what do you NEED/WANT?

[6901]

I want a production bolt rifle in 7x57 and 257 Roberts.
Also 35 whelen
Howa, Savage, or Ruger would do.

[sharps4590]

A Meffert vierling in 16 X 16 over 7 X 65 Brenneke or 9.3 X 74R and under 5.6 X 35R Vierling. I may as well want a Bugatti Veyorn. I stand about as much chance of getting one as the other.

[dverna]

I want a .357 Mag bolt action in a $500 rifle

I want Ruger to produce the LCRx in 9mm with a 4" barrel

Don Verna

[marvelshooter]

Not a whole rifle but a 20" 300 Blackout barrel with carbine or longer gas for my AR.

[JSnover]

Been saying for years I want a mini Barrett: Scaled-down, chambered in .250 Savage. Would have been a neat trainer for the kids.

[koehlerrk]

How about a levergun that eats semi auto pistol ammo?
I'd love to see a Marlin 1894 in 9mm, 40S&W, or 45ACP, and I think the 9mm would be so much fun! Tube under a 20 inch barrel could hold 15-16 rounds... Fun plinker!

[Overalls87]

I want a single shot .38 special rifle. I have a serious fascination with this cartridge and truly believe it is " special" .

[Ickisrulz]

I want a production bolt rifle in 7x57 and 257 Roberts.
Also 35 whelen
Howa, Savage, or Ruger would do.

E.R. Shaw will make you any and all of those chamberings built on a Savage action for a reasonable price.

[GhostHawk]

I have enough, enough so that it takes me a while to count them all.

What I want, one of those new Henry Single Shot rifles, .44mag this year. Someday hopefully a .45lc.

What I would like, my old Win 94 rebored to 38-55 or 35-30-30.
Possibly a semi-auto .223 but most likely not an AR. Sorry I'm too old school to for AR gun gadget extreme bs.

Possibly a .44 mag or .357 mag or .45lc lever gun. Preferably Henry, possibly older marlin.

It is fun to dream.

[sghart3578]

I want a new Henry single shot 45-70. And a lever action in 45 Colt.

I am currently working on two projects that I want to finish in 2017:

A Mauser 98 action with a Rhineland 45 ACP kit.

A 45-70 built on a Siamese Mauser action.

When I get them done I will most likely sell them and move on to another must have project or use the money for a new factory rifle.


Steve in N CA

[shoot-n-lead]

As always, I want some more 44 specials...would like to have a 4 5/8 brl New Vaquero...no longer made and the few that were are hard to find and pretty expensive when you do find them. I prefer the SAA clones...but I would like to complete my set of Ruger's.

[runfiverun]

I want one of these [the timber] in the 6.5 creedmore for some reason.
I have the hunter in 30-06 and the only thing I don't like about it is the comb height.
okay that and the cheap scope I put on it, but the scope will get replaced.
the rifle deserves good glass, it will flat out shoot.

[MT Gianni]

My wife is not home so I can say I do not need anything. I would love to play with a 256 Newton, a 6x57 and if the right opportunity came along would look hard at a 480.

[izzyjoe]

I want an old model Ruger M77 RSI in 7-08, or a Rem 7600 in 7-08. Other than that I have enough to to keep me busy!

[Texas by God]

Time to mess with what I have. And a few more! Best, Thomas.

[oldblinddog]

I want:
Remington 700 SPS Varmint .260 Remington
Remington 700 SPS .338 Federal
Remington 700 SPS 6.8 SPC II

...and everything else!

[35 shooter]

Henry lever in 45 colt or maybe 44 mag., or the new Henry single shot in 45/70. Throw in a RBH or RH in 45 colt.
Wouldn't mind a 1873 win. in 44/40.

[Moonie]

I'm thinking a 6.5 creedmore MGM Encore rifle barrel.

[tdoyka]

I'm thinking a 6.5 creedmore MGM Encore rifle barrel.

i have it and i luv it!!!! MGM sure makes a nice barrel, i have 4 of them.

[RU shooter]

Not a whole rifle but a 20" 300 Blackout barrel with carbine or longer gas for my AR.
Just a few key strokes away http://www.x-caliber.net/custom-ar-barrel Few years ago I had I had a 20" 12 twist with carbine gas made by Ron Williams down in Fla. http://www.rmwxtreme.com shot well with just about every cast bullet and load I fed it .

[Ithaca Gunner]

I just want another good M-98 Mauser action, I'll take care of the rest. A .338/06 has been nagging at me for a long time.

[Moonie]

i have it and i luv it!!!! MGM sure makes a nice barrel, i have 4 of them.

So far I have 2, a 15" 500 S&W and a 7.5" full bull 300 BO threaded for my suppressor.

[308Jeff]

For Ruger to start producing the Police Carbine again.

Affordable/quality Winchester 94's in 357 again.

[liliysdad]

More fast twist, short barreled, threaded everything.

More 6 Creedmoor stuff.

22 Creedmoor OEM offerings.

Cheaper Creedmoor brass thats better than Hornady, but less than Lapua.

OEM fast twist 6x45s

More OEM AICS fed bolt guns.

Heavy, high BC .224 hunting bullets.

[MaLar]

I want a single shot .38 special rifle. I have a serious fascination with this cartridge and truly believe it is " special" .I'm working on a Stevens 44 right now

[tazman]

A good battle rifle(bolt action) in either 30-06 or 308. I have been thinking about a Remington 1917 Enfield. They are hard to find with good barrels these days.
I don't know if anyone ever built something similar in 308 or not. Any ideas about that?

[liliysdad]

Ruger Gunsite, Savage does make a pseudo Scout, and there is always the venerable Steyr in Scout, Hunter, and SSG formats.

On the whole, the bolt action "battle rifle" is dead, and for good reason. The only murmur of life is the Scout concept, and its on life support.

[tazman]

Oh, I have no intention of using it to fight with. I was just wanting it for nostalgic reasons, but was wanting it in good shootable condition.

[runfiverun]

they are out there Taz but your gonna spend 7-800 on one.

if you want a 308 version then a good looking chassis with a junk barrel would save you some cash to put towards the magazine modification and a new barrel.

[Love Life]

A No4 MK II in the mummy wrap.

Ouch! I wasn't expecting those numbers. The last time I had an interest in such rifles the prices were MUCH lower. Granted that was several years ago.
Perhaps I need to rethink this a bit.

I'd love a Proof Research in .30-06, 270, and .25-06. All topped off with premium glass, of course. I bet I have a better chance of winning the lotto, however.

[MT Chambers]

I think a lever gun like the Guide gun but in .500 S&W, or .450 Alaskan, 500 Alaskan.
Factory bolt gun in .30 Br.

[tazman]

And I thought what I wanted was expensive. Your talking $30,000 for all three at a minimum. Probably more depending on the optics.
Nice accuracy guarantee on the rifles.

[LUCKYDAWG13]

I'm kinda thinking about a savage http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/10FCPSR or maybe a scout http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/11Scout but right now I'm waiting to get my Ruger 9mm out of jail first then going to work on a Rifle

[725]

tazman - I can dream, can't I? Proof is an amazing company.

[castalott]

A No4 MK II in the mummy wrap.


I don't know how old but these come up once in a while

[Blanket]

I would be happy with someone making a small frame break open rifle in 32 long with a decent trigger and d&t on the barrel for weaver bases

[tazman]

I bought that particular Savage a few weeks ago. I got the one with the 24 inch barrel. I can say from experience that rifle flat shoots. I had it at the range today using Hornady 168 grain match bullets and Nosler 168 Custom competition bullets. Consistently shot 1.5 inch 5 shot groups at 200 yards. It was very windy today(15-20 mph side wind with gusts) so I think that was really good.

[LUCKYDAWG13]

Tazman I have been looking at both of them
For a wile now will probably put one of them on layaway in a few weeks

[tazman]

Sorry I didn't really specify. I got the 10FCPR with the 24 inch barrel.

[rosst]

Remington700 Varmint in 6mm with 24inch fluted barrel . . maybe 26"

[pressonregardless]

Right now I'd like to find a Marlin 338MX, blued / walnut without barrel droop that I could afford.

[tazman]

Barrel droop????
Never heard of that. Please educate me.

[woody1]

Me too!

[tdoyka]

i'm kinda not an expert, so forgive me if it ain't right....
remlin had a problem(many many problems) of which the receiver thread was not machined correctly and when they put a barrel on the receiver it "droop" quite a bit.

it could be a real problem when trying to sight it in. a scope could no longer go up(it was out of adjustment) to sight it in.

[Shawlerbrook]

A Trapper leveraction 357 mag to carry on the ATV around the farm and a bolt 338 WM for my next trip to Alaska.

[Harter66]

Need ? I'm pretty well not needy for now .

Want , this is more fun .
A DA 45 Colts or Casuall
If a Casuall then I'd want a sister rifle , easier yet to do with a moon clipable revolver.
9mm and 40 carbines
Another 38/357 Carbine
A moon clipped 357/9mm Winchester Magnum
A 40 cal RBH convertible
A moon clipped 40 cal revolver that is long enough for for a 1.285 case but likes 40s and 10mm too .
A 425 HP 428 hooked to an 500 HP A40D in my 59' Ranchero
A turbo Carra auto stick drive train to drop in the 73' Beattle with brakes to match
Every follower of Islam that denies the teachings of Christ to spontaneously evaporate
My Dad to spend the rest of his life in a spontaneous health reset to 60
To have my old dog back
X1 to fall overboard with 3-400 # of chain over the Marrianias trench on a nice Pacific cruise
And a handy little 25ACP single shot rifle .

Thats it right there. Only live one I've seen had it bad, was ready to lay down my money & ended up walking out of the shop a sad white boy.

[Good Cheer]

For a while I bemoaned the lack of cast suitable rifles being produced and wrote to manufacturers trying to encourage them to not neglect the shooting public that would want cast friendly cartridges. Finally in about 1981 I said oh forget them and made up my own. So now I still just make it up as I go along. So, what would I like to have...

1885 Winchester chambered for a 7.62x54 reformed in .375H&H dies with the bottom lopped off to suit the cartridge case diameter above the rim.

A light weight rifle chambered for the 8mm French pistol cartridge reformed from 32-20's. I like having pistol and rifle combo's and the 1892 revolver and cartridge are an excellent small game hunting combination!

Non- "military madness" cartridge rifles.

[dragon813gt]

Marlin 1894 action chambered in 327 Federal. A Henry just won't cut it as there are to many features I hate, to many features it doesn't have and it's a boat anchor. Bolt actions can be built or bought in any configuration I would want. So it's the levers that escape me at the moment :(

[joatmon]

A steel grip frame for my super Blackhawk without the square guard, a nice sporter stock for my 257 Mex, and a 300BO barrel to finish an upper build, and lastly a buffer tube, buffer and buffer spring for a fixed AR stock. I know where to buy all these but the funds post the problem!
Aaron

[Motor]

Marlin or ? lever action and or Ruger bolt action in 500 S&W :)

Motor

[Lloyd Smale]

ruger to bring back the pc9 and pc40 at a 500 dollar price point and set up to use glock mags.

[Dan Cash]

A Lee Speed, Mauser Plezier rifle and 1895 Winchester 30-06. I could take on the world.
