My wish list.

[Timothy]

I think this post is gonna create a few drool pools on keyboards.

Oh, and thanks Haz for the link....another thing I probably can't do for a while but....ya never know!

Still eying a lever gun someday soon....there's just something about the lumber and blued receiver and barrel.  I can play with Mikes (SIL) toys all I want but I'm still the nostalgic one for the older firearms and reproductions.

OK,...seriously,...

CheyTac .408



Sometimes .338 Lapua Magnum is not enough...

[Big Frank]

Those are some nice choices. I have to add the Coonan to my list. I didn't know they were making them again.

I'll have to try to remember to check them out at the NRA show.

Right, because that 1000 yard range will get upgraded to 1600 and you'll be able to feed an even more exotic caliber? I mean for god's sake, when you stop needing a spotter, and start needing a forward observer, enough already.

KPR,  Did Ruger make a 4" 45 Colt Redhawk?  I have a 5" and it was not easy to find.

Maybe this one?  I think it'd be cool to get one and have it converted to .45acp.

BAC, 45 ACP is a decent round, and its as common as dirt. But would it still be able to use the rimmed round ?  45Colt has the advantage of being quite a bit more potent when loaded with smokeless powder, and if you run short of smokeless you can reload with black powder and still get decent performance.
I will grant you that 45 ACP in a revolver makes speed loaders unnecessary because of the clips

They must have started making them again semi-recently.  A few years back when I was looking a Redhawk in .45 was a little rare and I THINK 5.5 was as short as they got.

Only thing I don't like about the 4 is the rubber grip.
