The Dream Rifle

vikingpreacher · 04-17-2008, 04:26 PM

All of us seem to have a rifle that we stare at and really want to get. Often our wallets and spouses don't look at it the same way. For you, what is the 1 you're staring at? For me it is a Ruger No. 1 in 405 Winchester, it is a beautiful rifle in a classic, highly versatile caliber that appears to be picking up some steam on it's 2nd time around.

When I bought the Ruger Hawkeye that full field my dream rifle wishes......Then.

But now my dream rifle wish is a Browning BLR Leveraction in 358 caliber.

Have to say a Ruger no. 1 in H an H mag

turner · 04-17-2008, 06:10 PM

A Sako model 85 in .338 Fed. And if I was to find a Ruger #1 in 45/70 I might have to have it come live at my house as well. I do like the idea of the standard low powered rounds for deer and the hotter ones avaiable now from 4 or 5 companies for elk and moose. I'd mount either with a 1-6x24 Swarovski Z6 with German #4 reticle.

okami515 · 04-17-2008, 06:58 PM

a model73 winchester with 30" barrel and in 44-40. But I am probably going to have to settle for a repo, maybe in a cimmaron.

I've had squirrels charge, it takes a 416 minimum to stop them, a 22 LR has the kind of knockdown power you really need for these though.

sbowers5 · 04-17-2008, 08:21 PM

A beautiful german drilling 12 side by side and a 9.3x74 under.

tippmann7 · 04-17-2008, 08:51 PM

since i live in ohio there isnt much use in a large rifle so id go with the remington 700 in .223

sell33 · 04-17-2008, 08:54 PM

very true^^^ dam ohio laws

Parrothead · 04-17-2008, 11:30 PM

Anzio Iron Works 20mm semi-auto with suppressor

Barrett 50BMG semi-auto with suppressor

M-60 belt fed machinegun - shoot it just like the SEALs do - like a rifle

!

Don't know if these count, but I'd also like a GAU-8 Avenger with the A-10 wrapped around it and an M-61 Vulcan cannon with the Tomcat wrapped around it, too

It's just too bad the Feds won't let me have these even if I could afford them.

Hotled · 04-18-2008, 12:13 AM

Barrett .416 for M107 Of course with Bender glass

Nathan123 · 04-18-2008, 04:44 AM

I have always wanted a Holland & Holland double. But i wont afford one in this life time. A more realistic dream rifle is a Kimber Caprivi in .458 Lott

cnitsch · 04-18-2008, 01:00 PM

It changes regularly for me. Right now its the Sig 556.
