What is the one gun you have been looking for and have not bought yet?

[Marshwheeling]

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.

 

[ostlund]

One of these:
454 Casull or an original short magnum.
Pre 64 .264 WM.
Pre 64 .300 WM.
Pre 64 .458 WM.
Already have a .338 WM.

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.

 

[Bubba2014]

A model 520 that was made for the NYSP.

 

[375hh1973]

SxS .470 Nitro

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

 

[Empe]

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.

 

[Chukar60]

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.

 

[BigBill]

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.

 

[4speed]

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

 

[Beemerguy53]

Good thread here!

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

 

[johnbeaver]

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

 

[challer61]

Fostec origin
Janz Revolver
Smith 610

 

[bobcat]

T/C encore stainless pro hunter, can't find one now that the panic is on. Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda...

 

[GT_80]

3" J-frame, pre Hillary hole preferable, preferably blued. Had a super nice Square butt model, should have kept it - But I may get a modern Model 60

Vintage blued .22lr revolver snubnose

Colt Detective special in decent shape

Smith and Wesson governor or Taurus Judge

SVT40

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

 

[SPEEDGUNNER]

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.

 

[rbrbrb6]

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.

 

[Buford57]

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.

 

[SF VET]

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

 

[rjroberts]

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"
