I only word it like that because of my father. After seeing "Quigley down under" my dad had to have one of those Shilo Sharps rifles. It was the end all-be all for him. Well, it took over three years and over $2500 but he finally got it. Complete with his initials on the side just like Matthew Quigley's in the movie. It's a really excellent piece of work and I would love to have one.

However, my "Quigley" is the H&K Mark 23 Socom pistol. I want one so bad I can taste it. When I acquire one I will feel like my dad does now.

So, out with it, what's your "Quigley" and why?

[Delmar]

...a Remington VS in 308 with a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5 x 20 scope on Leupold dual dovetail rings-I have it and it pretty much hits what I can reasonably see. Still waitin for the horseman to snatch up the bucket and ride down range with it:D

[JShirley]

A good FAL.

Got mine about 3 months ago.

John

[Don Gwinn]

Barrett M82A1.

After Ronnie Barrett stood up to the L.A.P.D., I decided that I will one day own one. It may take ten years, but I'll have it.

[Mark Tyson]

Springfield Armory M25 White Feather.

[Brian Williams]

I want an original Browning Hi-wall sporter in 45-90 or 38-55 with a Rust Brown finish or any lo-wall in 45 Colt or 357.



Modern Quigley - An M-16, no a1 or a2, no foward assist, just a plain jane m-16, selector switch and all.

[Newt]

Remington Model 7 Youth Stainless Steel Bbl. and action Synthetic Stock with Leupold Dovetail Rings & mounts with a Weaver 3x9 scope. All that in a 260. Woowee!

[Spackler]

Pre-'64 Winchester Model 70 .243 Featherweight. It actually belongs to my Dad. I think he paid $75 for it way back when. It's a beautiful rifle.

[HankB]

After seeing "Quigley down under" my dad had to have one of those Shilo Sharps rifles. . . . he finally got it . . . And can he put his shots in a 2" or 3" circle at 900 yards like Quigley . . . shooting offhand? ;)

Seriously, here in the real world, what kind of accuracy are these rifles capable of?

[Mil Novecientos Once]

Springfield Armory M25 White Feather.

Amen.

[Black Dragon]

300 Weatherby Mag with a Nightforce 5.5 to 20 x56 scope. I get 1.75 inch group at 200 yards and 2.5 at 300 yards. "Had" to have it for Elk Hunting in Montana. Nailed my elk at 396 yards as it was moving up the side of a small Mountain. Used my backpack and a rock as a steady rest and a laser range finder for the distance. It's still my Quigley! Can't wait unitl I can try it at 600 yards or more:)

[Pappy John]

And can he put his shots in a 2" or 3" circle at 900 yards like Quigley . . . shooting offhand?

Seriously, here in the real world, what kind of accuracy are these rifles capable of?

My Pedersoli Sharps'll do that at 100 yards...off shooting sticks. It might do better with a betterer shooter with sharper eyes.

Back to the original question...my current Quigley is a S&W 696 revolver. I love the .44 special round and the size of this package. Passed on one last December and I've been sorry ever since. Oh well, I don't have the cash to buy one now anyway.:banghead:

[cool45auto]

HankB: Sad to say it will never be shot. As long as he owns it anyway!;)

He bought another Shilo Sharps 45-70 and 45-110 during the wait and shoots them! He made a cabinet to hold the Quigley and a gun belt and sheath like the ones in the movie. That's where it stays.

When I get my Mk23, on the other hand, it will be a shooter!

[Ian]

My pseudoscout rifle - the Coolest Mauser Ever! But the gunsmith is still working on it...and I feel like an obnoxious jerk if I bug him about how close it is to being finished. I want it now! *fidget*

[jsalcedo]

HK91

[Marko Kloos]

Seriously, here in the real world, what kind of accuracy are these rifles capable of?

At 900 yards, a good shooter with a good load and mucho practice can ring a buffalo silhouette on a regular basis...a life-sized buff silhouette. No three-inch groups on newspaper classifieds...

My "Quigley" is a HK91.

[El Tejon]

FN D in 8mm.

[9mmepiphany]

i'm thinking a browning/winchester low-wall with
1. a tapered octogon barrel - from shilen 1" blank
2. french walnut
3. cheekpiece with "shadow" outline
4. "henry" fore arm
5. engraved metalwork
6. chamber for 6.5x55mm
i'm still working on the engraving design

[Okiecruffler]

I'll never have one, but my quest for the world's ugliest rifle will go on forever.

[CleverNickname]

M2 Browning. Maybe if I win the lottery. :D

[WonderNine]

An Armalite AR-10 :D or a DSA FAL both in .308.

Or maybe a semi-automatic Browning BAR .300 magnum. :uhoh:

Gotta be the ultimate home defense rifle too. What body armor is gonna stop that? :uhoh: :D

[Kinsman]

Well, my quigley was the M1a...after years of dreaming and scheming, she's mine (and when I die, my son's and his son's).

Now Quigley takes the shape of a really fine bolt-ation rifle. Something you would take to Africa -make that Alaska. Don't know what it'll be exactly- something in a big caliber, able to really reach out there.....and tip over big animals .

[mummac]

The movie Unforgiven really makes me want a Spencer rifle.

[TheeBadOne]

Sig P210 with .22 LR conversion kit

[Tharg]

Fitting that this be my first post! hehe

The gun i've drooled over ever since i knew anything about guns has always been a HK MP5. =)

Good luck on me ever getting one - but its a Quigley right? ;)

[faustulus]

I want a fully tricked out Browning Hi Power by Cylider and Slide. I love the Hi Power and saw one at the C$S booth at this years shot show. Now if only i had the cash. :(

[4v50 Gary]

Must have? An authentic scope Whitworth rifle from the Civil War. There have been others during the time (notably the 40-50 lb target rifles carried by some sharpshooters of Co. E or I of the First U.S. Sharpshooters or the two companies of Andrew Sharpshooters) but none were ever as portable as the Whitworth.

[ahenry]

lendringser,

At 900 yards, a good shooter with a good load and mucho practice can ring a buffalo silhouette on a regular basis...a life-sized buff silhouette. No three-inch groups on newspaper classifieds... Beg to differ (sorta). An 1874 Sharps with black powder can easily hold MOA (or a hair over) out to 1000 yards. Of course that’s no three inches at 900 yards, but its a lot better than several feet at 900. The guys winning the BPCR matches are all shooting pretty much MOA. That includes off hand shooting and of course all shots are with the open vernier style sights.

[Bostonterrier97]

My Quigley Down Under is a Sharps Rifle chambered in 45-70 with a Target Sight on the Rear Tang. Barrel is 34 inches.

My Modern Day Quigley..is a M1A Super Match

My most Accurate Rifle is a Custom Built Mauser chambered in 308 Norma Magnum.

[Legionnaire]

Ditto the SA M25 White Feather. I don't have one. Dreaming about it, though. Would settle for the SuperMatch M1A bedded in the McMillan Marine Corps camo stock. (See my thread elsewhere on "Educating me on the M1A.")

[Desert Dog]

My Quigley would be a Shiloh Sharps 45-110 with a 34" barrel... :D

I wanted one of those ever since I saw the movie.

I will probably have to settle for a 45/70, 32" though... :rolleyes:

Mike

[Colt46]

1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer Carbine with Double set trigger. With that little baby Professional Hunters on the Dark Continent harvested all sorts of large and dangerous game. The action on them is so slick! Sets the ol' salivary glands to maximum overdrive!

[10-Ring]

My "Quigley?" Well, for me it would be the HK PSG1

[Hawk]

Here it is:

If you're gonna dream, dream big - doesn't cost any more.

[Mike Irwin]

A factory-engraved and cased Savage Model 1899 in .32-40.

[J Miller]

Can I have two Quigleys? Well I have two anyway.

First one is a Winchester 1886 in 50-110. I've wanted one for over 20 years. In all that time I've only seen one for sale.

Second one is a new in the box 2nd Gen Colt SAA. .45 colt cal, 4.75" barrel. Blue with CCH.


Someday maybe, someday I hope.

[Marcus]

A mint Pasedena Automag in .44AMP. :) Marcus

[Penman]

A mint Artillery Model Luger, with the shoulder stock.

[Stoker]

Any modern pistol with a barrel less than 12 inches long and an overall length of less than 24 inches. But then, I live in the UK, you see.

[swingset]

Swiss Stg90 (Sig 550).

That's my big one.

It was a No4mk1T sniper, but I got one of those! ;)

[foghornl]

My Quigley ? ?

The old M2 "Ma Deuce" .50 BMG. If I could even afford to BUY one, let alone pop more than a few rounds a year

[sniff sniff...there's just something about John Browning's designs........ ]

[LiquidTension]

MP5SD or 1919A4, can't decide which I need more.

[HankB]

The guys winning the BPCR matches are all shooting pretty much MOA. That includes off hand shooting... If I ever saw someone consistently holding MOA shooting offhand - with iron sights! - I'd be suitably impressed.

I can't do it. :(

[brownie0486]

S/A M1A, iron sights on humanoid targets out to 600 yds, with my eyes, no problem.

If I need to take the 900 line I'll add the Arms mounted ranging scope that tells the distance and where the hold on is at any range out to 1000 meters.


To have the one I would really like one day would have to be the Barrett .50 in 10 rd semi config. Now we are talking a mile and a half with the right scope.

Brownie

[firestar]

I think people are taking the theard question too literly (sp). It doesn't have to be a long range rifle, just a gun that you always wanted and will get someday.

Mine is a H&K MP5 and/or a H&K P7. I will own one or both of these someday but not until I have more "toy money".

[Kentucky Rifle]

..in the late '60 to early '70's period it was a Remington 700.

KR

[BowStreetRunner]

mine would be a classic smokepole:
Long Land Pattern Brown Bess Musket
or perhaps an authentically styled Kentucky Rifle, flintlock like the originals
BSR

[Smoke]

Thompson subgun.

[T.Stahl]

The gun of my dreams?

A new HK G3A3.

Too bad that I'll probably never be allowed to legally own one. :(

[Hot brass]

My Quigley, Browning 1885 BPCR/ 45-70:D
Had to have it, shot it twice( 5yrs old now)

New Quigley, CZ Varmint .22lr(I love this gun):D
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:what:

[Combat-wombat]

An MP5SD6

[Trisha]

Ditto , Mr. Gwynn and Mr. Tyson! they're both on my list too. . .

Other than a made-to-order Shiloh Sharps in 45/110, of course. . .

[Nightfall]

A FN P90 with that SP90 suppressor, and the P90 LV laser... and plenty of the SB193 5.7x28mm ammo! Oh, oh and some spare mags! And some of the SS190 ammo too! Gawd, I could go on forever. That and another vote for an MP5SD6. They just seem like they'd be a blast for target shooting. :D

Unfortunately, I'll probably never even see a P90, let alone fire one. :(

[Dionysusigma]

:evil: :evil: :evil:

[arinvolvo]

While it is not a high dollar or rare piece...after shooting my brothers AR15 for a couple months...I have to have one...what a fun rifle.

Now if I could talk the fiance into letting me get one:rolleyes: :D

[J. Parker]

Affordable, powerful, and reliable.........a pre-ban Polytech M14S. Ain't nothin' like a .308 "battle rifle".:D

[Mute]

Plasma Phase Rifle in the 40 watt range.

[ahenry]

If I ever saw someone consistently holding MOA shooting offhand - with iron sights! - I'd be suitably impressed. I can't do it. I can’t even come close to doing it. My understanding is that is what they do though. I know they only shoot offhand at the closer distances and to be completely honest I’m not all that sure if they are shooting MOA when doing that or not. I do that at the longer distances (several 100 yards and up) they are shooting any way they want (rested obviously) and they definitely shoot MOA when doing that. My point was just that MOA is easily possible on a Sharps with iron sights.

[Crimper-D]

Sharps are fine, but My taste in single shot rifles run to the ballard action. A nice scoped one in .22LR and a centerfire chamberd for 38-55 and equipped with midrange tang sights would keep the Trapdoor and the Martinis in good company.

Oh, as long as this marvelous fantisy lasts, add an Ainsley Fox sxs in 12 guage, 'C' grade engraving:D

Handguns? = I'll wait for the _Next_ delusion for that list:p
It's a Big one :evil:

[CZ-100]

My M1 Grande :D

[Spackler]

Plasma Phase Rifle in the 40 watt range.

Just what you see, pal.

[Sgt]

My Quigley would have to be my old Thompson Center TCR-83 Single Shot. I've got the .223 and .308 barrels for it. It's so accurate it's scary and I just love the doubleset triggers.:D

Semper Fi, Sgt

[St. Gunner]

It was a Remington Sendero in .270 Winchester, but I used my college graduation money a couple weeks ago to buy it. All it needs now is a decent scope on it, has a 10x 3200 mildot Bushnell on it at present.

So I guess I have to choose another, i'd say a really nice engraved Safari Browning BAR I saw at a gunshow in .338winmag. I drooled all over my shoes.

[M38]

I think I just bought mine today. It's a AR-10(T) with a bead blasted matte grey finished barrel.
Now to find my "Quigley" scope for it!
