Time for the 'Help me pick my Christmas Gift' thread.

Hi folks. like the title said, I am trying to decide what kind of gun to tell my wife I want for Christmas. To set up the situation, here is what I already own:

Marlin Mod 60 .22
Ted Williams 20ga Autoloader
Ruger Mk II .22
Ruger SP-101 2" .357 Magnum
Firestorm .380 Thunder
Firestorm Mini .45 ACP
Saiga 16" barrel in 7.62X39

As you can see, it's a farily eclectic collection.

Here is what is on my Christmas List so far:

NAA Black Widow, 22Mag
Taurus 731 UL, a 6 shot snubbie in .32 H&R magnum.
A handy .357 lever action carbine(Winchester or Marlin, don't care)
A bolt-action hunting rifle(and then I get into what could be a seperate thread, New vs Used)

That's kind of what it comes down to...one of those 4 things, with much variety available under the bolt-action rifle catagory.

Thanks for everyone's help and advise.

I have a NAA Black Widow 22 mag in layaway for my christmas and can't wait.

Sounds to me like you need a good bolt action rifle in that line up.

I would have to say go with the lever action!!! I want a lever action .357 or another bolt action. I guess I am in the same boat!!:D

I'd have to say go with the lever gun, only because that's what I'm asking for for my xmas present (except in .44) :D

I'd go w/ the lever action rifle too! Yup, that would make for a very Merry Christmas :cool:

Looks to me like you need milsurp. SMLE, K98, M1 (Garand or carbine--both?:evil: ) Something along those lines.

Get yourself a bolt action rifle.

A Marlin 1894C in 357 is on my list, and I'm doing my best to get my hands on one.

get a bolt action, I am. :)


gonna be a Remington 700P unless I change my mind again. ;)

Sounds like you need a S&W 500 snubbie. Or a Derringer in .700 Nitro Express.:evil: :evil: :what: :neener:
