Dream Rifle

[TN2shot07]

I forgot about the 1873...

No fun in just one dream anyway

 

[MaddH]

One I already have is a Browning 1885 High Wall in 7mm Rem Mag

 

[Benfromalbuquerque]

Practical- Sako 90 Bavarian 270 WSM.

With soul- Sako 90 Bavarian 6.5x55 Swede.

 

[kodiakisland]

Bell’s Mannlicher-Schoenauer 6.5x54mm would be mine.

I have my Marlin 1895 CB 45-70 but have always wanted a nice Sharps. No money will be spent in the future, however.

Forgot about the Sharps, add that to my list. Passed on one 30hart ago and I’ve regretted it since

I have mine,used it the other day. Rem 700 30-06.
But.
Due to namesake reasons a Henry 45-70 would do.

I’ve never owned a lever gun. Sometime I need to remedy that, maybe 32 special.

And since the first rifle I bought was an ancient, shotout 7x57, I think a series of rifles directly based on that case would be excellent. 7x57, 257 Roberts, 6mm Remington. Either model 70’s, cause that’s what my dad shot, or single shots, maybe Dakota actions all case hardened.

I know it’s only money, and you can’t take it with you, but it’s only stuff, and you can’t take that, either.

Next on the list is an O’Connor, then god only knows. Maybe I’ll deep dive off into break action shotguns, maybe I’ll start chasing a Rosevelt (M95 in .405), maybe it’ll be a thermal set up for coyotes.

I like guns. My boys will collect their inheritance in firearms.

I like the idea of a 1895 in 405.

A Kirby cannon of some flavor. mtmuley

Man, I used to have a list of dream rifles. Now I just want to get away from my Savages and into something else.

I suppose a dream rifle for me is an M1 Garand. I’ll have one at some point, but doesn’t fall into the hunting rifle category.

It makes a fine hunting rifle if you know its limitations and can load up some Garand friendly hunting ammo for it. I killed two bucks with one I had, the first with military ball ammo, the second with a Nosler Accubond.

Here you go. Some fancy shop around Kalispell has (or had about a year ago, anyway) actual O'Connor-owned rifles plus tons of other high-end stuff; someone from that area will likely know the name as I don't recall it.

Bell’s Mannlicher-Schoenauer 6.5x54mm would be mine.

A nice Mannlicher or two would be nice. One in 6.5 and one in 9.5.

 

[longbow51]

I still want a falling block if I run across a beat-up No. 1 I can send to our favorite gunsmith. Some caliber I already load for; .223, .204, 25.06. Never got one because of accuracy concerns off the shelf.

I have two that very well could have been held by O’Connor, that I got out of the Huntington Store museum auction. One was stocked by Lenard Brownell and the other by Tom Shelhamer.

 

[Doublecluck]

I pretty much own all my dream rifles but wouldn’t mind owning some history. Lever action win, sharps, old wood stock bolt action, idk.. Gatling gun would be cool but not sure I would enjoy loading a pile of straight wall cartridges.
