What guns are on your short list?

[TheKySharpshooter]

I can't believe I forgot about the Les Baer Monolith 1911 in .38 Super! That easily replaces the Glock on my list.

 

[ect1222t]

At the top of my list of wished for guns are a M&P 15T, a 3" M-66, and a 4" M-651 with both cylinders, and will probably be on my most wanted list for several years. Lack of funds. Don't depend on social security to live on. You'll be dissapointed. -Ed.

A short list

S&W M586 with a 2" barrel.

I have been fortunate to find a 586 and 686 in each barrel length; 2", 4", 6" and 8-3/8" except for the elusive and rare M586 2".

 

[44wheelman]

646
845
627 in 38 super
5 screw pre29
1st,2nd, or 3rd model 44 special
and a DanWesson in 414 (.41 Supermag)

That's all; nothing tooo unusual

 

[Mickey D]

4" S&W 581 for starters.
Working on a Browning Hi Power right now.

 

[S/W - Lifer]

Nothing, really. I'd pretty much lost interest. Then when I had an hour to kill I stopped at a gunshop. On the shelf was the Winchester 1897 riot gun I'd wanted since I was 15 years old. The price was more than right and I grabbed it. It's going to make a nice housegun.

All that is left is a Winchester 62 and I'm done. I think my gun mania has gone into remission. If the 62 doesn't come my way I can live without it.

My short list is finally getting short for once. Just picked up a new AUG A3 a week ago, that will probably be the high mark of my collection for quite a while. And outfitting it will keep my wallet tied up for a while too.
What I can think of:
Model 57, new or old.
Marlin 336 Stainless, haven't had a .30-30 in about 10 years.
And a Glock 20SF to go along with the standard G20.

But, I'm pretty sure that as these wants get checked off, others will take their place. Probable dive deeper into Ithaca 37s and more leverguns or something.

I've been fortunate this year and last year too , for that matter. Last year I picked up a very nice series 70 Govt. Model in 38 super for $450.00. In spite of everything I've read about this gun in this caliber, mine is a very accurate shooter. I still need a box for this one.

Last month I was able to buy a Colt Python, from a good friend, that is basically new (the gun). This friend was aware of current pricing trends and made me a great deal on this gun. I was blown away when my oldest brother wrote me a check for the purchase price of the Python. Just something he wanted to do for me, I suppose. Yes, I do have a great brother and we are very close.

I was also able to pick up one of the Lipsey 44 special, Ruger flat top revolvers for much less than suggested retail ($469 OTD, IIRC). This revolver exceeds my expectations. It's the 5 1/2" version.

Right now the items on my short list are few. I still want a vintage AH Fox 20 guage in CE grade. I'd like to have a Remington Classic in 250 Savage at a reasonable price as I would like to hunt with it. NIB is not necessary, just in real good shape with no major cosmetic problems. I also have a burning desire for a Winchester model 63. And last but not least is a S&W model 696 to actually use as a carry gun. Again not NIB, but with no major problems.

I've been thinking about selling my Stolle Panda 6PPC bench rest rifle because I haven't fired it in a match for close to 2 years , I guess. I'd use the funds to pick up a 6.5/284 for the 1000 yard matches at the club I belong to. I guess I want a lot for hard times and I'm grateful for the guns I have. I never dreamed that I would be able to accumulate the guns I have. I am fortunate for a plain ole, small town country boy.

[Swissman]

Ok, let's see.... No, nothing is on the short list. How can you ask such cruel questsions to me? I've told you all some month ago: (read my lips) No more S&W's.
I got a nice collection. Period!
ok, maybe there could be an exception, but who knows what happens...???

+1 on that one, I find myself moving more into boats. But there is one-a 638-3. I really can't think of anything I remotely need or want that I don't already have. It's depressing to go into a store and realize that what I've got is nicer than the stuff they're selling.

 

[NCTexan]

Want to round out my collection with a stainless Sig P232.
