OK, you won the lottery, first rifle?

An old flip flop works for anything related to spiders.

That’s cool. As long as the animal has the word spider in front of it and I don’t have to do any hard work.

The company was for sale not too long ago. Only $5 million IIRC.

Buy that and expand manufacturing to include other falling block singleshots & classics sporting rifles, special run pistols, etc.

I could see having that as a tax write off.

Bespoke rifle companies often times deal in razor thin profit margins due to high overhead & personnel costs. Adding the increased tooling and manufacturing equipment we'd need to make the P08 Parabellum in 45 ACP as well as creating a Wilson Combat style armory for pistols made from only steel would make that overhead & personnel expenditure very large, and since I'll be almost a billionaire, I'll need this endeavor to operate at a loss for at least a few years in order to hide my purchases of soviet era jets, destroyers & helicopters.

I’ll run do that. BRB

Ohh, I’d also finally get that bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and pair it with a delicious Diet Coke

Pretty sure you're going to hell just for typing that

I'd build a factory and start reproducing the Model 99 Savage.. only just in 6.5 CM so to PO the traditionalists

 

[Tikka06]

It would be a custom model 70 stainless in 308 with a number 3 fluted barrel in a McMillan featherweight pattern with a jewel trigger.

I watched a documentary on Netflix last night about some dudes who tried to buy a submarine off the Ruskies for the Cali Cartel. The commies offered them a nuke too.

We're thinking way too small here folks.

Anyone need a ride to spring bear camp?

Could you imagine the horror? And people say January 6th was a dark day in history.

Then I would be sending the 4” x12”x 7’ piece of black walnut my grandfather cut back in about 1970 off to my friend for as many matching custom .243’s as he can get out of the wood. Hopefully, six. One for me and one for each of my children.

By far the best response.

John Rigby & Co., London Best in 275 Rigby. Grade 11 walnut stock, full scrollwork and white gold inlay. Per the website this rifle would come in just a hair under $110,000. Might as well go all in right?

You beat me to it there, but having never had that sort of money before I would find it hard to part with that much new money, so I would probably look at a Westley Richards, they do have some stunning rifles.
Cheers
Richard

That place is just way too cool, I could wander around there for a month or two!

 

[JShane]

Matched pair of Fausti 24 gauge side by sides with engraving with gold inlay, chambered in 3 inch 28 inch barrels. Then hand load my shells with #8 TSS shot for ducks. Because I could. Then a matched pair of 24 gauge over under for upland.

 

[Sask hunter]

Some form of double rifle

 

[wytex]

I'd start with a Bighorn Armory 90 454 casull, then pick up a model 89.

 

[VOLhunter]

Dillon mini gun! (Chopper included)

Sounds perfect. I am a CPA and will come in at a very reasonable rate on the accounting and tax side.

I used to respect you...

 

[Wildabeest]

I’d shoot for the moon and attempt to talk @shrapnel into selling me his entire collection! I figure the odds of that are about the same as actually finding a rifle in stock at a store right now... Can’t buy what’s not for sale.
