I was reading a few reviews on rifles and someone said something like "If I lost my guns in a fire, I would go out and buy X tomorrow..."
Anyway, it made me think of this question. If there was a fire, and you lost your gun collection, what would you go out and buy/replace first?
I think I'd say the Rem 700 BDL I inherited from my grandfather. The sentimental value wouldn't be there, but the rifle would!

X2...Then I would buy a Ruger M77 stainless .270win with a Hogue stock and 3.5-10x40 VariX III; not the fanciest gun I own but damn sure the best.

I'd get another Tikka T3 Hunter in 25/06, but top it with something nicer than the Nikon 4.5-14x40 that's on it now, probably a VXIII in the same power range

Depends on what kind of insurance money I get from 1972 mobile home.
Probably an .22 rifle, handgun, and a .270 rifle next step up from my first and only deer rifle which is a Rem 770.

For that kind of money, 2700.00 I would look to buy a Wilson, Baer or Ed Brown. http://www.lesbaer.com/Hemi572.htmlMy short list would be a Sig 226 9mm, Ruger 22 pistol, Spike's, BCM or DD AR, Beretta semi-auto shotgun 20ga and a Tikka in 6.5x55SE.

Had a chance to buy a used Brown special forces for about 500 more than what I paid for my TRP....nah. Shane
