If you go by the list that you have listed, my amount is way over any price listed there, rifle and optics put me at $1600, but when you add all the other equipment like reloading, ammunition, cases and other supplies I'd go way over any price on the poll.

Last one was under 1000. 400 for Savage Axis pkg, 100 for Rifle Basix trigger, 300 for used Leupold VXII, 100 for new bases and rings. 100 or so for 308 dies, pound of powder, box of bullets.
The next one will probably be more than a grand. I'm guessing 600 for rifle 500 for scope.... I really would rather not cheap out on another rifle.

For me,, usually 900-1500 for the gun and 900-1500 for the scope plus dies, I don't count reloading stuff as they all got to be fed something. Oh and 60-90 for a sling plus scope mounts,, it just keep going up lol,, oh and a cleaning rod or kit,,possibly a limb saver and a trigger, Boyd's sure makes a nice stock, hmmmm. A chrono to tune the thing, there,,,, I think that should do it.

Two out of the last 4, were over 500.00 each for the reloading supplies, that was just brass and dies. Three of them were new calibers, that also needed bullets, one needed a mould, one only needed dies, as I still had brass for it.
Four of the last five scopes were under 1000, two just barely. Only two of the last 7 guns were under 1000.00.
But, I have been acquiring different stuff than most people.

That reloading equipment gets expensive. I have a few sets of dies that I need to buy rifles for. Lol

Shocked looks from liberals when they hear he has a .50
Last rifle was $1000, optics $650, plus all the goodies.
