I think I'm addicted to guns. I am in the market for a new gun, but not positive which one I want. I have been looking at the Henry .22 lever rifle, and also an AR-15 in .223. I know completely different rifles, but can only get one right now. Which would you get and why.

I think most of us here have this problem to some extent!
No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

I'd get the AR (matter of fact I did). Pick one up before some knucklehead in Washington decides to ban them. I bought two lower receivers this week for future builds - JUST to make sure I have the "firearm" part purchased. Went with a Mega MA-TEN Billet for a .308 build and a Mega forged AR15 lower for a 5.56 build.

I think I'm going to go with an AR in .223. Looking for a good deal on a used one. I would try and build one but not never done that so i'm looking for a completed one.

LOL, I spent about 2 hours the other day and added up all my firearm/hunting expenses of the past year. I managed to spend all my 2010 budget and half my 2011 budget already.

I allow myself 1 gun a year and all the accesories that I want/need for that gun, I do this so I don't feel guilty. The rest of the guns I buy that year I just make excuses for so I don't feel so guilty. Usually come out ~$3,500. working on buying gunsafe #2, and that will not be factored into the gun fund, we will call that a home improvement/furniture fund.

The ARs are super fun, you can change it to fit your needs real easy.
