What would you add to your collection?

Forget the Mini-guns and crew served weaponry and let's discuss something you could fit in your gun safe and actually afford to feed and care for. From a real and practical standpoint what rifle would you add to your collection?

I'd lean towards a semi auto DMR type rifle for general fun and possibly SHTF such as M1A or Yugo M76.

I'd love a Dragunov but hear they tend to eject hot brass onto lefties such as myself. Another PSL wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit or one of the heavier AKs such as a Yugo RPK or the Romanian vresion.

What would you guys choose?

If I could afford it in the first place a 1921 or 1928 Thompson sub.

If I had the money, I would love to have a M-14 just like this one. I don't have any of the "Evil Black Rifles". I am more Old School. I like rifles with wood..

What I'd like to add to my collection.

A Ruger Hawkeye in .358 Win.

A Ruger Hawkeye in .35 Whelen.

The new Ruger AR-15...I don't remember what they named it.

A Marlin XLR Leveraction in 35 Remington.

A CZ 75 Compact in 9mm.

A Muzzeloaded in 50 caliber, undecided on which one.

A Wilson Combat 1911 not certain which model.

A Winchester SX3 semi-auto 12ga. shotgun with 26" barrel.

Another Home Defence 18" barrel shotgun which would give me two. One for the bedroom and one for the liveingroom. OH heck make it 3 more, one for each automobile to.

A Ruger LCP in 380.

The Hawkeye in .358 is a priority the others are not and the list is not in order has I would buy them...A.H

PSLMAN I had every intention to buy a .358 but at the last minute I ordred the 308 instead.
Because of Ammo availability. Though I lucked out that the 308 is as acurate as it can be, my mind is still set on haveing the .358 caliber Hawkeye. I wish to this day I had bought the 358...A.H

I'm currently adding a CETME to mine. I got 25 X 20 round magazines for $0.99 each, the rifle only cost me $625 after shipping to my FFL, and it shoots 7.62 NATO rounds. I've got everything covered except for a .22 pistol and an African Plains rifle.

I have a hankering for a .500 in my collection (NOT the .500 S&W or .50 BMG) probably have a CZ 550 converted to .500 A-Square.

I feel that I am pretty much set in all other areas.

An M14, and M1A another 1911 a good lefty bolt action in .270 or .300 Win. Mag and lots of ammunition for all.

I had to edit cuz I got to thinking as well as saw some others other members posted and had to add more.

So, I'd add a Thompson, a Colt Anaconda in .44mag., a M1 Carbine, aw hell, I'll just make it easy on myself. Any gun I can get my hands on I'd add.

I always wanted to get a large bore lever action rifle like a .375 or a 45 70.
