Help me spend my bonus....

Buy a guitar or something else that will give some challenge and peace.

Buy some long term food in #10 cans that will last 30 years or so.

Take a weekend vacation.

Find someone who is with out work and mail it to them.
 
Get a Burris FastFireII (to put on your 22)... Midway & gang have 10%+ off deals now, so you can get it for $190 or better!
 
I would invest it unless you work in some recession-proof job with job security; otherwise, $190 isn't much - buy ammo or reloading gear
 
If you don't reload, you cannot enjoy the shooting sports to their fullest extent. Even if you are wealthy enough to buy all factory ammo, it's still a hoot to experiment with different powders, primers, bullets, etc.
Reloading enables more practice, and hence, more fun.
I'd suggest starting out with good Turret press. I'd avoid progressives for now.
 
1. Reloading equipment and supplies. I have found Lee equipment to be of
excellent quality for a very reasonable price!

2. Ammo!!!

3. PA 64 9X18. If you have a C&R license, they have just become C&R qualified.
SOG has them for $169+shipping, or if you have a Cabela's near you, they
have them for under $200, and they come with spare mag, holster, and
cleaning rod.

4. As stated before, put the money away to save for a really expensive gun
that you will probably never get because "something" always comes up and
you have to use the money for repairs of something.
 
Tuck half the money away so you can take your wife out for a nice "date night." Then spend the rest on ammo or a quality holster, if you need one.

Have a happy and safe July 4th. all:D
 
Not sure where you are, but that's a good number to take a handgun course - here in New England we have the Smith & Wesson and Sig Sauer Academies for example. :)

It's also right around the price of an action job for your favorite revover. :)
 
If $300 is unique enough that it requires special handling and decision making.....then that $300 should be in the bank.
 
Savings? Groceries?:barf:
Let's get real folks. This is a gun forum.

Buy 5000 cotton patches and a gallon of Hoppe's #9 and start your own gun cleaning business.:rolleyes:
 
Unless you happen by the deal of the century you aren't going to get anything worth a crap in a handgun for 190 bucks. My first suggestion would be reloading equipment especially if you enjoy shooting alot. Maybe another good idea would be grips and optic sights. A bonus is just that, a bonus. Something you wouldn't normally have. Spend it on something you want and will make you happy, you can invest in your savings with your normal money.:)
 
Exactly....

A bonus is just that, a bonus. Something you wouldn't normally have. Spend it on something you want and will make you happy, you can invest in your savings with your normal money.

I already save quite extensively through my normal paychecks AND this came as a gift card (can not "cash" it) so it was always going to be spent on something gun-related. I wound up buying a lot of 9mm ammo and (GASP) a take-down recurve bow with it - on sale at $89.00 from sportsmans guide. I figure the bow will make a great companion for those weekend-long shooting/camping trips when the ammo gets low and expensive - I can use arrows over and over and have always enjoyed archery.
