Curious if guys here have any calibres or guns they would love to own one day.

For me it's a double in either 9.3x74r or 450-400 NE. The latter is my preference but really don't think I'd have more than one or two opportunities in my life to use it.

A 404 Jeffery would be the other (bolt version of a 450-400NE).

A Rigby rifle is at the top of the list for me but I'm unlikely to have a spare $10-20k anytime soon. A Brno ZG47 in original condition would be my second choice.

What about other folks?

You pretty much nailed it as far as my wish list goes, but you misspelled “Caliber”.

I'm looking forward to 8.6 Blackout once it gets SAAMI spec, otherwise I've tried most of the ones that interest me.

A bit more than 4 years later, and they still haven’t gotten SAAMI approval

 

[6mm Remington]

I have a Ruger 1B in 6mm Remington and a Ruger 1B in 30-06. I also have a custom build on a Model 70 in 280AI. I don't need another 280AI, but one in a Ruger 1B sure would be sweet to complete the trifecta or awesomeness!

Build a Winchester Model 70 controlled feed action into a 6mm Remington. Build the proper 6mm Remington that Winchester should have chambered in their Model 70 in addition to the .243 Winchester.

Yeah, it didn’t stop me though, I’ve had one for 3 years or so. It’s pretty fun when the 350 grain subs hit steel at 300 yards. Challenging but rewarding to load for.

I have always wanted a 250 Savage in a lever gun. Dont know why or what I would do with it but I want one. Every one I have ever seen was in terrible condition.
I also would like a 358win in a lever gun…

I'm starting to get the itch for a 22-250 or 220 swift for a rifle I can shoot all varnits (coyotes to skunks) with that I can also take out and shoot affordably. Reloading of course. I'm scoping up my 17 hmr again currently. But an kinda pissed at current prices. 20 bucks for a box of 50 ain't rimfire prices. So am now thinking of a centerfire varmit rifle and just reload. Or maybe a 17 remington

Take a look at 22ARC, its got some great features.

Will do, thanks

I shot both my 22-250 and 17hmr yesterday. Love both of them.
I think the 17hmr is one of the best plinking/practice rimfire rounds there is. Great accuracy (if no wind) and ballistics 200 and under, great for developing good shooting habits. Buy a 3” gong, turn the scope power all the way down, and practice all kinds of shooting stances and angles.

 

[elevatorman]

Ive had a 17 hmr for a long time. It can cut baseball cards in half at 50 yards reliably It's so accurate. Loved the savage 93r17 so I bought the same exact gun in 22 a few years later to shoot on the cheap. Just never got around to scoping the 17 back up till now. My 22 will keep a 1" mpbr (+/- .5") to 66 yards. The 17 hmr will do it to 128 yards. That's a long way to hold dead on and shoot a squirrel in the noggin. It is a fun gun to shoot and plink with.
