I'm sure a few people have something that interests them in Firearms,Optic's,Reloading,ect,ect.

So who's gonna get your hard earned $$$$$$$$ in 2011?

Me. I hunt a bit mostly Chuck's and a few Yotes

#1- AR15 upper 204 medium weight custom 20-21" barrel. Possibly built on LAR left side charging upper. I'll start on this in Feb. I've owned 24" bull uppers in 204. To bulky, poor balance.

#2- Saiga 12

#3 possibly a Sig 522 or Excel Arms XR-22. Though that new Excel Arms 5.7 FN has caught my attention.

not much else, brass,powder,bullets. Possibly a scope or 2

The new year will be exactly a week old when I go pick up a NIB Ruger 77MkII RSI in .243 Win.
Thinkin' about maybe stickin' a Leupold VX-III 1.5-5 scope on it.

that should cover Whitetail,Hog, Varmints in 1 rifle. Scope sounds about perfect also

I really want a Marlin Cowboy 2 in .357mag.

Or maybe a Shuff's Mini-G in .308

Posted: 12/29/2010 2:36:24 PM EDT

[#4]

My 2011 list is:

Training:
1. Basic carbine course.
2. Basic precision rifle course.

Guns and stuff:
1. Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32 with LV reticle with BOBRO mount.
2. Geiselle SCAR trigger + 3 Geiselle AR triggers.
3. AAC M4-2000 or similar AAC suppressor.
4. KAC SR-15 IWS, or another SCAR 16s
5. Aimpoint Micro T1 w/ LaRue mount.
6. Lots of good ammo in 6.8, 5.56, 9mm, and .22.

I want to fill up my suppressor inventory.

Haven't decided which ones in particular but I know I want a .45, another 5.56, and possibly a .338

That Shuff's mini G 308 with M14 mag conversion is interesting.

Posted: 12/29/2010 2:53:04 PM EDT

[#7]

RCBS rock chucker starter kit and all needed accessories
Spikes AR
6.8 upper
all magpul toys
Eotech
McMillan A5 stock and AAC Cyclone for Remington 700
weatherby vanguard .257wby and zeiss conquest
tikka t3 .243 and zeiss conquest
remington 870 (x2) one will probably be a SBS
HK45
Springfield TRP .45acp
Smith 442 .38spl
Browning Buckmark .22lr

Hopefully a precision rifle class too!

I am also looking at Shuff's miniG .30/06.

Maybe get a second Glock 21.

I may try to shoot heavy metal 3-gun with it. (Shuff's)

Nightforce, need a nice optic for my OBR. That will probably be it. I went a little crazy this year.

Posted: 12/29/2010 3:19:09 PM EDT

[#10]

lots of diversity so far. reloading to some fairly exspensive rifles and nice glass.

The local shop has a 19" Saiga 12, that'll have to wait till the 204 upper gets finished. Gotta have the 204 for spring Chuck huntin.

We will see what this years shotshow has to offer also! Maybe not much in these times of tite cash flow.

A two day road trip to the CMP South Store in Anniston, AL is the only thing that is really on my list. Banzai up there, overnight in a motel and banzai back after a couple of hours shopping. I am busy saving up money so that I can write a check for a new car at the end of 2011 so I cannot go too crazy.

yep gotta get priorities straight. Gotta have wheels 1st.

The wife retires this year so I've cut way back in the last couple years. Hell I've got enough critter getter's anyways.
That upper and a Siaga 12 will most likely be it for the year. Besides things with 2 wheels dig into my shallow pockets also

I'm buying a new shotgun and that's it. Maybe make some changes to existing ARs.

All available funds will be going towards:
-ammo
-match fees
-maybe a couple more classes

Posted: 12/29/2010 4:44:54 PM EDT

[#14]

Larue spr scope mount
ammo
3 gun match fee
mags (m&p and AR)
maybe a safe if i can afford one

My AR will be done with the scope mount so no more money will go into it besides ammo/mags.

seems ammo prices are easing down a touch. I've reloaded for so many years I'd lost track until small rifle primers dried up. I like to have at least 5k in SR primers and I was getting down there too.

Thankfully the lawmakers have been busy with the pooped economy. Hopefully everyone can get a break on ammo soon.

Just announced today...Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle .308! Might be the ultimate do it all rifle. Would be my answer to the threads "if you could only have 1 gun"...

They'll do well with that.

Ruger has been aggressive with the new CEO and board. I think they're getting competition in their replacement joints, hip/knee in the medical field and their golf club heads they make for other companies in their casting division.

They investment cast a shitload of other stuff besides firearms. pine tree casting.

There will be lots of reloading components coming my way. From 158 grain .358 LSWCs to Trail Boss to primers to .308 155 grain A-MAXes.

My spring reloading bill used to be a big one. Anymore powder and bullets $350.00-400 I alway's buy primers when there around and like to keep 10-15K. Rem 7 1/2's are scarce at times around me. 90% small rifle here 221,204,223.

Noveske - AAC : 8" suppressed 300 blackout PDW.

Most likely to get my money in 2011
ArmaLite AR-10NM
Burris fastfire2 for my utility shotgun.

Posted: 12/29/2010 10:58:04 PM EDT

Hopefully nobody. I think I'll take the year off. Too many projects completed this year. The NFA stuff was the icing on the cake. Just ammo to shoot. No stockpiling.

Buying 2 or 3 scopes most likely Leupolds
going to get some work done on my Model 70
6.8 upper assembly
and a Marlin 1895 SBL

Posted: 12/30/2010 12:09:20 AM EDT

[#28]

well 1st off ammo ammo ammo

then an ak in 7.62x39 prolly soon (late x-mas for myself)
30mm rings tall ( on back order for the scope that will go on my grendel)
2nd gen nvg, providing I can find a good affordable setup.
more kevlar panels to go in my vest ( got lv III hard plates but stuck with IIA soft behind it till I get more layers)
come tax time looking at an ar10 or m1a +mods and optics
also looking at a .357mag as soon as the ar10 is bought and done,

and of course more ammo ammo ammo

Bigest chunk of change is going to a friend for a 45 Colt Marlin Lever.

Next will be to ammo companies, for 12 Ga birdshot, 22 LR, 22 WMR & 45 Colt.

Lee will probably get some money, as I am looking into a "Lee Classic Reloader" for the 45 Colt.

I am planning on getting my Pistol Permit, so I may be buying a CCW as well, not sure what yet though. I kinda wanna get a 1911, but part of me wants to go with an XD, I really like the way they shoot. Either way, whatever I get, 45 ACP ammo will also be ordered, as well as extra mags for whatever gun I get.

Hum, don't know if all of the following will actually come to fruition but it's in the plan:

RPK - have my eye on one now
RPD - soon to be built
OO BAR - definite "maybe". 4K is a lot of money for a semi BAR but I doubt they'll get any cheaper.
Luger - maybe I'll finally get my hands on one of these
Deagle - just because
Semi PKM - if I can find one fairly priced. Should have bought one 2 years ago.

GAP 700 in .260 - long-term goal
Reloading components - an on-going thing
Continue replacing cheap junk scopes with good ones

Building the vault will be top priority in 2011 though. I need to get this done as it's getting old dealing with safes and I really could use the extra level of security. The project will be spendy but it'll be worth it in the long run.

I have finally ruled out the semi M2HB. Too much money, too heavy to lug around, and too big to store.

My son's going to have one hell of an auction when I kick the bucket.

1. HK P2000SK 9mm
2. Ruger Super blackhawk in 357
3. Marlin in 357
4. MSAR MCS 9mm (whenever they come out)
5. FN AR .308
6. Trijicon TR24G for FN AR 1-4x24mm(30mm tube) CQB
7. Trijicon TR23G for FN AR 5-20x50mm for long range
8. Aimpoint M4S for MSAR MCS

yes. MSAR seemed to fall behind the 8 ball on the 9mm.It's been over a year now. I would think there to be a fair market for that little rifle.

Posted: 12/30/2010 10:35:37 AM EDT

[#34]

Really not too much on my "to buy" list. Sticking to practical arms this year.

1. Gen 3 Glock 17
2. Ruger Mark III Standard 6" (So I can quit borrowing the wife's Ruger

)
3. Couple Remington 870s
4. Ruger or Kel-Tec .380.

Posted: 12/30/2010 11:58:49 AM EDT

[#35]

FNH and the ATF will be getting a lot of cash from me this year.

In order (roughly) of when I'll purchase them...

FN SCAR 16s then SBR it
Either Aimpoint or ACOG for SCAR
Another PS90 then SBR it
Ruger LCP
Gemtech G5
Trijicon RMR for my FiveseveN
Glock 17

I'd also like to get a S&W M&P 15 but that might not make the 2011 cut

I'm with you. Gonna be very slow on anything but the house. I have a plan to pay the mortgage off in 5 years. If I can do that we will owe no one anything (monetarily anyway). Student loans, cars and motorcycles, home = done at the age of 40!!!!

Posted: 12/30/2010 8:54:52 PM EDT

My plans so far for this year in order
2 form 1's for AR's to the ATF (1 new barrel and one cut).
Optic for AR-10C maybe an ACOG
Optic for AAC 700 308(not sure yet)
CZ 452 16" American w/optics (may pick up local Jan 1st.)

These I will pick up as they find me
Arsenal AK 74
DSA Fal
S&W 686 4" .357
Marlin 336CS 30-30

Posted: 12/30/2010 10:10:29 PM EDT

[#38]

The only thing I want to buy is an MSAR MCS in 9mm...IF they actually appear in 2011

Other than that,I'll be thinning the herd down a little more rather than picking new things up.

Posted: 12/31/2010 7:50:16 AM EDT

[#39]

Colt:
- LE6450 AR15 9MM carbine
- R6830 AR15 7.62x39 rifle (only made from 1993-1996)

BATF:
- gotta SBR a Spikes Tactical suppressed dedicated 22LR AR pistol to be able to put a folding stock on it

Also have to get my self around and do some serious reloading - got a complete outfit about three years ago with dies, powder, brass, and bullets for my favorite calibers and ain't done shit!!!!!

Probably others that I don't know that I need yet.

I'm having Dean's Gun Restoration work over a USGI M1 carbine for me.

Then, I'll buy some ammo.

Posted: 12/31/2010 11:56:28 AM EDT

[#41]

Carbine course
Ammo
Larue Sope mount.
Maybe a .22 suppressor
Maybe and SBR

I need to focus on shooting what I have. I spent too much on new toys this year

Posted: 12/31/2010 6:05:50 PM EDT

[#42]

A whole bunch of heavy .223/5.56 ammo. I've already got a pile of M193 and M855 stockpiled, but I want to match it with some heavier stuff.

I want another SBR'd AR. I have one already, but I started with a DPMS stripped lower and I wish I had started with something nicer. I'm considering a POF or Spikes billet, but maybe a Seekins for something different. I might go one step further and get a comlete 12" Larue OBR 5.56. I just don't know yet.

I'm ordering an ACOG shortly. I just keep going back and forth about what reticle and magnification I want. It's for a 14.5" middy with a Noveske Afghan barrel that is my "do it all" rifle. It wears a Leupold VX-II 1x4 now but I want something different.

I want some kind of night vision scope for coyote calling. Just blasting a big spotlight gives me a headache after a while.

over the years quite a few companies have shown interesting designs. Some I'd always thought would do well and they just never make it to market.

I'm sure we will see a few new interesting pieces at this years Shot Show.

I will probably start out the year by getting

#4 Ammo and loading supplies throughout the year.

I need one more quality 30mm scope... most likely another Leupold MK4. Other than that, not sure 2011 will bring any new guns/optics my way. I really need another safe.
