CZ 82. I would probably settle for a CZ 83. I haven’t really been looking, but if one presented itself at anywhere near the right price, I would grab it.

For me its a pristine Mannlicher-Shoenauer 1903 mountain carbine in 6.5X54. Missed one at auction a few years back when I was feeling a bit financially embarrassed. They were advertised "Fur das Alpine Jaeger"; they are light, fast handling, with a cartridge akin a 30-30 on steroids.

A model 520 that was made for the NYSP.

Just cant bring myself to spend that kinda money on a gun. Have come close several times, most recently on a Krieghoff. Was a heck of a deal but was still too much

I have always wanted a Winchester Model 52 Sporter .22 bolt action rifle. However I've watched the prices climb over the years to the point that I would need to pay several thousand $$ for one in nice condition . A very nice rifle but worth way more than I could justify paying.

At one time I owned many of the guns listed. Problem was, once obtained I came up with another want. My grail guns changed as quickly as the Nazi enigma machine, daily. Far from rich I traded them in on the next want. Pawn shop REM 30s fifty bucks. AH fox 16 gauge 2bbl set 150 bucks. Pre divorce I had 5 AHFoxs, 6 Parker’s, Cogswell & Harrison 375HH, 10 M 70s, a bunch of M12s and many revolvers like early 29s. Al of these were found hitting small gunshots or pawn shops and gun shows.

Now as I am staring the age of 75 in the face I sold most of my post divorce collection. Still have rifles, 4 Kimbers, 2 SWs k22 and a no dash 66, kimber target match 1911, colt over an Essex frame that is a super shooter, Dads Ruger SS 4.75 3 screw and more

My only got to have it gun was a Kimber made in Yonkers 22lr. Found one last fall. And a Kimber Montana in 243. Dropped a nice buck at 360 yards with it. So my last 2 wants have been satisfied very well.

Marlin 336, pre-safety in 30-30 or 35 Rem.
Now it seems that I may be too late. Prices on pre-safety Marlin lever guns is going nuts.
Time to hit the pawn shops and start looking for one that slipped through the cracks or I won’t ever have one.

Well my wanted revolver i haven’t bought yet,

S&W m29-10 44 mg/6.5” nickel

The Klingon hole doesn’t matter it’s still a s&w. Probably my last gun purchase.

well I have a 125th anniversary Colt SAA in 45 Colt
so I want a S&W 125th anniversary Model 25 in 45 Colt
and a JM Marlin 1894 in 45 colt to go with them

I also have a Marlin 1897, with half octagon barrel, half length magazine and checkered pistol grip stock, so I want the 100th anniversary Marlin 1897 as well, ......... oh and a 38 S&W with a "V" on the bottom of the grip frame

Good thread here!

I've been wanting a S&W Model 41 for years, along with a Winchester-marked M1 Garand...

One. Seriously.
27-2 3.5 would be first.
But there's more.
Lots more.

I have been slowly wittling away at my want list for years, it keeps getting shorter, then adding another

I have been after a PSP (PA STATE POLICE) Ruger Security Six .357MAG with provenance for a number of years. The Ruger represents the last revolver used as a duty weapon by PSP before the adoption of the Beretta 96D in .40S&W. Very difficult to find for some reason.

I am fortunate in that I have fulfilled all my gun wishes over the last 20 years. With a passion for custom single action revolvers that has been my area of focus. In fact, I just recently started letting some of these guns go to new owners so someone else can enjoy them.

I started this with pretty much the same attitude as biku324. On further reflection, finding a Savage 99 in .300 (I've had a .250, a .243 and multiple .308s), a Ruger #3 in .30-40 (had .22 Hornet and .45-70) or a #1 International in 7x57 at a price I could afford would be a treat, but none have been a quest.

EMPI, about 25 years ago, bought a Win 52 (B?) in .22, new, put a 4 power scope on it, still have the box and manual, and it will shoot CCI MiniMag at 100m yards in a one inch circle. $500 or so as I recall. They really are a superb .22 target rifle. Plus, they really look nice, too. They do see to rather costly nowadays. SF VET

Henry Golden Boy .22 lever rifle (to go with my "Big Boy" 44mag.)
29 or 629 4" (not a need, just a want since my 69 serves just fine.
K-22 Outdoorsman, 4"

H&K P7, Luger, Trapdoor Springfield. Not in that order.

S&W Model 63-4, 5" barrel, .22LR.

Colt 2020 Python 4.25" barrel.

S&W 5906. Just haven't found one at the right price. Love my 39-2's, and would like the double stack version.

I remember (not completely sure) Navy Arms offering a trapdoor carbine chambered in 45 Colt back in the 1980's? ... I would love to see one and buy one someday...

The gun at the top of my list, that I have a realistic chance of eventually getting, is the Model 520 NYSP. I have seen precisely one for sale, but was unfortunately broke at the time.

The gun I do not have a realistic chance of getting, but really want, is a 1928 Thompson. I’ll need to win the lottery to afford the Thompson.

I have been looking for this revolver for about 3 years. There are not many of them in the US since there is not a current distributor for them. I finally scored it a couple of weeks ago.

Here is a link: Additional Pictures of Manurchin MR73

Colt Detective Special, which was the first firearm I pulled a trigger on as a lad of about 10 years old

Colt Series '70' stainless Government model. I have a Series 70 blued & a Series 80 blued as well. But I really want that high polish stainless.

I've never seen one for $500 ! ...would you like to get your money back ?

My dream gun is...

I have been able to shoot one and it made me want one even more.

^^^ I am forgetting right now...that is Israeli, right? Thanks in advance.

I have held one 16-4 in my hand, owned by a friend. I have not seen another in person for sale though I have only been looking since 2004.
Another one I saw at a range but have not seen since is a Dan Wesson in 45 Colt 6". From the way it shot I would pull out the plastic in a hurry.

I won’t know it till I see it.

Then I’ll have to have it.

But also a Sig P220 Match Elite with a Robert Burke trigger job or an Alchemy Custom Prime Elite spec’d out to my preferences.

A nice Manufrance Ideal would be a nice addition.

One of mine is about to be on its way to me. I have a 4" model 24-3 with box and docs, and have been looking for one in 6.5" that I was willing to lays down the Benjamins for. Well, yesterday I found it on another forum. As new in the box, likely unfired since the factory, 3Ts, and reasonably priced. I did not hesitate. I'll post pics when it arrives.

Very interesting thread.I am fortunate to have owned or still own many of the treasures listed.While always focused on S&W`s I liked them all.Working part time in a busy gun shop for 35 years with a lot of trade traffic helped me acquire many of my wants.The only S&W I have searched for and yet to see is a model marked (Model 20) 38-44 heavy duty in blue or nickel, maybe someday.
