Gun or caliber you’ve never owned but always wanted?

A little boring, but for me it's .30-06. I've never had one but always look at them and think it's a handy looking cartridge. Nothing fancy.

 

.45-70

 

I've got a hankering for a couple Winchester 1895's, one in 30-40 Krag, the other in 405.

An old hammer double in 450-400. Still kicking myself for buying some cool Winchester M70's instead of the double at the same show... LOP was a bit short so I passed... And kicking myself for holding out on a 577 double a few months back that I should have bought just for fun

And too many others

 

That’s one for me also ....

 

At DSC a few years ago there was this H&H Royal. I was busy darkening out one of the zero's in the $200K price tag when security showed up. Mostly I remember being escorted away than the actual details of the rifle.

 

M70 in 250-3000...had 1 opportunity to pick one up that was unaltered or messed with. 2nd lap around it was gone. Was in great condition and great price.

 

One gun I used to drool over and would still like to own is a Belgian made Browning Superposed, Midas grade. Out of my pay grade still, there's one with two sets of barrels on gunbroker for 24,500.

 

Bought a 70th Anniversary Edition in 257 a few years back. A little to fancy to hunt with so it's basically a range queen but it's a great shooter

 

A Colt Python an original Mannlicher in 7x57 and a Browning Superpoesd in 20g

 

An English 20 gauge SxS, built on a small Webley Screw-grip action, with Southgate ejectoctors and in it’s oak and leather case. The weight should be a tad under 6 lbs

 

@Dewald what are "Southgate ejectoctors"?

 

Me too.
(Great minds think alike my friend).

 

Even when you exclude doubles, there are always more than the bank account will allow....and then of course there has to be another safe too!!!

 

totally boring, and completely within reach.. but I've wanted one for years. and never have managed to pick one up..



Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70....

May be my 2020 birthday present to myself (2019 is already covered )...

 

The Mauser 66S Stutzen in .308 Winchester, the Winchester M1985 in .405 Winchester, the Merkel 141 in .450/400 3" NE, the Mannlicher-Schoenauer in 10,75x68, the Mauser M71/84 in 11,15x60R, the Ruger 77 RSM in .450 Rigby, the R8 in 500 Jeffrey....don't stop me now...

Shiloh Sharps 45-120 to my specs. Bought one for my father in law (ex) and it is ready to ship. Haven’t ordered one for myself (yet)!

 

The Quigley right?

 

I’m actually leaning toward a half round half octagon creedmore rifle. Dad has a Quigley.

 

Toss up between a Remington 760 in .35 Whelen or a Blaser R8 with barrels in 6.5 CM, .270, .30/06, 9.3x62, .300 Win mag, .338 Win mag, .257 Wby mag., .416 Rem mag and .375 H&H mag. (I’m avaricious).

 

Yes was watching that, not crazy about the endcap though.
