[This post prompted by this week's Big 5 ad, which has Garands on sale for $800, which cash I do not have]
I've posted it before, but if I had the cash, here are some rifles I'd want:
A Garand.
A 1903 Springfield.
A 1892 Krag-Jorgensen.
A 1873 Springfield in .45-70 (not to mention a boatload of others in .45-70, including the Remington rolling block).
And a bunch of others.
[sigh] I need a boatload of spare cash.
Iz out!

I've still got two I want...CZ makes a bolt action .223 that I'd love to have, and what girl wouldn't want a .50? ;D
The one I want? This. Or this, as an alternate.
Besides the cash outlay, getting suitable ammo would be a problem; Kahr recommends ONLY brass ammo, no steel case. Plus, surprise surprise!, all of their weapons are back ordered. I can't imagine why.
TW: peessest. Yeah, I know whom you're talking about, and he's indeed a pest.
I have an 03 Springfield. It's been mounted on a sporting stock -- it was my dad's hunting rifle. But it's still an 03 Springfield.
Suck it, my friend.
My dream is owning a Garand. One day
Ken, I should have asked.......what sort of Garands are on sale at the "Big 5"? $800 for one is an EXCELLENT deal.
The Civilian Marksmanship Program is currently offering used Garands for around $400 to $500 (and up, I must note), if you want to wait 3-4 months for the order to be processed.
Assuming that you are already registered with the CMP in the first place. I am, mostly for the ammo deals.
