I want one chambered in .338 Win Mag with ejectors.  I currently shoot a TCR in that caliber, so I know what the recoil is like, and it is very manageable.  The only problem with the TCR is that it only has extractors.  That sometimes causes life to get a bit exciting.

Since the OP indicated singular, I'll cut it down to the one item I have a serious lust for.

A 24" fluted bull barrel in a 6.5mm( .260 Remington, 6.5x55 Swede :) , 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel).

Some really nice ideas here.  I would like a 219 zipper (I have the dies already, just don't have a 22 hornet barrel to work with yet) but a 30-40 krag, 32-40, 33wcf, 38-55, or 9.3x74 would be really cool as well.

Any pics?
 
I have also considered building a .257 Bob on a 24" .223HB barrel.   :)

I'm surprised so many others said they want a 6.5, thats what I want. I'd like a 6.5 Carcano though, with an ejector please.

Hey, those are good ideas for a commercial run. They might have traction with management.

From the looks of things I think a 6.5\264 offering would sell like hotcakes. Is ashame they are cutting calibers out instead of adding. I too would love 6.5 swede, offered in the ultra package with 26'' barrel and a plain pw stock and 22'' tube.

My dream Handi would be a real case hardened SB2 with BC carbine walnut stocks that had a 15" LOP. It would be a combo 3 barrel unit with the following barrels:

1. 20" 45 Colt with target knob peep sight and front firesight.
2. 26" 16 gauge Mod choke barrel with vent rib.
3. 16" .22 LR Versa Pack barrel with target knob peep sight and front firesight.

 Nothing that should be as difficult as its been to find:  A .308 that shoots well, I'd be happy with one that'd put three inside 1.5" CONSISTENTLY!

Make mine a 9.3x74R in a 24" or 26" light barrel with open sights, color case hardened receiver and a nice walnut TDC stock set.  It would be perfect...


I shoot his round in an encore and would love it in a handi.

An ALL Stainless steel gun with cinnamon laminated stock and fore end (not thumb hole). Deciding on a case is a problem, so I would say 30-06, because it can be used for so much.


Good Shooting

No way I could get this one.  I'd just sit and clean it all day.  That would sure be a pretty gun.

A dream Handi would be a new one made with the same care and attention to detail as the Gardner guns had. ;)  Buying a new Handi nowadays costs more and it's a crap shoot as far as quality is concerned. Honestly I think Remington has no interest in the brand... and it shows.

I see no difference between the Gardner guns and the Remington guns.
 
I want a .50-70.

7.62X54R wouldn't be my 'dream gun.'
 
But one with a std taper bbl and 24 or 26inch length would interest me.   8)

 OK,   I am working on probably the strangest caliber a handi has ever been chambered in ?? ::)   It is maybe the first smokeless powder cartridge ever chambered as a military cartridge.   It is also the first cartridge to use a boatailed  bullet EVER  !!
Can you guess what it is ??  Well its got a big ole rim  on it and enough taper on  the case to compare to a 22 Jet but not too far behind in power to a  30/06 ??
What the heck is this  ??  If you can guess by the clues  given  your a pretty good thinker ...  I am making the reamer for this weirdo as I type ?
