New rifles you'd like to see...

[MTMilitiaman]

Picture this:

Smith and Wesson X-frame revolver rifle in .460 and 500 S&W. Put a permanently attached two-inch long compensator on the end of a fourteen inch barrel. Optics rail on top, little synthetic forend and pistol grip/thumbhole stock like on the NEF Handi-rifles. Could have a spot for extra rounds or other stuff to be stored in butt and grip. I am thinking bush/survival rifles for pilots and hunters in Alaska and Canada, or for anyone looking for a compact rifle capable of putting big holes in something at close distance, like hogs in brush or bear over bait. All the firepower of a big bore lever gun but faster to fire and to reload.

I also like the idea of an 18 inch barreled AR-10 in .376 Steyr.

I'd also like a quality MP-10 clone. A well-done MP5 clone in 10mm Auto would rock. I might even SBR and suppress it. Load up some 220 gr FMJFN to 1000 fps or so for sub-sonic and some 200 gr XTPs at 1400 fps or so defense and such. Sweet.

And a US made legit SVD Dragunov. There is just something menacing about that rifle. I'd be totally interested if someone cared enough to do it right and offered legit US made 7N1 FMJ Match.

An affordable bullpup style rifle in 5.56x45 that uses standard AR magazines.

This is a cool idea to me, I was thinking this same thought the other night. If done right, of course, I would be a buyer.

 

[ExAgoradzo]

9mm para lever gun

[roscoe]

Reasonably-priced takedown levergun.

 

[RPRNY]

A sub $1000 1886 or 1876 Winchester in 40-65 wcf

 

[adcoch1]

I would love a 45 acp levergun with a mag tube just enough shorter than the barrel to fit a suppressor.
A 7.62x39 bolt gun that takes ak magazines in the scout configuration.
A NICE, affordable over under with a top barrel in 30-06 and a bottom barrel in 12 gage, but as smooth as a ruger red label. Two triggers and able to safe each barrel individually. With rifle sights and pretty wood.

 

[EchoM70]

Modern Savage 99 made right

Bolt action carbines in 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39, 30-30, 35 Rem, 358 win, 44 Mag, 357 mag, 458 Socom, 50 Beowulf, 460 S&W, 500 S&W, etc...

I know a few different companies have tried a few of these. I really enjoy using a bolt action, and I like carbines and chamberings that make for a neat little package. I also like to have something a little different, if I didn't I'd stop buying guns awhile go.

I own a Ruger 77/44 in 44 mag and a CZ 527 carbine in 7.62x39 and I am really looking forward to both the Howa Mini and CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel. Probably end up picking up 527 American and a Howa Mini in 7.62x39 as well.

 

[EchoM70]

Double post.

 

[LoonWulf]

I could go for a .458 socom bolt gun based on a mini action with an 18-20" barrel.

The only other guns on my wish list are already in the works or available....those being mini 6.5Grens

 

[Manny]

I'd love a good .357 semi auto carbine. I wish Desert Eagle would convert their overly large & heavy handguns into reasonable weight carbines. They have good triggers, noteably good accuracy and would be handy as all get out for a wide variety of uses.

 

[Odd Job]

Bring back the Thompson/Center R55 Benchmark!

 

[chicharrones]

A 7.62x39 bolt gun that takes ak magazines in the scout configuration.

On that wish, I'd like one of the Australian International Arms M10-A2 in 7.62x39.

[Newtosavage]

A new bolt action 30-30 would be nice.
I agree on the bolt-action 7.62x39 that took AK mags. That would be handy.

A true switch barrel bolt gun with a cantilever scope mount would be sweet.

 

[ZGunner]

Not new, but I wouldn't mind a K31 in 6.5x55.
More bolt guns that can use the .308 PMags.

I also really like that bolt-AK mag idea!

 

[Gtscotty]

I would like Winchester to start chambering M70's for 6.5 Creedmoor.... Been waiting for a few years, but I'm not holding my breath.

I would like to see Ruger offer a factory threaded stainless synthetic 96/44.

 

[LoonWulf]

Granted its ugly

 

[MTMilitiaman]

I think Desert Eagle could make an awesome carbine out of that package. My family has two Mk VII .44 Mags and one Mk XIX .50 AE. They are accurate and fun, and sometimes my dad will carry his .44 hunting, but they aren't really practical because they weigh in at 5 lbs. But as a carbine, I think they could be excellent brush guns that are a lot more practical than the handguns.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Hi.

You don't need to wait. I have built some of these but keep in mind the steyr will not fit in the standard 308 AR magazine.

The 375-08 and 375-284 will work with certain bullets and w/o messing with the bolt face but will not stack well.

In the end one will get more performance out of the 358 winchester wiht 220-250gr bullets.

Also the 35(358)-284, obviously...

With high pressure gas jetting from the cylinder gap to cut your skin? Not a good idea

 

[Jim Watson]

You would just have to have a deflector under the gap.

I love wants for "reasonably priced" stuff. What is usually meant is "cheap." Which will discourage anybody who might actually offer such a product because he will see he could not make any money off of it.

 

[Mitlov]

Pump-action carbines in 5.56 and 7.62x39mm that take standard AR and AK magazines, respectively. Basically, I'd like something like the now-deceased Remington 7615P for the current civilian market (though I don't know if it took standard AR mags). People may ask "why not just get an AR-15," but in addition to those people who live in ban states, Canada, and Australia, there's just something to be said for the low maintenance, low cost, and ammo insensitivity of a pump-action (all reasons why pump-action shotguns are far more popular than autoloading shotguns).

But the market is FULL of cheap pump-action shotguns and cheap bolt-action rifles and "entry-level" AR-15s and inexpensive striker-fired polymer pistols. I can't believe this would be the case if manufacturers were losing money on each sale.

 

[Jim Watson]

Those are cheap versions of guns for which there are already designs and an established market. Lots of people would like to have a Super Pigeon Grade Model 12 but can only afford a Mossberg, etc.

I am talking about stuff like:
"A NICE, affordable over under with a top barrel in 30-06 and a bottom barrel in 12 gage, but as smooth as a ruger red label."
I was reading 60 years ago about how "modern machining technology" was going to bring us "affordable" double shotguns and even "affordable" double express rifles. I gave up the wait a long time ago.
