Rem 700 CDL 7mm Rem Mag or some 30 cal

Any Remington Classic ( I have 3-4 so far)

Maybe a biathlon rifle - 22 LR

Remington 788 in 30-30

Notice - This list is subject to change at any time w/o notice.
 
Just one. A CMP Eddystone. I'll take my chances with $350. I may wait until the shoot at Camp Pendleton in November and try to hand pick one.
 
Sorta kinda sorta been eyeing a stainless Tikka T3 in .270 sorta----need another rifle like a hole in the head----but anyway.

Oh ya---have a Ruger PC9 and a MAS 49/56(7.5mm) currently on lay-a-way as we speak.
 
1.) Remington 700 Sendero 300 RUM (If I can find one by the time I have money)

2.) CZ 550 Magnum in 416 Rigby. Send it to Shilen and rebarrel it to 338-378. (borrowed idea)

3.) Ruger 10/22

4.) Remington 700BDL in some .24-.27 that the girlfriend can kill deer with.

5.) Dare I say it..... another Ruger Mini-14 :(

I need a raise. :neener:

Ha, I just "finished" my short-term buy list of rifles (still have 2 shotguns and 2 handguns on the short term list). Although I have another 15 or so rifles on the long-term list, there is ONE more that I think I'm gonna put on the must-have-soon list, and that's the "Survivor" in .45 colt/ .410 3":

As many as I can afford before I die.

In the near future (the next year) though I plan on buying a M1 (not CMP) a 91/30 sniper, SAR-1 and 3 both with underfolding stocks, and a 98K (possibly sniper).
 
springfield socom 16
savage 112bvss in .300 winmag
tactical 12ga shotgun
lightweight ar for the future wife :rolleyes:
 
cueball, and the caliber of said Rem would be....?

OK, since I'm pretty well done with the short-term list, which covers most all North American hunting needs, defense/SHTF needs, pest control needs, and rimfires, here's the long-term wish list:

*milsurps/historical value pieces:
-More K31s and schmidt-rubin M1911s (inexplicable fondness for these)
-Finn M39 Mosin
-M1 Garand
-1903 A3 Springfield
-Jap Arisaka 99
-1917 and others.

*long-range SHTF interdictors:
-Barrett 82 / .50 bmg
-Good .338 lapua or other supermag .338 turnbolt

*general SHTF & fun rifles:
-Bushmaster FAL-mag-compat. AR10-type / .308 win
-FN 2000 / 5.56mm
-Daewoo K1 / 5.56mm
-PTR 91 / .308 win
-More AR uppers (6.5 grendel, .300 whisper, etc.)
-Some 9mm carbine that accepts the 71-round suomo (sp?) mag
-DSA FAL with all the bells & whistles / .260 rem

*hunters & multi-purpose rifles:
-Savage 10ML smokeless powder ML
-Tikka T3 or CZ 550 / 6.5x55mm swede
-Puma (Legacy Sports) M92 16" carbine / .454 casull & .45 colt
-Marlin 336 / .35 Rem or .30-30 win (still undecided)
-Rossi single shot 20" / .243 win
-Rem 7600 pump / .35 Whelen (if can find), OR CZ 550 in 9.3x62mm
-CZ 550 Safari / .375 HH mag
-CZ 550 American Safari Magnum / .458 Lott
-Savage FP10 LE II / .308 win
-Savage 99 / .308 win
-Marlin 1894 / .44 mag
-NEF Handi-rifle / .500 S&W Mag

*pest control, compet., & fun guns:
-Savage 12BVSS / .223 rem
-Howa Thumbhole Varminter Supreme (nutmeg/blue) / .243 Win
-AirForce Talon SS PCP airgun / .177 pellet
-AirForce Condor PCP airgun / .22 pellet
-RAP4 full-auto paintball marker .43 cal, M4 clone
-Cooper of Montana Varminter Extreme / 6mm PPC
-CZ 453 / .22 lr or .17M2
-Browning BL-22 / .22lr
-good full-auto airsoft true replica - maybe a G36 clone / 6mm BB

combined with current rifles, that would be a decent accumulation.

My freind, 280PLUS, has a CZ 527 that was an absolute dream to shoot. This thing had a trigger that could be set to fire with a thought. Accurate as heck. Shot 7.62 39 like a laser. Totally impressd me. Deffinitly on my gotta have list.
kid
 
My actual rifle needs are pretty well covered by the guns I have -- as soon as I pick up the pseudo-scout I just bought over at TFL, anyway. I do want a CMP M1 for fun shooting, though, and will likely order one in the next 1-2 months. I've given some thought to a Winchester 94 as a fun gun, too, though I can't really justify it (and .30-30 ammo prices!) in light of the guns I currently own.
 
I'd like to get a double rifle, one of those Spartans in 45/70 when they start showing up.
 
I'd like to try a Cooper in 25-06.

Remington 700 Titanium in undecided caliber.

Also thinking about 338 Lapua in ???

That should get me through this year :scrutiny:
 
My next rifle is going to be a battle rifle clone of some sort--either a JLD or DS Arms FAL in either a full rifle or carbine configuration. I hope to end up with an example of each. I also need an Arsenal AK just so I know how inadequate my WASR is.
I also want to build a new hunting rifle on a Montana M1999 action in an as of yet undecided caliber from .270 Win to .338 Win. And I imagine by the time I get that one built, I'll want a really nice precision rifle so I'll probably start on another one in .243 Win or .204 Ruger for target and varmint work.

Or at least that is the current and abridged list.
 
A boltgun in probably .308. Maybe a CZ550 American or the one with the Bavarian type mannlicher stock.
 
Sako Finnbear .338 Winmag

AK, AK variant or SKS (everyone should have one... :D )

Springfield Cavalry Carbine...and I know where it is...just have to get it...

M-70 Featherweight in 7x57

My Enfield truck carbine finished? Does that count? :rolleyes:

the old, beat up, trashed out 1911A1 that I had when I was in the Army...as loose and nasty as that thing was, I shot 200 with that damn thing...

I honestly wouldn't want any FA firearm...too much trouble in my oppinion...
 
FN F2000 semi-auto
FN P90 semi-auto
Remington 700 variant of some type. Maybe a .308 LTR or the VSS or PSS.
A Steyr Jeff Cooper Scout in .308 looks like it could be fun too.
 
CZ 550 American Safari magnum .375

Marlin 1894 CB .44 mag

OR

if Taurus makes the Thunderbolt in 44 mag...

One of these days I might buy a black rifle with a Colt logo.
 
Sheesh. Talk about proof that man's wants are infinite...

I have more rifles than I can shoot regularly. Thinking about trimming back some. But I still WANT:

-A levergun or 2
-An AR. Maybe 2. One in defensive guise, and one in varmit guise.
-Something is 6.5X55.
 
Remington 700 classic in 8mm (wish it came in stainless for corrosive ammo)
Sako 308 heavy barrel
Ruger #1V 25-'06
Win '94 357 16"
A bolt 22lr of good quality
A good semi for pigs and javs.

I'd take a double rifle for the safe (oh, and I need a safe too.)
 
A single shot crank bolt JC Higgins .22LR.

I'm not joking. I have a small project in mind to accurize one and have the perfect, for me, do-it-all .22 rifle for small game, benchrest, and smallbore sillouette.

Although, another M1, another K98k, '03A3, P17 Enfield, and several others would be nice.
