Do you have a bucket list gun?

[frankwright]

One you have no use for but you have always wanted one?

Tell me about yours and here is mine. I guess I watched too many black and white gangster movies when I was a kid!

 

[SC Hunter]

I want to build one. A 220 swift built on a 700 action with a medium weight barrel and nightforce scope. I had one years ago and sold it like an idiot because I wanted something else. If I ever get around to putting another one together I won't get rid of it. I've even thought about going with a 22-250 because brass and ammo are a little easier to find.

I'd like a real expensive over under 20 gauge so I can look fancy while I miss birds and skeet. Haha

 

[TJay]

Yes. A Remington 700 Classic in .280 Remington. I love the way those old Classics fit and would probably have to pull the trigger if I stumbled up on one. They are kind of scarce since they were limited run rifles and there's only so many out there.

In order from least attainable to most attainable:

Light Tank w/ functional main gun

Transferable PKM

KAC M110A1

S&W 327 SC Jerry Miculek Model

 

[GregoryB.]

Ruger #1B in 300 H&H. Ruger cataloged it through Lipsey’s several years ago. Ordered one but a #1 S came in and I sent it back. Just didn’t care for the looks of that model. Lipsey’s said it was a misprint.

 

[Nicodemus]

This one, but I want two. 45-70 and 22 magnum.

My wife and I were talking the other day. I told her when I finish school in a few years I'm going to buy myself a rifle just like yours. That 270 is a beauty, a 22 magnum like you posted would never be left at home when I was walking around in the woods.

One of my bucket list guns was obtained late last year after a three year wait while the smith had it.
Colt Government Model custom build.
My son and I shot it on our last range session. Looking forward to running many rounds through it in the years ahead.

I have been fortunate enough to tour the Shiloh sharps arms factory a couple times over the years with my students. The folks there walked us through the entire process. They let those boys freely handle the most high end rifles. The guy said that they could be future customers. One of those boys a couple years ago put in a special order that is one of the most beautiful rifles I have ever seen.

 

[Bobby Bigtime]

A Winchester 1895 in 405

 

[Robert28]

1853 Enfield with confederate provenance

 

[Buck70]

Thompson model 1928 with a smooth forearm

 

[Mars]

I'd like to have the collection on the set of Shooting USA. I have the M1A so 4 to go.

 

[Ruger#3]

Ruger #1 Stainless in .308. Not many around, don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance at one within my budget.

 

[GregoryB.]

Barrett 82A1, realistic one day gun

Browning M2 full auto as a never gonna happen without a huge lottery win

You get that M2 and I will be your Assistant Gunner. I have made many a barrel glow orange on those.

 

[GregoryB.]

Ruger #1 Stainless in .308. Not many around, don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance at one within my budget.

That’s on my list also. I would like a RSI model.

 

[35 Whelen]

Remington Model 700 Classic in 7x57 Mauser.

 

[pacecars]

I have been trying to pick them off one by one. There are still a “few” to go

 

[deerslayer357]

My dream guns:

A Winchester 21 28 gauge

A Winchester 61 in 22 magnum

The first one will never happen, the second will when I find one that I can look at in person before buying.

Also on the list but more obtainable are several Ruger no 1’s (30/06, 270, etc) and a Browning Citori in 28 gauge.
