I wish they'd make...

[2wheelDuke]

There's no doubt that there's a ton of diversity in the current firearms market. Even with all the variety on the shelves, every possibility still isn't covered. Some ideas live on but others fade away.

When Ruger made the Gunsite Scout, I wished they'd make it stainless, with a longer barrel, and in lefty. When that came true, I had to have one.

When I look at the Kel-Tec Sub 2000, the first thing that comes to mind is that I want one in .45acp that used Glock 21 mags. I'd also be interested in one that took Glock 29/20 mags for a 10mm carbine. I bet a .45acp Sub 2000 that took 1911 mags would fly off the shelves too. The problem is that the 9mm and .40 Sub 2000's seem to be selling as fast as they build them already, so I don't see where Kel-Tec would spend the time to expand the line at this time.

What do you guys wish that they'd build?

[NVScouter]

I like the I wish idea:

There are these Glock-ish carbines and made in 9/40/45 and 18" barrels...I'd love one in 10mm for a short hunting tumper. I've heard its been adressed and the reciever wont hold up.

Ruger American in 257 or 25-06, 260.

H&R BC to re-run 38-55 barrels in 28-33"

AR-15 upper in 250-3000

CZ 527 American 250-3000

Ruger Gunsite 20" fluted semi heavy barrel 338 Federal.

[Love Life]

Ruger Gunsite with 18" barrel chambered in 338 Federal. That gun and cartridge combo would be fantastic!!

[357Mag]

An 8-shot S & W .357Mag, on a " fixed sight " "N"-frame; w/ 4 barrel


Savage " Factory Classic " .250Savage, w/ a 24 - 26" barrel


Kel-Tech folding rifle chambered in things like " 7 X 33 Sako " and " 8mm Kurz "


H & R SB2 in .35Rem, as a regularly-produced ( standard ) factory made product

I wish Leupold would continue making quality FIXED POWER scopes in 2,3,4 and 6 power! I guess variable high power, grossly over-sized objectives, tactical looking, lighted reticle, ranging, mil dot/stadia lined, big knobbed scopes sell. :x

[Piedmont]

A .358 Winchester bolt action with a 1-14 or 1-16" twist. That is the only thing that kept me from buying one of those Rugers two summers ago from CDNN. Would prefer a wooden stock and blued finish.

A .22 Hornet made right, with 1-14 twist, a tight chamber, a recoil lug for bedding purposes, a throat that isn't overly long, a magazine that is long enough to match the throat when rounds are seated to engrave, and a safety that works in the right direction.

A scope reticle sort of like the Burris Ballistic Plex, but with the hashmarks going all the way down to the bottom of the field of view. Just do away with the duplex on all four sides, too. Perhaps every fifth hashmark could be longer. It would be a perfect long range plinker. Combined with a lazer rangefinder it would be deadly in the field at longer ranges, too. A perfect cast bullet scope.

[Artful]

Ruger Gunsite with 18" barrel chambered in 338 Federal. That gun and cartridge combo would be fantastic!!

And how about a stainless version with 1/2x28 threaded 18" barrel chambered in 358 WCF.

[like it all]

A Ruger 77/357 maximum, or the old No.3 single shot in 44 mag.

[Love Life]

Sure. Why not? I'd like to see better tolerances on the rifle as well. The couple I have played with in gunstores had really sloppy bolts and tended to bind when cycling them. The cycling them smartly advice is for the birds as Winchester, FN, and Remington bolt actions work fine whether you cycle them like a weak kneed sissy or like Conan the Barbarian.

[Bullshop Junior]

I would like to see 17" barrels for the NEF singleshots. I would also like to see a NEF barrel in 45 ACP. Id like to see ruger bring back the PC carbine but in 45. And i would love a Ruger hawkeye in 358 Norma Magnum.

I wouldn't mind seeing the H&R 35 remington.....

[StrawHat]

I would like a lever action rifle chambered in 45 ACP. Either an 1892 clone or a Marlin 1894.

Now you've got me thinking and that never ends well...... I think my buddy has a 94 in 44mag he bulged the barrel on....yoi could hold a lot of ammo in that full leanth tube....hmmmmmm....

[dnepr]

More left hand bolt guns with good iron sites ,

[Love Life]

I'd be happy with more bolt guns with iron sites...period.

[Janoosh]

Hopkins and Allen, Junior series, rifle actions or rifles. With interchangable barrels, in small pistol calibers. 32,38 S+W, 32/20, 25/20, 25 hornet, nothing magnumized. Beeches front or a Lyman globe like a 17axnb, standard barrel sight, ladder peep on the wrist. Just a great walking around, plinking at the range, close in varmints, rifle. Modern steel and process' make this possible.

[Hickory]

I'd like to see Ruger make the 10/22 in a 5.7x28, with a 30 round magazine.

[Dthunter]

Lol! A high Ballistic Coefficient, Ballitic Tipped, Nosler Partition! Hows that for a pipe dream!?

[carbine86]

I love the 45acp cartridge its my favorite among semi auto pistol calibers. That keltwc 2000 i want one so bad in 45acp i can smell powder burnin.

[garym1a2]

single stack glock 9mm compact with a thin slide.
ruger guide gun in 30-06 lefty!

[koehlerrk]

Things I wish they made:

Marlin 1894 in 9mm Luger
Marlin 1894 in 10mm
A bolt-action 45-70

[UBER7MM]

Poor man's version would be a Yugo M48 and a hacksaw!

Things do change, but when I talked to the Kel-tec folks directly a few years ago about it, they said they never would. I really hope they change their minds on that one.

I'd love for S&W to make a 616. That is a SS version of the old model 16.

[waco]

I would like a lever action rifle chambered in 45 ACP. Either an 1892 clone or a Marlin 1894.

That would be cool!

[koehlerrk]

Got a couple more to add to the list:

Kel-Tec Sub 2000 in 22LR that used Ruger 10/22 mags
A nice compact bolt-action rifle in 6.8 SPC or 300 Blackout.

[Love Life]

Poor man's version would be a Yugo M48 and a hacksaw!

True. It would be kind of cool to make a necked up 308 to .323/8mm. That would be cool.

[Harter66]

Any repeating rifle in 460 S&W,a 336 would have been really nice. The better yet would be if it would feed Schofields,Colts and Casuall. Being able to shoot 45 Cowboys and 410s a total bonus.

A DA revolver that any body could swap cyl on and be able to handle all of the cartridges in a caliber family,IE,9x17,19,21,23,38 auto/super,38 Win Mag,38/357 mag or 45 GAP/ACP/AR/Rowland/mag ,cowboy,Schofield/Colts/Casaull. Maybe the 40 family.

[samwithacolt]

A cheap blow back carbine in 9mm/.40 or .45 like the Ruger PC 9 or the Marlin camp carbines.

[TheGrimReaper]

For me it would be Savage/Remington bolt action in 6.5 Grendel
Marlin to re-introduce 1894 in .41 magnum
Ruger 41/77 bolt action
More 1911's in 10MM
Savage/Remington bolt actions in 6.5x55SE
Ruger American in .222, .223, 260 Rem, and 6.5x55SE
Ruger Redhawk in .41 magnum
S&W model 25-5 in 45 colt 4" BBL again
I'll think of more later.

[TheGrimReaper]

Things I wish they made:

Marlin 1894 in 9mm Luger
Marlin 1894 in 10mm
A bolt-action 45-70
Yep on the 45-70.

[P.J.Plinkerton]

A Ruger 77/5.7
A Marlin camp carbine in any 30 cal. pistol (Mauser, luger, tokarev)
+1 on the thin single stack auto.
P.J.

[Prospector Howard]

Try the Hi-Point carbine. They're inexpensive and they work. I shoot the heck out of my 9mm. Kind of ugly tho. The newer models are not as ugly as the original planet of the apes looking guns.

How about a slightly scaled down K-98 Mauser chambered in .223 or 7.62x39. I think the K-98 is the best all around bolt action rifle ever made to shoot with iron sights (love the tangent sights). How cool would it be to have it in .223 or 7.62x39?

I'd pick up a Hi Point carbine for sure if they made one that took Glock magazines.

[Jailer]

How about a slightly scaled down K-98 Mauser chambered in 300 Blk

There, fixed it for ya. ;)

Would also love a sub 2k in 45 that uses Glock mags. Kel-Tec has also told me they have no plans to produce one.

[waco]

Things I wish they made:

Marlin 1894 in 9mm Luger
Marlin 1894 in 10mm
A bolt-action 45-70

Yes! A Ruger 77 .45-70 18" barrel ss and syn. stock.

[snoopy]

How about an AR 45/70? Couldn't be a weak kneed sissy to even carry one of those w/a belt full of 30rnd mags. HA!

It's already out there, it's called a 450 Bushmaster.

[snoopy]

Dang! i'm glad I don't have one, my lead inventory wouldn't last long!

[digger44]

Ruger did make one ^^^^

That sort of talk makes me wish I had the capital to start a gun company.
