$500.00....in the gun world, not much. Inflation is a real bitch.

$2,000.00...now you're talking.

A new Remington SPS Tactical in .308 with a Konus M-30 Pro series scope. An Armalite AR-30 in .300 Win Mag or .338 Lapua Magnum with the same glass. A CZ-550 African in .458 Lott, or a Pedersoli Sharps rifle in .45-120. An original Belgian-produced FN-FAL, or German HK-91. If I felt like getting exotic, an Italian BM-59 with a few spare magazines. An STI Grandmaster race-gun in .45ACP or 10mm Cooper Magnum. Maybe a complete Lee or Lyman reloading setup, or (if I truly felt like indulging) a proper Side-by-Side 12ga shotgun, with Tiger Maple stock, double triggers, English wrist, splinter forend and fixed M/F chokes. If I found a dealer who liked me, maybe even a nice hard-side leather case and a spare set of barrels.

Guns are about like golf clubs. You can go broke -real- quick.
