    Ok i've got about $300 to do whatever i want with. I want to get it spent so that it doesn't end up going to bills or something later on. What would you get? I'm having trouble thinking of anything for under $300....The only thing i can think of is another .22 rifle. so...what would you get??

    To parrot the others, ammo/mags/training/knives/etc... Things that are support to EDC or SHTF supplies/equipment. A good class can always bolster your skills and add to your defensive repetior! :D

    $300 really makes one stretch out what they want in regards to a firearm. If one has their bases covered (brace of pistols, minimum one long arm of sorts, plenty of ammo/mags for all), then what? Plinking gun? "Fun" gun? Yeah, really makes one wonder, hmmm what could I get? Two Mosins with some ammo for them? A cheap pocket pistol? Decent .22 pistol or great .22 rifle? Like, 80 High Points? :D :D Etc... Nothing of superb quality but just fun stuff.

    get into the NFA stuff. Get a suppressor and the tax stamp paid for about $300 total.

    If I had an extra $300... I'd put it with the $300 I've already saved and get a CZ SP01. :D

    However, if I had only $300, and I knew that there wasn't any more to be devoted to firearms, then I'd probably look for a Henry .22 or a used Ruger 9mm pistol. Preference probably goes to the Henry even though I have a few .22s already.

    S&W .22lr pistol. I can't quite remember the model? But they are about $250 and I've heard a lot of good things about them. Prolly be my next investment.

    Or a couple 30 packs of busch light, and one helluva party!

    I would check my local gun shop that often has C&R type firearms and see if anything new had been traded in by somebody.
    I've gotten some cool stuff through the years in the $100-200 range.
