[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 117236, member: 983"] Some good points brought up. Here is my personal opinion- 1- Your $700 price range is good. Still a quality gun to interest people yet keep costs reasonable. 2- AR's will bring money but a quality bolt action rifle is the widest appeal. Either work with a dealer that will allow you to choose calibers or stick with something common. You will turn away folks with an oddball caliber. 3- Make sure it is a well known brand name. I know a group that did a raffle on a nice Howa last year. Howa is not well known in the area and they struggled with ticket sales. 4- Raffles with limited tickets seem to do better IMO. Give a discount for multiple tickets. Do the math here and make the most of it but keep the tickets reasonable. 5- I am personally not a fan of pistols on raffles, just not enough interest from the common folk. 6- If I had to pick, I'd find a nice 700 Remington rifle or similar. For shotguns, an A300 Beretta or other 3" semi auto will sell you tickets through brand recongnition and the semi auto feature. Few will be bothered they can't shoot roman candles out of it! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
