Alright lets go through the list, 22 semi, 22 bolt, 17 hmr bolt. Rimfires covered
bunch of shotguns. covered.
.222 and 30-06...

I need a 6.5x55, 6.5x284, or a 25-06 and Im all set. But regardless more will be bought afterwards!
Guns with nice wood are the only way I can keep myself from selling them...

;)I had a 'similar' calibre gap that I thought I should fill while I can still make use of it. To do so, I purchased a model 3000 Husqvarna from Why not? and now my life was complete.

Then, as luck would have it, an old friend and workmate decided to part with his 270 and for nostalgic reasons, I decided I 'needed' that one as well:redface:. It also filled another void for me, something with full length wood. So, after 40+ years of not having a 270, now I have two:D

Now you are getting the hang of it! Keep pushing the envelope until you can't afford to go outdoors anymore.;)

Unfortunately for rifles my needs stop at a good .375 and a .22, very nice to have includes something in the .257 Roberts range, fully supplied across the board includes a repeating bush carbine and a varmint specific rifle. I'm signicantly past that, like most of us, but only really hunt the .375. I've collected, and realized I can't take it with me, and my job has me away so much I don't do much with them, it's just hoarding for me. So I spend (most) of my shooting sports money on hunting, not rifles, but I had one indiscretion last year and placed an order for a pricey rifle. But, it's number two on my list above and for me, well justified.

"Need"? What the hey does "Need" have to do with it???;)
 
Well I've got a single shot 22, a 6mm rem, a 300 win mag and a 38-55. Although there are about 30 different "wants" the first 3 to fill are a 270 (would LOVE a 280 AI, but living in ontario makes the 270 a much more practical move), a 223 and a nice semi or bolt 22. Shotguns are a whole new story that I won't even start on.
 
what I would like / need

a 177 pellet 1200 f/s (once the &u$ken registy is DONE)
a 243 youth for my wife and daughter to shoot deer with
a blr 308 with staight stock bc the are cool
something I can put in the cabin closet to shoot stuff big and small if the need arised
a 4570 marlin (dam i wish there were grizzlies in my area so I could justify)
and another 2 sets of arms and two more eyes so I could prove the AH wrong that say I can only shoot one gun at a time!

a 45/70 SS guide gun seems like a usefull tool, but now thats not as easy as it once was.
Been thinking about a high end precision 6.5x55 but the choices of everything make that a longer term study..
A high quallity .22lr bolt gun might be nice too...
And a production rig would round out the IPSC divisions...
I have a hunch the next visit to a gunstore is going to be entertaining,lol.
 
I have a Savage .17HMR, 22WMR, .223, .270, Mossberg 195KA, 500, Remington 597, SKS and a Ruger SR-22 coming soon..... So I guess, if it's not on this list I need it. And once I get my RPAL this year, that will open up a whole new market....
 
Have:
Ruger M77/17 Mach 2
Ruger M77 Tang safety 257 Roberts
Ruger M77 Tang safety 280 Remington

Soon to have:
Buying back my Ruger M77 Tang safety 338-06

Soon to buy:
Ruger African 375 Ruger

Then I will be fully covered for all my hunting needs and more.

Now the just because list:
This list will start with a 22-250, then jump up to .257 cal and stop at the .375 cal.
 
I want a good bolt .22, semi .22, a 17 centerfire, a .22 Hornet. a .223 bolt, a black NR .223, a .243, a 6.5x47L (another one:D), a light .260AI, a NULA .284, a pre' 64 Model 70 FW in .270, a classic 30-06 (Kimber 84L Select looks right), a short fat mag feed precision .308, a NULA .338 Federal, a precision 7mm Rem Mag, a Classic 300 Win Mag (probably a Kimber Select), a Rifles Inc Model 70 in .338 Win Mag, a 375 H&H likely in a Winchester Model 70 Express, a 404 Jeffrey built on a Model 70 SS action with an Echols McMillan and 22" Barrel, Talley QR with peep and ivory post front sight and barrel band.
And that doesn't even count for tomorrow or scatter guns, revolvers or pistols.
 
I don't have a double rifle. I don't particularily need one, and logic tells me that my large animal hunting is better handled with scoped magazine rifles. Still, I don't have one, and they do have an undeniable cool factor. Logic is going to lose.

I was thinking about this off and on lately and I think I only have one rifle left to buy and then I have all my bases covered. I have a PAL rated PCP air rifle, a decent .22cal rifle, a 17 Rem FB, a .223 bolt and a semi auto, a .257 Roberts AI, a 30-06 and the one left to buy is a 338LM and then I think I'm done. Any others would be just because.
