What Is Your Dream Rifle?

No classes to take at the College , this week . So plenty of time to think about rifles and hunting . What is each of your dream rifles to own ?

For me , it has got to be a Krieghoff side by side double rifle in 9.3x74 mm R ( Rimmed ) calibre . Box-lock , double triggers , automatic ejectors , 25 inch barrels . As much as I adore my .458 Winchester Magnum , I have always dreamt of hunting a marauding Royal Bengal tiger with a 9.3x74 mm R .
FG 42

I already own my dream rifle. Ruger No.1 A 7X57, Now I just need to get it restocked with a beautiful hunk of Walnut. Light, short, easy to negotiate in a blind or brush. Completely capable of cleanly taking plains game and elk or moose without punishing the shooter. It suits me
 
Since I already own something I love, I can tell you what my *next* dream rifle is:

Let's see who can identify it (pretty easy). My caliber of choice would be .450.
 
My problem remains every time I procure my dream rifle another comes along and reignites the smoldering embers. Gonna be awhile now as I start to recover AGAIN from this damn covid.
There's always another deal, another gun. If one isn't mindful about being content (talking to myself here), it's easy to develop a problem.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
