What are your next 5 gun purchases?

In the order I envision it happening, though it never works out that way.

1. Bergara Premier HMR in 6.5
2. Some sort of over under 12 ga. Leaning towards Citori
3. Smith 686 SSR
4. some sort of J frame Smith. Also looking at the Kimber K6.
5. Another 45/70, undecided but leaning towards 1885 high wall

Also I'll probably build a couple of ARs I have lowers for before I obtain all of the above.
 
I don’t have 5 purchases planned out.
I have 2 planned.

1. Ruger Redhawk 5050 .45 ACP / .45 Colt
2. Ruger Redhawk 5059 .357 Mag 8 shot revolver.
I had actually planned to by either a S&W TRR8 or an M&P R8 but S&W ticked me off over their antics with a model 60 Pro, which I sold. If the Rugers make me happy I will move forward and that will be great. If not, I may consider one of the new S&Ws.

3, 4 and 5 may be older S&W revolvers. Possibly a nice original Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt. I am really not sure. Heck, maybe I will buy me a Glock 21. Nothing is set in stone...except that first Ruger.
 
CZ 527 204 Ruger Varmint
Dan Wesson DWX Full Size
280ai if I can find one I like at a very good price
DWX Semi Compact if the above is as good as I think it may be
 
AK in 5.56 (PSA, Zastava, and WBP are supposed to be producing and/or importing these in the near future)
Galil Ace in either 5.56 or 7.62x39
Colt Anaconda (if they decide to make new production versions)
Ruger Super GP100 in .357
CZ97

Honorable mention:
New Zpap with 1.5mm receiver
 
Hmmm. I had not thought about buying five more guns. I have been thinking about a Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag with a four inch barrel. Perhaps one of the new short barreled pump shotguns in .410.
That is about it.
 
Shooting handguns is less fun, due to my hands not aging well, so, I have shifted attention to long guns. My next two or three “guns” are likely to be AR15 uppers, to complete lower units already on-hand.

A somewhat light-weight, practical/tactical bolt-action rifle has been on my to-do list, for a while.

I am always susceptible to being tempted my nice single-action sixguns, which I usually acquire pre-owned, at a large local dealer, so is dependent upon what appears in the display case.
 
I am not actively seeking any particular firearm at the moment. I already have a comfortable Accumulation.

I would like to stumble into both a VG-condition Gen1 Colt SAA revolver chambered in .45Colt and also a VG-condition G/K43 selbstlader rifle for outstanding prices (read: ridiculously low) but I will be holding my breath on neither account. ;)

I periodically toss out the idea that there may be a fellow collector out there with a surplus of G/K43s that would like to own one (or more) SVT-40s (to defray the cost of the German rifle), but, so far, no bites. :(
 
gun show in my area today would love to go but with the mass amounts of people surely to be there and COVID no way I'm risking it.

My problem is when I go on gun broker or a similar site and lurk and start typing in word searches like "Argentine" Venezuelan" Chilean" "CMP" "surplus" contract mauser" "K98" "Mosin" "m1 carbine" "Yugolslavian" "Romanian" "FN mauser" "Colt" "Enfield" and ON AND ON it gets me in my credit card in trouble :p
 
The next 5 good deals I come across most likely

Short (but not that short) list would be:
Glock 10mm
44spl revolver
Youth rifle for elk/deer
SxS shotgun in 20ga or 28ga
 
How many of you have discovered that, while fun to shoot, the Ruger 10/22 can be something of an "ammo waster"? That doesn't make it any less desirable but that is part of what is holding me back on one of the guns I am considering. The other part is that they are as scarce as hen's teeth and that is the Keltec CMR-30 rifle in .22 Magnum. I already have the Keltec pistol PMR-30 and both guns use the same 30 round magazines. Considering the price of .22 Magnum ammo and its possible reliability problems (being a rimfire), I am reluctant to buy one of these.
At this time, I'm not really looking to add to my collection.
 
If another gun 'comes along' it will be a Ruger 10/22. That would be a first.

Interesting comment, and the state govts can be more sneaky and subversive regarding our present laws than the federal govt.

I'll play.
1. Put me in the camp of a Colt Anaconda if Colt starts making them again.
2. A Colt SAA
3. Auto Ordnance Thompson with the forward wooden grip
4. Tavor 7
5. POF Rogue

Honorable mentions;
4-5" Ruger Redhawk in 44, 454 casull, or 480.
FN competiton ar15
FN ar10
Armalite ar10
9mm ar
9mm ak
Some other flavor of 9mm semi auto carbine
9mm double action revolver of some type with a 4" or longer barrel.
Bfr in 460
Freedom Arms model 83 454, with 45 colt and 45 acp cylinders.
50 Bmg bolt action
460 lever action from bighorn armory

Guess I am getting carried away, but it really just depends on what's available for the right price and if I happen to come across it.
 
Well I got a yugo m76 being built by awo that I need to pay off soon, then I definitely want a new python. A 1911 in .45 is a must, a 30-30 repeater most likely a winchester and a model 29 are on my to buy list.
 
Don't have five I want. Maybe three, which would be an over/under skeet gun, a decent 870 to replace the one I had to cannibalize to fix my son's TC which cracked the receiver, and maybe a little higher end 22 rf than my 10-22 (with Kidd trigger, Shaw barrel and Ruger target stock) or my CZ455 Varmint. Probably forgo the last as I haven't peaked with the ones I have.
5" 27 would be ideal #4. 788 30-30 is #5.
 
Next 5 on my list;
1- Mossberg 500 field/security combo ( to back up my current 20 plus year old one)
2- a 16inch 30-30
3 a 3 inch kimber K6
4 I’ve always wanted a fancy semi auto shotgun for pheasant
5 I’ve always wanted a fancy O/U for clays
Also on the list M1a scout and a Glock 23
 
Hmm.

The only one I know for sure is a Sig p225 since I have a line on one and a gentleman's agreement has been made for me to buy it when I have the funds.

Other than that, the only thing on my list is a second EDC X9, probably will end up selling 2 or 3 of my current guns to fund it.

Else... I'm pretty good. Maybe a little .22 rifle down the road when my son learns to shoot, or that new DW DWX if it ever gets out and gets good reviews.
