Not produced anymore, keeping your eye out hoping to come across.
A temberwolf .357 would be as nice find.

My sister's Marlin 30-30. I've been begging her for years to sell it to me! I also would like a 3 inch 657, pre lock of course.
 
For me a Marlin 1894CB (Cowboy) in .32 H&R Magnum (only made from 2004-2006) to go with my equally scare Ruger "Buckeye" Blackhawk convertible in 32-20 with the aux .32 H&R Mag cylinder.

Some weird ones:

Vepr Hunter with a left hand stock in either .308 or 7.62x54

Hakim 8mm

HK 770

Marlin Camp Carbine .45ACP

Rossi 92 in .454 Casull

Medusa

LAR Grizzly in .357 Magnum
 
Mine would be the Ruger Security/Service/Speed Six revolvers as well as the Smith K-frame M&P Magnums - the Model 13 and 65.

I always liked those mid size .357 Magnums, and I feel that they filled a need that many new models cannot fill. For example, the GP100 and L-frames are too big, and the SP101 and J-frame Magnums are too small. However, the Ruger Six series and the K-frame .357s offer a nice balance of compactness and power.
 
CCantu357, you & I are on the exact same frequency! I'm pining for a nice Model 13, already have the 65, as well as a pair of 66's and a 19.

I have 3 nice 6" SS Security Sixes, as well as a SS 'Bicentennial' 4". I also have a 2 3/4" SS Service Six, and a NIB 4" SS Service Six. Still looking for a SS Speed Six in any barrel length to round out that set. To me, the Security Six is the perfect balance of size, safety, and reliability for the 357 mag.

I always felt that the only reason Ruger went from the Six Series to the GP100 was to follow S&W's lead with the L Frames. I've heard all the stories about Bill Ruger discontinuing the Security/Service/Speed Six because he claimed he never made a dime off of them, but, if put back into production now I bet they'd make a boatload of dimes! GP100's kind of sit there on the used market at pretty standard price levels, but the Security Six's and their kin are climbing every day as they get snatched up by folks who have come to realize the utility of the outstanding design.

I've also got my eye out for a used (I buy 'em all used, or at least try to) Sp101 357 with the 4.2" barrel and adjustable sights. I've already got the 22 version, but feel the 357 in that model would be the perfect 'woods' gun.

The Hakim is one loud rifle, the flash hider seems to vent the noise sideways. I always had plenty of spacearound me at the gun range when I was shooting it but I had paid $69 for 1000 rounds shipped from Paragon. It was the "biggest" gun I ever owned.

My interest is mostly in high quality traditionally made firearms and the easiest way to afford them, is to buy used when a good deal comes up. I have no list but a good idea what I would like to add.

Most of my wish list is made of discontinued models: model 13 or 65 with 3" barrel. Model 696. 3913 auto. Colt SAA in .44 spl. Colt Python. Colt Detective Special. S&W 547 with 3" barrel. Astra Constable in .22 l.r. Star Firestar 9 mm. And so on
 
An army Colt 1908 Hammerless. The kind Patton carried Mexican style in the movie as a backup to his 45 revolvers.

I had a chance at one a few years ago at a pawn shop that was going out of business. Still kicking myself for not getting it. A guy in my CC class had one and I drooled over it.

I had a Marlin Camp Carbine 45. Wish I never sold it. I reloaded on two progressive presses and shot thousands of lead boolit rounds through it and it never ever jammed even though my hands would get black from the crud. I had to replace the recoil buffer several times.
