I'm trying to figure out what guns to get to maximize skill progression, fun and stretch my dollar. I travel down to TX for work frequently, and shoot when I can and have realized that while I'm a detail / precision oriented guy who can shoot a .22 all day, I need something that goes Bang every once in a while. A recent experience with a 2-stage AUG seemed to scratch that itch nicely for a moment.
Budget wise, I'd like to start with a pistol and rifle for around $1,500. So far, I'm leaning toward a used SW41 or a Volquartsen Mark IV, and a new CZ 527 chambered in either 5.56 or 7.62 (my range is 200 yards) on iron sights.
With the pistol, I figure that I can get good volume out of the .22, and will never outgrow the gun's accuracy. It will allow me to progress on fundamentals.
With the rifle, I can conserve ammo, while also have some more fun with the louder chambering, and continue to work on irons fundamentals with the intermediate chambering. My range goes out to 200 yards. WIll an FVT with diopters or a 457 be a better buy here? I can see that being a better learner gun, but just less fun. How will you guys recommend this n00b get started?
