My dream rifle, well I missed out at a gunshow once! This little old man was strolling around with a 336 SC in 35 Rem, a waffle top at that! It also had a Refield peep sight, and a half box of shells. The rifle was in great shape, the only problem I didn't have the $300 that he was asking. I followed that guy around for the better part of an hour, I was trying to think a way to come up with the money. I seen a good friend there, and begged him for the money, and he loaned it to me, and I'll be darned by the time I found the guy he had just sold it! So that taught me a good lesson, never go without cash!
I have always wanted a HS Precision TD in .308, but would settle for 6.5x55 in a High Wall.
I could get excited about a lever gun chambered for .460S&W to load black in.
S&W K-32 and a beretta factory engraved ppk .380

Most people want lever guns with odd ball calibers or calibers that aren't in mass production. I like those too
Yes, I would love a Ct. made Marlin 1894 in 22 Hornet. I know, fantasy.
I had a Marlin 32mag. Bought it with two shots thru it. Someone wanted it alot more that I did. Should have kept it, never did shoot it.
Passed on a Marlin Cowboy once, in 44 mag. for $450. I had the cash, but was looking for a High Wall in 38-55, so didn't buy it. Regret letting that one pass too!!
The factory never made a Model 94 in 22 Hornet. Too long to go through the action and all the factory bullets are pointed. They did make a 218 Bee in the Model 1894CL; I have one I bought new in the early 1990's. W/ 6 power Burris scope it shoots minute of walnut @ 100 yards using Hornady 45 grain flatpoints loaded in front of Accurate 1680.
I have already had a couple picks but a gun I have been looking for for a long time is a Mossberg model L.
It was a low priced single shot 22 rifle that had a martini like dropping block action and was only made for a couple years. I need another gun like I need a hole in my head but I have always wanted and liked oddball things and a model L is one of them.

I like guns, but love reloading tools. My gunshow dream find is a complete Ideal Number 2 lubricating press.
