Just curious to see what everyone dream rig setup would be. Everytime I see the Sako85 in either wood or synthetic I wanna plop down the credit card, but then I come to my senses. I'd top it with a Swarovski Z6 and then go recover from the kidney I sold to buy it. One of these days though! What about you??

I will own this rifle someday, rifle itself is much cheaper.

But the whole kit, is something I lust over. Here is one for sale

weatherby mark V deluxe left handed in .257 wby mag

Mine would be a Barrett 82 in .416 Barrett.

A classic double rifle maybe a Rigby or H&H brand but something thats been around a while and shows character.

Very nice!! My SCAR H, is supposed to be in sometime in January. So when you see my Bushmaster 308 ORC hit the classified section. You know my SCAR is here. LOL

Cheytac .408

I've wanted a Springfield Socom with a good 1-4x scope ever since they came out. May not be the lightest or the most technologically advanced but they just do it for me...

Got a poor boy version of this in the works right now,


But this would be my dream rifle !

Move over, make room for me to dream and drool too.

A blind man could shoot and hit with it, ....well, almost...

Thats cool man. We just built something very similar. Its off at the engraver now.

I'm pretty fond of my HK91. 1978 model with integrated bi-pod, all factory original paperwork including factory target, five 30 round mags, original softside carry case and bunch of other carp.

Traded a 2 year old Honda XR100 dirt bike for it. Best deal I ever made.

Sako .338 Lapua

US Optics Scope

I don't brand names but top quality NV/IR setup

Cool thread!

Forget all this tacticool mumbo jumbo. Give me a nicely sporterized custom mauser action style bolt rifle. Preferably from the likes of Duane Wiebe, D' Arcy Echols, Jerry Fisher, etc...I also like single shot Hagn rifles.

Good old wood and metal.

a Lazz in 308WB

In my opinion the tactical is far more practical. I hog hunt weekly and semi auto and suppressors allow me multiple shots on a sounder, and the same goes for yotes. My fancy Weatherby Mark5 walnut laminate, maybe gets shot once a year. My tactical AR's get pounded weekly. Even deer hunt with my 308 AR.

I do like Mausers though, my 98k is still one of my favorites. And my pre 64 which is a mauser action as well.

I'll second that.

Have no desire to own tactical weapons. Just dont like anything about them. I wont go into detail.

Afterall, this is a thread based on your opinion of a dream rifle...You know mine. It really doesnt matter if I think tactical weapons are tasteless.

Everyone has their preferences. Personally I don't care what "format" the rifle is in, as long as it's accurate and is enough tool to get the job done. My preference is bolt actions, but if there's an autoloader, single shot, pump action, etc. out there that does a better job, I'll look at it.

nice choice.

BTW TDK, I agree with you 1000% on the Mauser actions. To me there's nothing more "classic" than a well built rifle based on a '96 or '98 action.

I already have my dream rifle, it is a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Classic control feed 270 from the Winchester Custom Shop. It has beautiful wood and shoots great! I have only actually hunted with it a few times as I don't want to get the wood dinged up, it is just too pretty.

My "go to" rifle is my Model 70 Featherweight All Terrain 270 stainless with composite stock. I have taken a lot of game with this rifle.

pics?

Yes Sir!!!

I'll get one at some point, but pleading my case to the wife will present a challenge though.

I've got mine, it's sitting next to me in the stand as I type! Benelli R1 30-06, Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56 amber dot. As accurate as any sporter bolt action rifle I've ever had, 400+ rounds fired w/o a single malfunction. The buttstock on this rifle is adjustable for that "perfect fit" and it makes a difference, I feel like I can almost shoot skeet with it. Significantly lighter than most AR-10 platforms (7.2 #'s w/o scope), it's easy to carry in the field. Just added an A-1 quick set adjustable sling from Murray leather and it compliments the rifle perfectly.





The rifle is easy to strip and clean and can be easily completely dissasembled unlike the Browning & Remington designs. Holds zero through stripping, cleaning and reassembly, last time I touched the knobs on the scope was summer 2009.

Absolutely not the most expensive gun i own but it is the one i would not want to be without
Howa Axiom 22-250 I have a Burris scope on it and getting ready to put the Burris Six X on it

I have other guns as in Rem 700's and Ruger #1 and Browning Abolt and Xbolt i have Leupold VXL scopes and Nightforce but this is my GOTO and go figure it is all less than 1500.00

Ever since I saw a Little Sharps rifle I wanted one, never thought I would own one unless I won the Lottery. One day at a Gunshow, there was a used one. It found a new home,



Upgraded Bastogen Walnut stock, pewter forarm tip, 26 inch barrel, 38-55 Winchester chamber. The pic does not do it Justice, the buttstock has as much or more figure as the forarm.

If money wasn't a option I'm not for sure what my number 1 choice would be but high on the list would a rifle built by Kirby Allen and topped with a Schmidt & Bender or something along those lines

Any lazzeroni is fine with me.

1.Surgeon Action, Shilen barreled, jewell trigger, Manners or McMillan stock, Ken Farrell rings, USO SN3-Tpal or S&B 5-25X56 PM II, chambered in .338 Edge.

2.LaRue OBR with Insight CNVD-T

3. McMillan TAC-50

Blaser in 7-08

With a S&B Precision hunter 3x12x42

Man, that's beautiful. Always wanted one of those in a .45-70 or .50-90..

Is that an original? I'd like to have one some day but all I find are reproductions.

I just wish I had a half a million to spend on one? I think there are two for sale in the US.

And then I would need a chopper to hang it out of!

Mount it in teh back of your truck. Much more convienient.

Not original, matter of fact until a couple guys in Montana cane up with and followed through with the idea it probally had necer been one built. The rifle is a 20% scaled reproduction if the 1874 sharps. The rifle is for sure more accurate than I am with the sights on it but I have fired 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards with it and my 47 year old eyes.

is this too much..

I dont think so

That pic is used as a punch line to describe the THF over on the TFF.

x2 on the cheytec for my bolt gun, M200 intervention


As for the autoloader I like the LAR-8s

i already have a couple of dream guns but im savin my pennys or a gap gladius in 260 rem

Here's my Sako 85 greywolf in .30-06, shot it once. When you eject the shells the empty casing hits under the scope and falls back down on the other shells. I was furious, how can that get missed from the factory. So, now it had to take a trip back to the factory to get fixed. For a high dollar rifle, that sucks big ones.

I would like to second the Blaser!

In a previous life of mine we had these. While they had a definite cool factor since they were the new toy on the block they certainly weren't $23,000 cool. We had issues with our 2 stage triggers as well. 2 out of 3 guns turned into single stage triggers after about 300 rounds.

you mean kinda like this one?

BORS

if you could find a way to mount a shovel on that thing you would be SET!!!!

WOW. I want!

nice, blazer, great caliber, nice and handy

I'm shooting my dreams......all 10 of 'em!!!!! Next month I'm gonna have another dream.

http://www.christensenarms.com/carbon-one-extreme something along these lines

sweet rig djones.

Mine is any ar-10 I can get! Saving up my pennies for one now.

Heck of a deal.
