OK, you won the lottery, first rifle?

[elkhnter]

Just for fun. The Mega is up to 970 million, you win. What’s the first rifle purchase?
Mine would be a 1885 Highwall chambered in 388-06, Leupold VX5HD scope.

 

[WestKyHunt]

WW2 issued Springfield with correct era scope. And yes I'd shoot it

 

[Fullquiver]

I don't need a rifle....

 

[VikingsGuy]

Used Savage Axis?

 

[belshawelk]

Turnbull restoration in .454 Casull.

Then a Nosler Mountain Carbon in .27 Nosler, then a Weatherby Mark V in .257 ( customized)

 

[Cheesehead]

David Miller anything

 

[Addicting]

I’m going to build and patent a AR14.

 

[mtmuley]

I'm calling Kirby Allen. mtmuley

 

[Mallardsx2]

Depending on the lottery amount, I would likely skip the rifle and likely buy property in Iowa and Illinois and Nebraska.

 

[noharleyyet]

I’m not selling any.

 

[Dougfirtree]

Well first, I'd have to build a walk-in rifle closet...

Seriously though, I think the first thing would be to buy a solid, good-for-life rifle for each of my kids. Then I could have fun cooking up a load for each one!

 

[golfer]

I'd first buy components for the rifle or many rifles...winning that much price would not matter.

 

[thusby]

Get a Class 3 FFL and a 50 cal belt fed.

 

[Deleted member 28227]

I’d call Viking and get them to build me a new beaver.

 

[Ben Lamb]

I'm calling Kirby Allen. mtmuley

Similar.

A battery of custom made lh mausers from 7mm up to 416.

And a visit to Griffin & Howe for fitting in a pair of express rifles, as well as 3 pairs of shotguns.

One gun. To quote Ron Burgundy, "bush league!"

 

[rwc101]

Used Savage Axis?

You won the friggin lottery...


Splurge on the Axis II.

 

[RaiderRich]

Why buy a rifle, buy the rifle manufacturer

 

[RaiderRich]

I’m going to build and patent a AR14.

Wouldn't you want to go half way between the AR-10 and AR-15 and develop the AR-12.5?

For that matter, 6.5CM? Nah get twice the fun with a 13CM!

 

[rwc101]

I'd probably just buy a bunch of old double barrel shotguns and a Mannlicher stocked rifle or two.

 

[TN2shot07]

You guys make me think I’m cheap! I’m a sucker for quarter bores and have always wanted a 257 wby in a Mark V, but since it’s the lottery might as well try several configurations...
