What guns would you like to see in a gun raffle?

[C.O. Shooter]

Here is a ticket from a local fire department. It is a 50$ ticket and based off of the PA Lottery. You get four numbers (example - 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001). I have purchased these for the last 5 years or so. In the past, they had a Barrett and or a Bushmaster .50 Cal as the big prize. I know they had trouble the last two years finding guns and or a shop to sponsor the ticket.

….and where do I buy my ticket?

My thought goes to the old adage "know your clientele".
Wisconsin hunters:
30-06 anything
30/30 lever action maybe SS/laminate
12 waterfowl semi maybe new Savage or Benelli
.22 or .17 bolt - nice one
S&W .357 686+ would be different and great carry for deer hunting. Good luck finding one!

 

[Rhett Crider]

I would definitely include 2 boxes of ammo for what you choose.

^^^This!^^^ In addition, work with your local gun stores. They might even donate or provide a discount towards your cause. At least 4 LGS in my community do this multiple times a year for various fundraising efforts. Good luck!

In my experience, most gun raffles have the wrong guns to drive ticket sales.

You need the eye popper model of popular types of guns to drive ticket sales.

 

[Rhett Crider]

Browning, Tikka, Weatherby, Winchester EW should fall in to your catagory and maybe a 357 stainless revolver? 270, 30-06, 6.5CM, 300WM, maybe a PRC?

 

[Wisconsinvette]

Ones with ammo on the shelf.

I am putting together a gun raffle for my volunteer fire department.
I am looking for suggestions on guns to put in the raffle.
Planning on 5 guns, and spending a total of around $7000 on them.
Any suggestions?

IMHO, Craig puts it best; we/LRH members will have different rifles in mind from your local fundraising supporters. I personally support gun raffle/fundraising efforts in my local community regardless of guns.

Ok here is my list.
1 Remington 870 Every American should have this gun. 500.00
1 Benelli Super Black Eagle 1700.00
1 Glock 19 Every American should have this gun. 600.00
1 AR15 Daniel Defense DDM4 Every American should have this gun. 2000.00
1 Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor 799.00
1 Ruger 10/22 600.00 Every American should have this gun.

This is under budget with one more gun, so take the rest and feed the firefighters.

All good answers here and FEENIX and Muddy Boots said, what we may be looking for here may not push sales locally. Although after reading this I just cleaned out 12 old raffle tickets from under the till drawer that had expired. Can't help myself when it's a gun raffle.

Nice Friday Flex! Haha I have never won a raffle, but that has never stopped me from entering them. I also have never bought a 6.5 CM but if I win one I will keep it.
