Title says it all...
For some background, I already have: Sig226 in 9mm, 1911, LWRC M6A3 in 6.8 (i.e. piston AR), S&W 500 (scoped), Benelli SuperSport 12ga, Walther G22, Browning Buckmark 22LR (with mini red dot).
I can't decide if my next purchase should be:
(1) Bolt action rifle & scope (I almost made this choice on the last go 'round, but ended up with the AR-15 platform rifle AND the Walther G22 instead, both of which I really enjoy); I don't want to spend too much here and this is probably one of the more expensive possibilities right now
(2) Scope for the AR-15 platform [I presently have an Eotech XPS3-0 + Magnifier setup]
(3) Mossberg 590A 9 shot 12 gauge; this Mossberg is kinda ugly, so I wouldn't mind it getting beat up (the Benelli I have is beautiful, but not a SHTF scenario shotgun given it's low capacity and massive size)
(4) 357 magnum S&W TRR8 revolver; upon which lights & lasers could be added the next time I get bored and need to upgrade something; I would really like another revolver (besides my S&W500), but ammo is still a bit too expensive in this caliber to be willing to shoot it enough to make it worthwhile (including 38 special)
(5) compound bow (not sure where I'd practice with it, but my bro-in-law is a huge fan of bows)
(6) sword of some type (yeah, I'm not kidding... like the good book says, swords don't run out of ammo) -- where can you even buy a REAL sword? I'm talking about something Katana-like, not a broadsword (as if I need to say that) -- I'd spend $1000 on something decent (what price range do these go for -- i.e. what's the Sig Sauer of swords cost these days?) [good answers found here]
What am I missing? What other itches that I don't know I need to scratch should I be scratching?
