If you could afford any gun, what handgun, and what rifle would you get?

@freemo Desert Eagle in all three calibres. Same frame, different uppers in a kit, all don't in nickel finish. For the rifle, a Barret I think.... not for practicality, but just the sheer joy of being able to reach out and touch someone from a mile or more away.

Now on a budget, useful weapons, not toys... I'm pretty happy with my Remington new army, 1858. I might like another, but with the 12 inch barrel in stainless, and the detachable stock. For a rifle, I am seriously thinking about that KelTek SU19 or the Henry A7. I like light weight collapsible weapons that can still do what they are meant to do. Something that you can pack.

@JonKramer Nice choices.. I was considering a Desert Eagle as well.

@freemo They have issues, misfeeds, very sensitive to exactly the right loads, etc. But amazingly accurate. I used to have much better eyesight, and there is no way I could do this today, but I put a 10 inch shot group in at 400yds (roughly) with the 357 and 8 inch barrel. Guys I was with thought I was lying... they couldn't see the target. I made them get it for me.

@freemo , so NOT a great weapon for self defense.... I doubt it didn't misfeed every other magazine.... Even with the best ammo.
