A Gun you sorta want but never buy

[irishsquid]

Another long list for irishsquid. Topping the list however is a Springfield Armory National Match M1A.

 

[hinton03]

Marlin 336C in 35 Remington.

 

[10-Ring]

Beretta o/u shotgun in 28 ga -- and Glock 29

 

[nc76]

Glock 26

 

[Pack]

Like others, I have a long list.

If I had to really narrow it down, and pick what I've always thought was cool, but manage to keep acquiring other guns instead...

The first one, period, is a .357 Desert Eagle.

However, since we're in the Rifle pages...

A .50 BMG, notably an M82A1.

 

[wrench]

Wow, where to start?
An FN FAL-too cool, too expensive, not another caliber....but I WANT one.
Winchester 1895 rifle, beautiful, expensive...
Custom Browning hipower, beautiful, expensive....
Browning superposed 12g, beautiful, expensive, probably overkill for the 4 rounds of trap I shoot a year...
The common theme?
I guess I like things that are beautiful and expensive.
It never comes together, though, with the gun, the money, and the desire all at the same time.

 

[NELSONs02]

I sorta want a big bore lever action, 444 or 45-70....... but I'll probably never buy one.

 

[DRYHUMOR]

Winchester 70 Super Express in 375 H&H...

I've come real close to buying one...

twice.

 

[Gunfighter123]

A custom John Martz .45acp Luger Carbine.

Had a chance to buy one in the mid-70s for $10,000 ----- if only

 

[A-FIXER]

An FN FAL would be way to cool... and a .50 bmg... would be a never happen though

 

[woo18]

Ruger No. 1

Double Rifle

 

[Quickill]

.44 Mag Desert Eagle

 

[SwampWolf]

Winchester Model 71 and a heavy calibered Merkel double rifle. Both pricey for sure but, even at my age, who knows?

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Easy, an SKS, an AK47 is even better looking than one of these.

 

[Retooferab]

I got the hardest one this week a new in the box green label hbar ar15. Now it is on to a Cooper Jasckson Squirrel Rifle.

 

[Green Dragoon]

A semi-auto Browing Automatic Rifle BAR, and I do not mean what Browning calls a BAR today.

 

[alemonkey]

Sharps 45 70, I don't want to buy one because I told somebody once that once I get a sharps 45/70 I'll have all the guns I want.

Not entirely true, I've wanted and bought many guns since buying my Sharps. They're all kind of red headed step children since getting the Sharps, though


For me it's probably a Ruger #1. I really want one and think they're one of the most beautiful rifles out there, but since I already own a Sharps in 45-70, a Stevens Favorite in .22LR, and am gathering parts for a Martini-Henry build in 38-55 I think I'm pretty well covered in falling block rifles.

 

[Afy]

Anything where the ammo is not readily sourceable.. something along the lines of a 6 PPC or 6 XTC

 

[Prod]

Barrett M-82 in .50 BMG. Such a sweet weapon, but I can't justify the cost.

 

[tjj]

Prod
Dittos. Couldn't afford to feed it either.

S&W M41 7"
Marlin lever gun in .357

 

[Zach S]

"Realistically obtainable" ruins it for me, as I'm broke. I've had an AR45 lower for a year and a half that I still haven't got a stock and upper for.

However, topping my list of stuff to buy would be a M1A scout. I have no real "use" for it, but would like to have one.

 

[Red Tornado]

A Marlin Camp 9 is probably the top. Most PCC's would qualify, PC9, Camp 45, Hi-Point, even the M1 Carbine. All would be fun, but there's little practical value, so they never climb very high on the list.

Something in 45/70 is also on the list...somewhere. Probably below the PCCs.

[2TransAms]

6.8 SPC AR. I like them, but I can't find ammo, and if I could it would still just be a paper-puncher. I can't justify the cost.

 

[Noban]

Original 1886 Winchester in 45-70.

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Ruger GP100---every time I get over how big they are--the price goes up.

Then they go and mess with the grips---ok, I can change those.

The only one I'm interested in is the 4'' stainless--I have the money and they're unavailable.

Find one--and the price goes up.

This has been going on for 20 years.
