Every couple of years there is usually a massive explosion of activity in gun stores all over the nation. It's usually the fear amid the political landscape that fuels this, as citizens clear the shelves of ammunition due to their fears of what's to come.
This constant fear also leads to a sharp rise in prices since manufacturers begin to struggle with keeping up with supply and demand. Of course, the result is this is also felt in the pocketbooks for those of us who were late to the show.
If you're seeking to include a few new firearms in your life — or maybe it's your first gun purchase — chances are you may be keeping these prices in mind.
If you think about it, what's the point of having a gun if it's impossible to afford even to fire it? If what happens if a person is trying to stock up for that emergency scenario? Well, then you'll need to get as many rounds as possible for not a lot of money.
On the next slide learn about some advice as to what some of the best guns are for an excellent price.

Pick a few weapons that will have the same ammunition that our military uses and the enemy uses.
Brand names don’t equate to cheap ammo, and one isn’t even a rifle.
FYI I would never recommend a RAS-47 to a friend. I love AKs. But the RAS is made with crappy metal and will lose headspace within 5000 rounds (there are some reports as early as 1500) and when it loses headspace it becomes a ticking time bomb just waiting for an out of battery detonation.
such a great page
The Ruger 10/22 is a fantastic choice. .22LR is cheap and sometimes easy to find. It is a great weapon to practice shooting with and pretty simple to clean and take care of. Aftermarket parts are plentiful. It can be used for everything from varmint control to self defense, and even deer hunting if push comes to shove.
The AK and variants are great weapons as well. Ammo is plentiful and cheap. Reliability is top notch. They catch a lot of flak for being less accurate than the AR-15/M-16 but don’t let that put you off. With a little practice and some idea of it’s range limitations, which aren’t all that bad actually, the AK won’t let you down.
The Beretta Storm, not exactly what most would consider a rifle… but it has a rifled barrel so it counts. Actually there are a lot of 9mm weapons that are very good. If you are looking for something with a little more range, but uses the 9mm check out KelTec and HiPoint both make carbines that use pistol rounds… and I’ve owned one of the HiPoints in .40S&W. At 100 yrds I went shot for shot with an AK owner.
The .357 carbine makes a good case for itself, but it is still a pistol cartridge. I’d recommend something more along the lines of the 30-30, but if you want something that shares cartridges with weapons you already have use something like the carbines in the last paragraph, but go for the .40S&W. You’ll have good range, good accuracy, and good punch.
My standout pick here if you only wanted one weapon that was cheap to fire and very versatile is the Ruger 10/22. It’s an inexpensive weapon, has good accuracy at a reasonable range, cheap ammo, and you can easily kill a person with it if you have to. Great all around weapon. Also for consideration, these things are EVERYWHERE so replacement parts should be relatively easy to scavenge.
lets not forget the lonely sks…a 10 round reliable semi auto in .30 cal that shoots dirty but cheap ammo at about 20 cents per round in bulk
I was shocked, it was not a G17!! Lol
Handgun, shotgun, deer rifle, small game rifle. anything else is overkill. but of course having a stockpile just means you like guns
All 4 are great choices.
Of course my opinion differs except the 10/22, but I would not feel unarmed with all those Fire arms. All will do the job, and do it well.
No Mosin?
Mosin and sks both should be in there
