u want a big gun and turn heads? get a Desert Eagle that will do the job. last time i went to the shooting range people were like wtf is that! (they hadnt seen the gun at the time just heard the blast) silly rabbits shooting their 9mm and such. haha!

My AR always turns heads especially when i fire a round off, no one expects such a small round to make a big bang. I wish the M107 was legal in CA, i would buy one for sure.

my recievers get here monday. Time to order the uppers one in .223 and the other in a .308 or .458nato. Spikes makes multi round recievers so i can fuck the DOJ by making a 50 cal if i want, expensive to shoot though. Got a .22 to for cheap fun at the range.

$12 for 500 rounds that's the way to go for cheap fun!!!
The Ruger 10/22 is on sale at Sports Authority for $179.99 same price I bought mine for a couple months ago.
I added a good red dot scope and a 25 round magazine to mine. The 10/22 has been around for years and has probably the most aftermarket upgrades available.

Alot of guys hate on them, but I have a Hi-Point C9 9mm, cheap and very reliable. So far, I have 900 rounds through mine and NEVER had a jam or any problems. Plus, you can't argue with the no-questions-asked lifetime warranty from the factory, also, they always send an extra mag back to you.
As for a sniper rifle, I personally own a 91/30 Mosin Nagant. It's rugged, reliable, fires a 7.62x54 round, and I have seen them hit 18" targets from 900 yards. Another upside, they can be had for under $100.

I hate it when people come out with "I had this, but you should get this" A hand gun is a personal choice. If you are a first timer this is what I would recommend. Go to a range that rents handguns, rent several different kinds, and which ever one fits your hand and you feel comfortable with, buy it up. I learned to shoot with a glock, but ended up with xd's because I liked the grip angle more. Happy Hunting!

thanks a lot, my buddy has a glock but i just liked how the xd felt compared to the glock and the fact that the xd had more safety devices to it and this is my first gun so safety was the main priority for me
