What rifle for 40th Birthday?

[RVTECH]

You may not have ever considered this but have you ever found one particular style of gun more relaxing to shoot over another? If so you might want to factor that in. An example would be I do not find it at all relaxing to stick hi cap mags in a semi - auto and just blaze away - but it is relaxing to to take my lever guns out and see how far I can hit something with open sights. I find shooting my black powder guns very relaxing. Very relaxing to shoot an accurate S & W .38 revolver. Maybe something to think about before you make a decision.

Get a Bohica .50 BMG .... less than $1,400 ....

I'm turning 40 later this month and got the "go ahead" to buy a new rifle. Budget must stay under $2K for everything. (rifle, scope, ammo, accessories, etc) My first thought is to go with a Bushmaster AR-15 E2S A3 M4 Type Patrolman's Carbine. I have been drooling over this for almost a year now. Then I started thinking that maybe I should look around before I pull the trigger on the AR-15 and see what else I might enjoy.

I welcome all suggestions. I will primarily be shooting at the range and various wilderness type shooting areas. Will likely never use it for hunting, but I guess it could happen as my 11 year old gets into his teens. Thanks!
