_121250 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr

Remington 788 in 22-250, $120. Needed cleaning and a better scope, now it shoots sub-moa with handloads.

This.  $100 of awesomeness.

I bought an 8MM  VZ 24 Mauser for $40 and it ended up being a great rifle. Good accuracy(even with the crappy sites)and a smooth action. It's one gun I wish I would've kept.

I was given a Henry AR-7 survival rifle (.22 cal.) and an H&R single-shot 20 ga. shotgun. The Henry is surprisingly accurate and the shotgun has won several turkeys at our VFD turkey shoots.

The Nagant revolver I paid $49 for, the Chinese T53 I paid $35 for, and the Romanian M69 .22LR rifle I bought for $70 at a gun show.  Hell of a good shooting rifle and much sought after today.

We tried HARD to make one choke last summer after a friend bought one for less than a bill.  It got fed all the remnants of boxes of range 9mm and functioned fine until it started not going back fully into battery because of the layers of carbon.  Blasted it out with some brake cleaner (its a Hi-Point, why not?) and it chugs along.  It is impressive, if you keep your expectations low!  

The trigger on the other hand.....SUCKS.  HUGE.

Hi-Point 995TS, 9mm carbine
Remington 597 22lr with a 16.5" heavy barrel

Both of these are just a blast to shoot and as accurate as I can be at close to medium range.

what stock is that on the 10/22? I like it a lot

I friend of mine has a H&R Tamer 410. It's awesome because it's so short and light, you can shoot at golf balls and clays all day and not get sore or bored. Lots of fun for $100

.410 ammo is among the most overpriced stuff on the market

I bought a RIA Model 206 .38 special at a gun show 6 months ago for shits and gigs, and it's a decent little piece. It was only $200 and I've had 0 problems with it.

RIA 1911 best $350 I spent twice. I bought one brand new in about 06, then sold it like an idiot, only gun I have regretted getting rid of, I always said if I see one used I will pick it up, about 2 years ago I found another one used at the LGS for $325 and bought it.

My stouger cougar in 9 mil has just impressed the hell outta me.. I've got 4k rounds through it.. Not a single malfunction.. At all.. I'm a believer..

Puma mod. 92. 38/357 Lever action Carbine.  Have about $300 in it. Stone reliable and fun to shoot. Eats 38 reloads never had a jam.

I picked up a Stevens 410/22 O/U for $40.00 at a yardsale. Handy little gun.

Ruger American in 30.06 - $339

I put a Nikon 4-14 mil dot on leupy rings

For the price it shoots like a $1000 rifle.

Prone, off bipod, it is a 1/2 inch rifle all day long.

Walther ppx 225.00 Cant beat it!

No online. Rural King

+1

$255 shipped @ Widener's this week

I had gotten one for my wife and it would barely make it through a mag without jamming. But I had a Taurus 1911 and it ran like a champ.
