-That will cost quite a bit of money, I guess I will not own them all until I retire! That is all the guns I wish to own in my lifetime, a large assortment of calibers and gauges to perfectly match any game and lots of different actions for different game and environments/terrain, as you can see I am a big fan of repeaters and SxS, will probably own some of those calibers in a Thompson/Center Encore as well as I like the look of that rifle...... And yes, this list is realistic, I can already scratch a few off of the list, but lots will be aquired in the future............

Browning make a bolt action shotgun??:confused:
You don't perhaps mean a Browning A5 do you?:redface:
And tell me, why a .224 Wby Mag when a .220 Swift will match it and a hot-loaded 22-250 is close on it's heels?
Plus brass and ammo for the .224 is VERY expensive and pretty rare.

Hi, yup, Browning made an A-Bolt, fully rifled barrel 12 gauge slug gun. It's very nice from pics I've seen, suppose to be a shooter.

Weatherby .224 ??? There is only one placing after first ... and that's last.

Expense ???? How can you actually put a price on something that you love doing. Glad I had the same view when I tricked my women into marrying me. I don't think after 10 years that the romantic notion of marrying a farmer/ cattleman still has it's same alure :D :D :D

Here's a chance to list your preferred inventory of firearms.
I only have one request.....let's keep it realistic.
If you don't have a restricted handgun licence and no intention to get one then don't list handguns.
If a specific arm is prohibited like semi-autos are here in Oz or like FN-FALs and other military rifles are for you guys then don't put them down.
And if there is no chance that you could ever conceivably afford it(H&H doubles in 600 NE or the like) then be sensible and don't list it either.
This is a sort of practical list that you can accumulate over the years and actually use, not a scene from "The Matrix" where you say "I need guns; lots of guns......preferably the expensive and prohibited type!":rolleyes:
Now, what would you like, folks?

..... Remington (heavy barrel) 700 in .223, Ruger International or S/S with full length stock, in 7x57, Lever Action Rifle in .357 Magnum. (more money for reloading supplies and a decent spotting scope !!!! ) ..... David K.
 
It's been really nice to see this list develop.
People by and large have been very sensible and it just shows what is desirable for many people.
Also shows that I'm weird! :p
 
locker

I have a decent list with one i would like to add.

.22 cal. bolt
.25-06 Ruger SS
.270WSM M70 featherweight
7MM Rem Mag M70 custom built by Bill Leeper (Smith barrel, D'arcy Echols 4 cartridge mag. mcmillan stock), got it from Chuck Nelson.
.338 WM M700 douglas barreled
M12 Win. 12ga.
M37 Ithica 12ga.

would like to get a lever in .450 Marlin.
 
I would like to get a 11-87 with a fully rifled 20" bbl,sharpes 45-70,some sort of 50 cal bolt action,any quality OU 12 guage and a M1 garand. With what I allready own and that list, I would die happy.
 
What I got:
SMLE
Enfield No.5
Maverick 88
Mosin Nagant
SKS-D
CZ 858
10/22
Hiawatha .22
Savage 110 in .270
Beretta 92FS

I figure if I lose the SKS-d and the Mosin and replace them with an AR 180b as well as get my hands on a GP100, I'd have just about everything covered for the shooting I do.

However, I'll have to be pretty freaking broke/desperate to sell any of my goodies
