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.
