I have lots of dreams. Maybe just a three gun thing. A 6.5X55 in a 20" barrelled fullstock '17 Enfield and one in 9.3X62. Maybe a 450-400 double in a Searcy, a very plain one with claw mounts and a quality scope with circle dot reticle. Packy

A model 71 lever gun in .348


I agree, but I already have one. It is the best lever gun I ever handled/shot.

The dream gun I don't have would be a Newton rifle in 256. An old hunting buddy had a beautiful one.

One of ForrestA's cast offs...

If I'm remembering right, he is the one with that gorgeous Duanne Wiebe 7x57 Mannlicker. That one would work fine for my dream rifle.

My true dream rifle would be JOC's 270 Win built by Biesen.

Back to the reality of actually being able to own. I had custom 270 done on a Kimber action. It performed flawlessly this past fall.

The Rigby refered to by ElCabelaro on gunbrokers would suit me quite nicely.

Since I have pretty much every gun I could practically want, this is a very difficult question and has taken me a few days to think of something.

That said, there are two guns which I think would be awesome for shits and giggles.

1. A Sharps 45-120 rifle in a Creedmore configuration.

2. A Barret .50 cal. Bolt action.

Uh oh, I just thought of something!!

My daughter will be hitting her teens in about 5-6 years. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Tommy gun with a 100 round magazine for her new suiters to admire!! shocker thumb

I just remembered another:
I have a .270 Ackley Improved reamer in my garage shop. Surely with TODAY'S powders this round may need another look???
I also have a 24" stainless Win 70 Classic Sporter barrel in the shop in .270 Win. I have a Ruger 77 MII in switch barrel mode.
Chips happen!

Dream rifle?

You guys are all lightweights, if you are gonna dream don't dream about a vacation on the titanic in 3rd class....

Dream BIG.

I'm NOT going to dream about something I can see in a catalog
or at a local gunshop.... I'll just save for those and frikkin' buy one!

My dream rifle? An ORIGINAL John Rigby Mauser in 416Rigby.
this is the rifle I'd seek wherever I'd have to go and pay whatever I had to pay AFTER I won the PowerBall lottery.

the next on my list? a Military configuiration Thompson M1

third? an A4 BAR

Fourth? Ma Duce.

Fifth? shiny new Barrett.

Sixth? ever since seeing one in the Tremors movie sequel I've wanted a quad 50 mount
on my own 5ton 6x6 truck.

Like I said, dream for something BIG.

Alrighty then... I'll have me a Cobra Gunship... for hunting whitetails, of course.

I could put on a drive, and sit in my stand at the same time!! thumb

How bout a real oddball...I'd love a Ruger No. 1 in 6.5x68S. Would also need to sharpen that shoulder from 14* to 30*, while we're at it. Yep, chamber that in a Lilja 26" barrel and I'd be happy.

Also a stainless 22" Marlin 336 in 7 Waters with Williams open sights.

Well I always wanted an AI AWSM, but i guess getting one is only a matter if finishing school and getting a job, so probably soemething harder to get, a Gewehr 98 or a Karabiner 98k

Dreaming is cheeper that buying!!!
So I think a Weatherby MK5 Lazermark cal. 257 Weat Mag, would be the gun from my dream.
About six or seven years ago I have one of this... One day I sold this for an other gun: this was my biggest mistake!!!
