Buy recommendations What should be my next arsenal addition?

In my arsenal so far i have two 22lr’s and one 6.5 creedmoor. Im debating if i should buy another rifle but don’t know in what calibre. I’m 100% gonna buy a shotgun to add so that is out the discussion. I saw that i can buy a 9mm semi auto and a new 5.56 semi auto as well i believe. What would be your move on this decision.

Thanks

I'm still a fan of the sks.  Buy one, maybe pop a red dot and mini rail on it. Maybe be adventurous and do a tna magwell adaptor for pistol mags. All in probably close to a thousand bucks.

I'd honestly be tempted to catch a Henry Homesteader on sale. Catching one for 1k on sale. Hard to beat when other options are more than twice that.

Otherwise, I'd grab a Alcor. Thats because I like the wood though. Either way, it's likely good for an easy 300 meters or more, which is further out than the Sks or the Henry.

Those would be my 3, all around 1000-1500 bucks, which is sort of my own personal limit right now for guns.  As much as I'd like the new 223 semi autos, 2.5k is out of my price range, especially for a gun that risks being banned.

But, aside from all of that, if you aren't sold on a semi auto, why not grab a cheaper 357 Lever action! I personally find them more fun than my Sks.  Rossi r92 and Citadel Levtacs go on sale for 1k or less,  depending if you want traditional looks or tactical. I personally have the Citadel and love it. The peep sight and rail for a red dot are both lovely.
