Advice on what to buy next

[u/OrangeWinston1]

It’s 4 years I have my PAL. I hunt, go to the range and I shoot clay pigeons. I currently have 3 guns
-1970 Browning BAR 30-06 Belgium
-1990’s Winchester 1300 XTR 12Gauge
-Savage 64F 22LR
I just replenished my gun fund (~2000$)and I’d like to buy a new to me firearm. I’d like a to start a collection but a lot of interesting guns are now banned. I was thinking on a Ruger 10/22 takedown because it’s cool and perfect for a SHTF situation. I have decided to come here and ask what you guys and girls think would be a good addition. Maybe I’m missing something. All suggestions are valid. Thank you in advance

1. You got your full power rifle (how do you like your bar btw? I seen the old intersurplus ones and get tempted to buy one)

2. You got your shotgun, for slugs and clay shooting and everything in between

3. You got your 22lr rifle doe cheap shooting

So  what's next?

Option 1. Intermediate rifle!  Something like a 7.62 x39 or a 223! Still cheap, but decent range and power. You can go semi auto with an Sks or an Alcor or other Turkish semi.  You can go lever action with a henry supreme. You can go bolt action (probably the cheapest  other than the sks) and get a howa, or tikka, or ruger or CZ in 223 or 7 62 x39.  It's pretty fun. Or you can even go pump action for a 223.

Option 2.  Go pistol caliber!  The only semi Option is the Henry Homesteader  in 9mm.  You can also go 45 Acp/45 LC with  a Sulan SR45 revolver rifle for a unique gun.  Or, the biggest category, grab a Lever action rifle!   356 or 44mag or 45 lc, 356 is the cheapest. They are fantastic and  so so fun.  Oh and now there is even a bolt action and a pump action from Derya.   These guns have leas range than the Intermediate rifle, but sometimes have cheaper ammo or at least similar ammo I. THe case of 45acp, 9mm and 38 special/357.  The 45lc and 44mag will be more expensive.

So those are my  two suggestions. You still got a lot to choose from. Action,  from semi auto, to bolt action, to lever action or pump action and even revolver. What action are you thinking of trying or are curious about?? And then you gotta decide if you want an intermediate rifle round or a pistol round.  You answer those 2 questions and I'll give you a more direct suggestion!!!
