What guns do you guys want next?

[devzal]

Really, I'd like a free one for a change.

[sledgemeister]

Hmmmm of what I am allowed I would like

BFR in .444 or .454 (pref .444)
Ruger GP100 (dunno why i havent got one already - most underated revolver ever)
New lyman baby sharps in 38.55 (after all we only need one shot down under  )
Barrett 98b with appropriate LR optics
Ruger #1 chambered in 505 gibbs (for shits and giggles)

If was allowed semi's then list be 2x as big starting with a tricked up AR15

What is insidious in this hobby is that, no matter how many guns I have in the collection, there is always a long list of others that I want.  

I think it is driven by why you buy guns.  If hunting deer and pheasants are the primary purposes, you could be pretty well served by 1 or 2 rifles and 1 or 2 shotguns.  Any new wants are likely driven by big changes in technology.  If you are an African big game hunter, you could get specialized gun for different classes of beast.  If history and/or a fascination with the mechanics/artistry/variations of the piece are you interests, you can easily create a never ending list.

Here's my current wish list.  Case in point == I hadn't updated this for several months and had to delete 3 that I've recently bought.  But I added about 6 more that have recently caught my fancy.

High Priority
•   Marlin 1895SBL, .45-70
•   Ruger Mk III Target, 22 LR (so my son can “officially” take my Mk II)
•   Springfield Armory XD9 Sub-Compact, 9x19mm
•   Ruger Blackhawk, .357 Mag
•   CZ 550 American, 6.5x55mm
•   Ruger Redhawk, .45 Colt
•   Winchester 1895, 30-06 (so I can convert it to .35 Whelen)
•   Israeli HB FAL, 7.62x51mm
•   Winchester and a IHC M1 Garand
•   1873 Winchester, 20” octagonal bbl, .45 Colt
•   Springfield SOCOM Scout M1A, 7.62x51mm
•   Webley MkIV, .45
•   S&W 625, .45 ACP

Lower Priority
•   Martini Henry
•   1942 Johnson, .30-06
•   1860 Army, .44 BP
•   1858 Remington, .44 BP
•   Ruger New Vaquero or USFA, 5.5”, .45 Colt
•   S&W M66-5 .357 Magnum
•   CZ 550 American .375 H&H
•   Remington Rolling Block, 7x57mm (?)
•   Italian Carcano, 6.5mm
•   Sig 556 Classic, 5.56x45mm (jury is out on this one)
•   Bushmaster ACR, 5.56x45mm or 6.8 SPC (jury is out on this one)

Maybe FAL, AR10

9 mm CCW pistol

.44 Ruger Blackhawk
Ruger Redhawk .45 Colt with 5.5 inch barrel
Blued Redhawks.

Any Clemets, Bowen, Harton, Gallagher, Stroh, Horvath, etc. custom revolver.

And when I hit the lottery:

So many guns, so little time or money.  
Firearms are my mistress.



 

BW - we gotta hit the range together again sometime so you can play with some of these on your wish list...and become even more lustful of getting them

You are always welcome to shoot any other these in my collection:
M1A -- maybe mine will even work this time now that I have the gas vale turned the right way!
M1 Garand -- 3 of them but they are all SA's
.308 Ishapore - got one of these ugly Betty's also
Ruger in 6.5x55 -- ooh, I want one too
Maybe FAL-- wait, did I ake youan FAL lover?
.44 Ruger Blackhawk - we can shoot some of my hot loads out of my .45 Colt Blackhawk
Thompson - just a semi but you can get an idea of the weight and heft

You mean they made the MKIII Harder to reassemble than the MKII?
