Got $5k to spend on myself - what should I do?

[RockAndSage]

I’m pretty traditional, but I think the wooden RokStok looks great.

If you don’t like that, get a Sako, suppressor, and nice optic.

But, at my age, I would put it towards a course or starting a new hobby where I might meet interesting people.

This really is one of the best looking RSS's I've seen on here. I wonder if there's someone around who could make a leather suppressor cover out of the one that's on there...

If you don’t already know what to spend it on, and it sounds like you don’t, I would save it until you do.

Hunting/fishing trip, shooting class, visit some friends, snag a suppressor or two.

Preach brother. I was once told, the fun is in wanting. Once you have, you have all the problems that come along with it

You’re talking about women, right?

I remember someone asked this question in the past and @Swamp Fox said something to the affected of;

"Spend $2k on women and the rest on Binocular harnesses."

Still member laughing my ass off at that.

LOL ... I'm just glad I can contribute something useful around here every once in a while ...

@TXHunt had $5-6000 to go toward a hunt and was looking for ideas a while back.

My actual advice (still true today, including inflation adjustments) was this:

I'd spend $2000 on some type of doctor-recommended conditioning program and I'd blow the rest on women and binocular harnesses ...

Apparently a lot of people felt this was helpful ... LOL

Personally, I would put $4,000 towards debts - student loans and credit cards for me. Then I would use the other $1000 for a DIY fall hunt and bring your wife along. Stay a night in a hotel on the way home and get some good food.

If no debts and everything else is squared away then I would put that towards a hunt for an animal you havent hunted before. Sounds like you are out west, so maybe a whitetail hunt.

im throwing that in a piggy bank and when that thing pops up that I really want or need it would be there.

 

[REWIND]

I would try to find the best 12 gauge x large rifle caliber drilling for 5K or a side by side safari rifle if they come in that price range. I probably would never have any practical use for either, but dang it would be fun.

 

[Lowedown]

buy an experience or a memory! if you have the guns and gear you need then go on a hunt or a trip. what is a hunt you are interested in? go do it!!! there are alot of things you can do for 5k!

 

[arrow179]

Buy land or at least save up and have a good down payment. Been the best investment I ever made 25 years ago.

lol what’s he going to do invest in an acre or a few. Buying land has changed a little in the last 25 years

Gotta start somewhere. Hard to have a down payment if you spend it all…

 

[WhatToHunt]

I'd take the wife to an all inclusive in Mexico and still have money leftover for the hunting toys. Everybody wins.

I've got an 18" threaded Fieldcraft in .308 wearing a NF NX8 2.5-20 with your name on it, and you will have money left to spend on ammo. Could get you pictures later.

 

[Stache Attack]

Revic RF and shoot 2 hunt course( or dump it all into s2h Africa trip)

You don’t need rifles or pistols, I think I’d stay with that cynergy feather over a semi.

I’m terrible at spending money on me so I’d put it to principal on my house I think

 

[ArrowForester]

Put it on Broncos to win the Super Bowl. +800, for a nice $40k
Then your opportunities open a bit.

No offense @Riplip but I hope he didn’t take your advice. And hopefully you were conservative yourself.

 

[partsunavailable]

I didnt read it all, but did anyone metion to start reloading. $5K is about the perfect amount to get started.
