Guns I'd like to have

[Swampman]

I'd really like to have two stainless/titanium Remington Model 700s built up with 20" barrels, and made as light as possible.  Calibers would be .375 Ruger & .338 Federal.

[MGMorden]

If we're in fantasy land style wants  , I'd personally like a 6.5x55 built on a Nesika Bay Hunter action - paired up with a fluted 25" Lothar Walther barrel.  Hinged & engraved floorplate and triggergard.  Jewleled bolt with 3-panel checkered teardrop handle.  Slow-rust blued in a Grade AAA Fancy English Walnut stock.  Niedner-style steel gripcap and buttplate.  Inset slight swivels. Ebony tip (schnable style).  Hand cut fleur-de-lis checkering. Shadow-line "pancake-style" cheekpiece.

Now, since I'm not likely to be able to afford that anytime soon, more realistically I wouldn't mind getting a nice Sako in 6.5x55, 9.3x62, or .375 H&H. .

I would like to have a Cooper 52 in any of 5 calibers.  Still a wish not in the budget.  Buckfever

I'm no longer interested in works of art.  They'd just end up sitting in the safe gathering dust.

[Freezer]

   Mnnlicher Schonhir in 6.5x55 or 6.5 chonhire.  I'm glad spelling doesn't cont!

Eh - I'm the type that wouldn't hesitate to take that rifle I mentioned out to the treestand and hunt with it .

Man oh man...  Where to begin?

Let's see:  Marlin lever guns in .22 LR, 30-30, .35 Rem., .357, .44, .444, and .45-70.   

Classically styled single shot rifles in .303 British and 30-40 Krag.  The Dakota Model 10 would be the ultimate, but the Ruger #1 would be just as nice and I'd get them both for less money than a Dakota.

A bolt action 7.62x39 with a barrel longer than 18.5" (CZ Carbine) and heaveir contour than the Rem. 799 or Ruger 77 offers.  Maybe 21"-22" long, with a muzzle diameter of .650 or so, just a bit heavier in contour than a factory Rem. 700 ADL/BDL barrel.  Heck, the ADL contour would be close enough for me, I'd buy about 5 of them.  Still cheap to shoot (compared to other calibers), low recoil, long barrel life, accurate, and able to kill deer and other game at 200 yds, and anything smaller out to 250-300 yds.

Ultimate rifle for me:  .260 Rem or 6.5x55, 23" barrel, muzzle diameter of about .700" or so, fluted, stout, good synthetic stock (or laminate, can't decide which), action doesn't really matter that much.  Total accuracy package, ultimate hunting package for anything that I'll get around to shooting, good for 400 yds.

Any older classic style hunting rifle, say before the 1960's.

Now if I could only figure where the money is so that I can do this........

I'd also like a Remington titanium - but in a Mod 7 where it really makes sense to me.

[victorcharlie]

One of the Colt Sauers would be a top pick for me.

[jhm]

Charles P  there is vary little difference between the short action 700 TI and the model 7 I have both and do like both one in 7-08 and the other in 243 I gave a good friend of mine a older mod. 7 in 7-08 and he will be using it this year me Im still trying to decide.   JIM

Hi All,

      Ahhh Freezer, that's Schoenauer and the chambering is 6.5x54MS (Mannlicher Schoenauer) yep I have one 

     There are several that I am looking for and they include these :-

Ross .280 M10 or 1910 ( although wouldn't turn down a 1907 Scotch Stalker)

Ross 1905 commercial sporting rifle.

BSA Model 1923 ( any chambering 26, 33 or 40)

Side by Side double British classic rifle Hammerless in 303 ( Greener would be nice)

Chapius Dbl SxS in 8x57JRS

Remington Model 30

BSA Hunter 222 or 22 Hornet

BSA Viscount

BSA Imperial

   But I could go on  money or lack of it is the problem, followed by our stupid licensing department who say I already have too many guns  . Of those listed the expensive ones are the double rifles. A good really nice 303 British rifle would cost $4000+ a new Chapuis is around $4500 US. Price does not effect the hunting use of a rifle for me I already hunt with the Medwell & Perritt in 30-30 which is the most expensive rifle I own.

[Sweet 6.5]

Brithunter's collection will suite me fine

Brithunter's collection will suite me fine

  The one listed I want?  or the ones I already have  ?

Somehow I can see you stalking Plains game with a Martini 303 sporting carbine  It's a dainty little thing of Belgian manufacture and as the story goes made for the Omani tribal forces and the Sultan of Oman. It looks like the one popular with the Boers dring the 2nd Boer war which is why I picked it up. And hidden away in the cabinet is a Parker-Hale 1100M, just right for you big stuff neeeds, chambered for the 458 Win Mag cartridge.

[Sweet 6.5]

The one you have!

About the carbine - I would love that, loaded with 215gr Kynoch soft points. Looking
for THAT once in a life time kudu.

I love the .303! That was my Dad's big gun. I used it, with open sights,
to hunt my one and only warthog - 30 years ago.

Cheers
Sweet

Sweet 6.5,

    Have you been peeking into my cabinets? as I happen to have about 160 original Kynoch 215 rain bullets for relaoders they came in flat 100 count boxes with each bullet in it's own little cardboard compartment. The guy who brought them originally must have has a 303 Axite as the load data written on one box is way to much to fit into a 303 British case. That's not to mention the Kynoch sporting soft point ammo even have a few HP 303 by Kynoch  .
