Is there a cartridge you'd like to see offered in a different type of gun?

[Trey45]

Examples might be, if Marlin or Winchester offered a lever gun in 454 Casull, instead of being stuck with Puma being the only one. Or maybe the 327 Fed Mag being offered in a rifle.

[rockrat]

327Fed would be good. Would really like Marlin to neck down their 338ME to 7mm, but thats just wishful thinking.

[frankenfab]

Marlin had a .475 Linebaugh lever in the works at one time. It was on the website, and Jerry's Sports Center had it listed on their website (there were never any in stock). Then it just disappeared. I would have definitely bought one.

It would be nice if Marlin would at least make one in .454.

[izzyjoe]

of course a marlin 94 in 357 max would be on my wish list.:D

[S.R.Custom]

Winchester '92 in .22 Hornet.

[dnepr]

i would like Marlin to reintroduce the 1894 in 41 mag or find a good used one , A ruger #1 in .338 lapua with about a 32 inch barrel , and someone to come up with a pump rifle in 9mm, .40 and .45acp with at least an 18.5 inch barrel for us canucks who like cheap shooting

[357maximum]

I would like to see Remington bring back the 788 in all short action calibers including the 35Rem. I would like to see an affordable pump rifle in 32H&R mag. A Marlin levergun in 357Max would be super also. I would like to see H&R make a superlight handi rifle in 38 special with target sights. ..........I could do this all day how many you looking for? :lol:

[frankenfab]

I think Marlin will make the .41 again. Seems like they do a run every few years. Same thing on the .410.

I hope you are right , would be a fantastic little rifle

[scb]

I would like to see Remington bring back the 788 in all short action calibers including the 35Rem.

Absolutely. +1

[Dragoon 45]

Marlin 1895 in .40-65. Also would like to see Marlin add the option of a 30 inch barrel on the 1895 for some longer range shooting with BP.

[Gee_Wizz01]

Rossi, Marlin, or Win in 32-20, 25-20 and 218 Bee. I would also love to Remington bring back the 788 in all of the old calibers and also .454 casull.

[part_timer]

I would like to see a pump in 256 win mag, a lever or bolt gun in 357 Maximum.

[mroliver77]

I didn't know we had so many lever action lovers here. I really cannot come up with anything that has not been covered but would like to see "real" rifling with some depth to it it most calibers mentioned. Marlin made a lot of noise about their "Ballard" rifling and then gave us something that looked shot out from the factory. Same with throats. It seems to me if you are already rifling and chambering a rifle, how much more work would it be to do it right?
J

[felix]

I agree, especially for boolits. Much easier to shoot longer before cleaning when using deeper grooves. Give me a short bolt action using all the pistol calibers of choice. Would be nice have a switch barrel gun, with interchangable bolt apparatus to mate with the different cases. ... felix

[stephenj]

a henry lever gun in .45-70 sure would be nice

[mooman76]

That new rifle they just came out with that has is revolver style. I think Rossi the judge in 410/45LC. I'd like to see it in some other calibers like 45-70 or some of the other older BP cartridges.

[Marvin S]

I would like to see the large rimfires come back.

[BruceB]

One of my dreams is in-process right now. Ruger will soon be building their lightweight #1A single-shot in .303 British, and I have one on order.

If ever a rifle and cartridge were intended for each other, I believe this to be a combination made in Heaven. I can hardly wait!

[DLCTEX]

+1 on the Marlin in .475, but I want mine in 480 Ruger.

[AZ-Stew]

S&W Scandium J-frame in .460 Weatherby. Hey, you'd only need one round.

How about bringing back the Remington 788 (I have a bunch, but I'm missing the 7mm-08 and .308) and adding the .221 and .17 Fireball? They could add the .35 Remington or .358 Winchester, with my preference going to the Remington as a cast boolit cartridge.

I'd love to see S&W adopt 5 inch barrels as standard production items for all L and N frames. I'd like to see the L frame chambered in .327 Federal in both 5 and 6 inch lengths, possibly with an 8-round cylinder.

Regards,

Stew

[Larry Gibson]

I would like to see the Winchester M94AE in a M64 or Black Shadow version with 24" barrels in 307 and 356 Winchester. The 307 with a minimum 12" twist (I would prefer a 14" twist) with the 160 LeveRevolution bullets at 2700 -2800 fps would make it a dandy. It also would be very useable for cast bullets, especially for us old farts with aging eyes who appreciate the longer sight radius. The bonus of a low mounted scope on the AE makes it a very useable 300+ yard rifle. The 356 Winchester with a minimum of 14' twist (I would prefer the 16' twist) would be the cat's meow with 200 - 250 gr cast bullets. With jacketed bullets of 200+ gr, especially the LeveRevolution bullets, it also makes for a nice elk/bear lever action rifle.

Larry Gibson

[jmsj]

I'd like to see a small frame falling block in .32 H&R magnum. Something like a Steven's favorite on steroids. Just a good walking around rifle and something the kids can shoot as they work their way into bigger cartridges.

[Blammer]

a Tommy gun in 454 casull :)

[geargnasher]

a Tommy gun in 454 casull :)

Naw, man! 45 Winchester Magnum, gotta be rimless!


A-Z said basically the same thing, but I want a Smith Airweight in SIX shot, .327 Federal Magnum. Or maybe an L-frame 8-shot, that would be cool too. I think it's a freakin' crime that that wonderful little magnum is going to fade into obscurity because nobody ever bothered to produce THE GUN IT WAS DESIGNED FOR.

While I'm dreamin', give me a Ruger NM Vaquero, 7-1/2" bbl, blued, in .327 Federal to go with my 1866 Henry .327 Federal or a Marlin 336, what a combo!

Ruger 10x25-20. Stainless or blue.

[45r]

I'd like to have a ruger # 1 or Win 1885 low wall in 357 max with a rifle chamber or 357 magnum and I'll use my rifle reamer on it.I'd like to get a 24 inch 357 mag contender or encore barrel to use my reamer on.I would have got one a while back but a XLR in 45-70 took up my funds.Glad I got the XLR though it's so accurate it might be all I'd need for anything within 250 yards.

[Heavy lead]

BFR 7 or 8 shot .357 Maximum
Super Redhawk 8 shot .357 Magnum would be almost as good with a good custom mould to untilize the long cylinder
Remington to reintroduce the 141 and offer it in the .357 Maximum for us that can use pistol rounds in a shotgun only area
Everyone to start chambering the 6mm Remington again

[870TC]

Would be happy if Marlin would make another run of the Cowboy in 38-55

[Dutch4122]

Browning BLR in .358 Norma Magnum. Winchester 1895 in .35 Whelen. Would like to also see H&R bring back the Trapdoor Springfield and produce it in the full length Infantry Rifle version.

As for pistols, Ruger needs to bring back the Security Six in .357 Magnum; and chamber the GP-100 for .41 Special.

[theperfessor]

I'll second the motion for a .41 Special in the GP100. Even better if it could be ..44 Special or 45 AR/ACP but I don't think it's big enough for the latter.

Or maybe a GP-100 in 10mm/.40 S&W using moon clips. Fast reloads!

[Johnch]

A Ruger #1 in 22 Long Rifle

At one time
I had one
It was rebarreled by a local gunsmith with a offcenter bore to use the original fireing pin

I'm with the Perfessor. I'd really like either a S&W 686, or a GP100 in 44 special.

So the real question is, would you like a ballistic type point or a wide meplat on the grip when the little devil recoiled through your chest cavity? Which would give the quicker kill?:holysheep

[NSP64]

How about a 3 shot j frame 44 special. Or a levergun in 500 S&W.

[Doc Highwall]

Ruger No1 in both 22LR and a 30-30 with a quicker twist for cast bullets at 1200-1800 fps for match shooting and with heavy barrels drilled and tapped for target sights and scopes.

[izzyjoe]

i'd like to see a model 7rem. in. 35. and i wish marlin would camber a 336 in 25-35 win., and hornady step up and make some leverevolution j-words for it. talk about a varmit levergun!!!

[2ndAmendmentNut]

I would love to have a 30-06 lever action. It would have to have a tubular magazine though, lever actions just look wrong with a box or rotary magazine. I think it would be great if someone started making lever actions with those twisted tube magazines like I have seen on old Remington pumps, that way you could load any bullet/boolit configuration. Anyone know why you don’t see those twisted tube magazines anymore? I think Hornady’s Flex-tip bullets are a good idea and all, but they are still limited to the “lever” calibers and whatever new ones Hornady/Marlin feels they need to design. It would seem like a much better idea to have a lever action that could handle spire point bullets, then you would be able to sell them in great American calibers like 30-06, 243, 22-250.

[Piedmont]

I just want Bar-sto to make a run of .30 Luger barrels for the Hi Power.

[Marlin Junky]

I wish Remington would offer their 700 short action or even the M7 in .30 Remington. They tooled up for the 6.8 so how hard could it be? They still make .30 Remington brass and perhaps they may find a few hunters that still believe you don't need an utra-mag to take deer at 200 yards. They might even be able to get one more round of .30R in the magazine vs. the .308W. Make it light and slick and I bet it'll sell. Heck one can sell anything with the right marketing campaign!

MJ

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Would also like a 45colt/410 in a 2 shot double-action derringer form.

[Ron.D]

Another vote for a lever in 40-65 or 416 Barnes. A huge gap exists here if you want a scoped lever anywhere near 40.

[tonyjones]

I'm another vote for a Marlin 1895 in .40-65 with 24" or 26" barrel. If I had the cash I'd send mine to Turnbull Restorations for metal work, case colors, an aperature sight and much better wood.
Tony

[HiVelocity]

If a company can make a 44AMP why can't Glock or Ruger make one? I'd like to see a semi-auto pistol with a 6" barrel in 44 caliber. I'd also like to see the same cartridge in a semi-auto rifle configuration. Why can't Glock/Ruger make a semi-auto pistol in .357 Magnum? Why not a pocket sized semi-auto in .17HMR?

Why not a Ruger #1 in 454?

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Why not a Ruger #1 in 454?



Ruger does or at least did make one in 460S&W which can shoot 454s and 45colts.

[Lloyd Smale]

a 92 action in 475 and 500 linebaugh. a ruger bisley in 480. a ruger montado or at least a 4 5/8s small frame vaquero in 4440 and 3840. A #1 international ruger in 250-3000 and or 257 roberts and also in 358 win.

[BarryinIN]

I'd like a carbine in 44AMP (44 AutoMag) with a box magazine. Bolt or semiauto. Actually, I'd like both.
It's as practical as a .44 Mag carbine and the rimless cartridges stack better in a magazine.
Jeff Cooper once described a "Thumper" concept that was a short handy semiauto in 44 AMP with a 20-rd magazine, and I've liked the idea ever since.

Might as well ask for an interchangeable 357 AMP barrel option with that one.

I'd like a short bolt action in something like 460 or 500 S&W, or 475/480. Or a lever.

A .41 Special L-frame S&W would be good.
OK, a .41 Spl in about anything would be good.

I'd like to see the S&W 696 come back (5 shot 44 Spl L frame) but with a four or five inch barrel option.

The .32-20 in a few different revolvers could be fun. Like a K or L frame S&W.

I've had an urge for a short, light, bolt action rifle in 35 Remington for a while. I always look at the short-chambered small ring Mauser barrels, and think of the basket case Spanish Mauser I got at a garage sale but never do anything about it.

An itty bitty bolt action in .221 Fireball. I have a rebarreled Rem 600 in 221, but a factory version would be nice. The little CZ or the .223-size Mini-Mauser would be good.
I wouldn't mind trying a .300 Whisper on the same size rifle.

M1A in .358 Winchester. They cataloged them for a while. I don't know if they actually made any.

I'd like a barrel in .338-06 or 35 Whelen for the Garand. Not sure why other than I like Garands and either caliber might be fun in one for awhile. I know about the .338 and 458 Win Mags from McCann, but I'm trying to be a little more reasonable.

Double rifle in .22 LR.
Don't know why, except for general cuteness.

Contender barrels in .32-20, 218 Bee, 221 Fireball, .41 Mag, 357 AMP, and 44 AMP. They've made a couple of those in the past, but not now, and I don't have them. Might as well ask for 10" and carbine lengths for all.

Here is one that I really want, but doubt there would be many takers.
I have an M1941 Johnson, and since the barrel removes and/or swaps easily, I've thought some more barrels might be nice. I'd first want a .308 barrel about 20" long. Other barrels in .30-06/.308-based cases would be OK too, but I'll start with the .308. There is a guy in TX who makes up new barrels for them, but he gets his blanks short-chambered in .30-06 so that's the choice.

BarryinIN mentioned a few other wish list items that are/were available. Remington's custom shop cataloged the Model 7 in .35 Remington not too long ago. The .221 Fireball is available in the CZ 527 American and the Cooper Model 38. Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing offers a double rifle in
.22 LR. They make a reproduction of the Winchester M21. They later scaled the M21 frame down for .28 ga. and down some more for the .410 bore. They then scaled down the M21 .410 frame and made a .22 LR double rifle. I handled one at the SCI convention a couple of years ago. It goes beyond cute all the way to drop dead gorgeous. As best I recall, with full coverage engraving, the best wood and all the bells and whistles one could want the price was $32 to $35K!!!!!
Remember the old saying..."Be careful what you wish for."

Bring back the Ruger Deerslayer in .44mag and aslo .50S&W but with a box mag.

All a bit academic for me. After 24 years of shooting I can't see me ever buying an 'off the shelve' rifle again. These days I tend to decide what I want and have it built. That way you don't need a wish list.

[Rockydog]

Ruger 10-22 in .327 Fed. Mag. (Actually a 10-32) Might need a heavier action but the ranch rifle frame seems like overkill.

Any bolt gun in .450 Marlin for cast bullet use. Kind of a lightweight .458 Win. Hey, we do it with .38 SP/.357Mag, 44Spec./44Mag etc.

[ReloaderFred]

A light semi-auto rifle in 9x23 Winchester. It would need to be well made and conventional in design.

So, basically a .30 M1 Carbine. By the time one made a semi-auto rifle that would handle the pressures of that round you would have something more along the lines of a Mini 30. Would be very cool, though.

Next would be Ruger to make the ranch rifle in 350 Gremlin!!!!for social purposes.Or at least work on the accuracy of the little carbine in the calibers they have now.Is 2moa in a standard model too lofty a goal for a major gun company, Yes they updated the looks but accuracy is still sub par for semiauto rifle made in the 21 century ,Heck a massed produced Chicom SKS will shoot just as well and with a barrel mounted leaf sight to boot.......step it up Ruger!
