What are your favorite rifles? If you could own a select number of rifles (lets say around ten at most) what rifles would they be?

I think mine would be:
PSL Romanian Dragunov style 7.62x54r
New Winchester stainless synthetic model 70 .300 mag
Kimber montana in .300 mag or 30/06
Remington 700 in .308
and then a customized ak-47, ar-15, or some type of m14/m1a (probably a gas piston AR though :))
Marlin 336 30-30
 
M1 Garand by Winchester
M1C
M1941 Johnson
M1903 by Remington
M40
M14
AR-10
AR-15
FN/FAL
Thompson M1921 by Colt
 
Well, paring down the several dozen I have to 10, and substituting a couple of haves for wants would be quite an exercise, but certainly MOST of the top ten I already have, and would include, at a minimum, my DPMS LR260-L, CZ 550 FS in 9.3x62, CZ 453 Varmint in .17 HMR, Sporterized swede 94 Mauser in 6.5x55, "No. 6" Enfield jungle carbine 7.62x51, Bushmaster XM15 E2 20" 5.56x45 w/Ceiner conversion kit, Marlin 1895 .45-70, Savage 10 ML .50 cal smokeless powder ML, and a couple more. It'd be tough to decide those last few however. The Kel-Tec RFB and the Savage 12 F Class PTR in 6.5-284 (or a custom long range turnbolt) would probably fill the last 2 spots.

These would get honorable mention:

--Remington Model Seven in .243 Win
--M1 Carbine (USGI)
--LSI Puma 92 in .454 casull
--Marlin 39TDS .22lr
--Izhmash Biathlon Basic .22lr
 
My wish list:
-Norinco NDM-86 in 7.62 NATO
-FN SCAR-H
-AR-15 carbine with ACOG*
-AKM*
-Kar 98K sniper*
-Marlin Model 60*

*= I already own these.
 
If I'm stuck to 10 it would go like this:

M1 Garand
Remington 700 in .308
Anschutz 54 action though Im not sure on which stock or barrel.
BRNO/CZ 511
CZ 527 in .22 hornet
CZ 550 Safari Magnum in .375 H&H
Savage model 12 VLP in .223
Marlin 336 in .30-30
Transferable M16
I guess an SKS as well for good measure

I think that would keep me happy for a while.
 
Haves:
M1 Garand
10/22
1873 45lc
POF 308 mrr
Sig 556

Wants:
1892 45lc
New Win M70 super grade 30-06
New Win M70 super grade 25-06
New Win M70 SS syn stock 300 wsm
New Win M70 SS syn stock .25 wsm

Can' tremeber if the .25 is a wsm or wssm. But this all assumes I can still reload. Else I would reduce it down to only .22lr, .223, .308 and 30-06. The lever would be .357. (most available ammo)

Thanks Dr. Winslow, you had some good picks on your list too. 10 is not nearly enough, I had to skip a few varmint rifles I would like, a sporter weight high quality rimfire, and some of the "pretty" rifles I would love too.

Had to narrow it down to rifles for competition (if I am ever able to get back into any of those games) and solid tough hunting or tactical rifles made to be used.

I guess the AR's I have listed could fill double duty as varmint rifles in a pinch though.

I also was not able to select a big .50 BMG, but the cost of shooting is too prohibitive and frankly the .338 Lapua would take care of those needs just as well for me.
 
1. FN SCAR
2. AR15 (maybe a POF or LWRC)
3. Arsenal AK
4. RobArm XCR
5. Remington 700
6. Ruger 10/22
7. HK SL8
8. M1 Garand
9. Barrett .50 BMG
10. Either Bushmaster ACR or Sig 556
 
Being I'd sleep with my Tikka .243 if I coudl I would have to say that is my top rifle, and being I already have an AR a marlin 336 and a CZ 452 I'll add my future wants:

Springfield M1A
Remington Nylon 66
Remington 700 Varmint barrel laminate .243
 
1. Remington 700 or Surgen action custom stock Bartelien 20" 5R rifled barrel, surefire supressor, Bager Ordinance bottom metal with 10 round detachable mag. Custom paint job, BUIS, and topped off with a Nightforce 3-15 50mm scope.

2. M1A with a Troy stock (grip and stock selection is undecided on at the moment), 20" barrel, BUIS and a Nightforce 1-4 (or 5 can't remember).

3. AI .338 Lapua Magnum with a Nightforce scope (see #1).

4. Custom 1911

5. Mossberg 500 with a 6 pos. stock pistol grip Eotech optic, ghost ring and a bead for iron sights and a 20" barrel.

6. H.S. Precision Pro-Series pistol, custom stock, BUIS and a handgun optic.

7. A McMillian Tac-50, custom stock BUIS and a high power Nightforce or S&B scope

8. Remington 700 or Surgen action with all of #1 but in 30-06 and a 26" barrel instead of a 20" barrel because I'm an American citizen. (30-06)

9. An LWRC SBR in .223 with BUIS, Eotech, and a vertical grip.

10. The best bolt action .22 with all of the feature of #1 without the scope just BUIS, and a 20" barrel.



All Eotechs would ride on a LaRue mount and for the real scopes I would use Bager Ordinance for my mount and rings.

This is all in my head for when I can get it accomplished or a HUGE!!!!!! donation to the P.B. Walsh fund for Tactical Firearms (PBWTF), any amount is GREATLY appreciated. LOL........
For when SHTF I'll use #'s 1, 2, and 4.
I think those guns are only 10 of my many fantacies.
Thank you for looking into the mind of someone with ALOT of time on his hands.

I dont have an interest in having alot of rifles or excess amounts of any firearms, but after owning a mini-14 for many many years, a 10/22 for many years, a ruger model 77 MKII target rifle for many years, the AR-15 was really the only other rifle I wanted, there are a few that could be fun to have, but not important.
I have had a glock for a long time and have no need for any handguns beyond the pistol my wife uses also.
 
1. Savage 25 .22lr.......... My first rifle
2. Nice M4 ........ Probably a Noveske, Colt or similar
3. Anshutz .22lr........ Dont know which model
4. Sharps .45-70
5. M24
6. Garand
7. MsMillan .50
8. Accuracy International rifle in .308
9. Marlin 30-30
10. Nice safari rifle in 375 H&H

- SCAR in 7.62 x 39

- HK417

- Saiga in .50 Beowulf

- FG42

- STG44

- a "Fuenfling" 5-barrelled R/S combo in 338 Lapua/10ga

..i guess that would suffice
for a start.

(...i forgot... a case of AKMs buried in the garden
in case anything really happens.)
