You can pick two.

I will probably never own either but these are what I want.

1st is a:


COLT S.A. .45 CAL. 4 3/4 " FIRST GENERATION.


http://www.americanhandgunner.com/exclusive-web-extra-the-first-generation-colt-single-action-army/

Second is

A 1911 Springfield "FBI" gun. Not the Professional model which runs close to 3,500 and a two year wait......

But this:

http://www.gunsamerica.com/967036845/Gun...UREAU_MODEL.htm

I will probably never own a "Professional" either,..Im still happy with my TRP.

What say you?

I will never own one but a high quality double rifle in a dangerous game caliber would be the ultimate rifle for me.

It was a toss up for me between two guns. Because my dad carried a M14 in the Marines I'd like to have a Springfield M1A. My second Holy Grail gun would be an M24 in .308 or 300 Win Mag.

If win the lotto it will gain a couple stable mates though.

My Holy Grail?

AR chambered in 30-06 capable of handling 65k psi rounds. Ordered it in October. ETA March 2013 smile
http://www.onlylongrange.com/bn36.asp

Of course then I'm going to get a custom upper for it chambered in 375 Whelen Improved for bigger game. And then add a nice 25-06 upper for varmint hunting. Final tricking out will be putting a FosTech DefendAR to basically recreate a Browning Automatic Rifle for the 21st century.

If I cant do it in 20 rounds of 375 Whelen or 30-06 hot loaded AP, I'm not too sure I want to have to hunt it or fight it.

And oddly enough 30-06 ammo right now is slightly cheaper than 223/5.56 which is just bizarre.

I'll be different:

British Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1 (T) Sniper in .303 British


The only standard issued sniper rifles of WW2 that were accurized. All others were simply more accurate rifles taken of the assembly line with a scope added.

I want a gun to be able to reach 1000 yards; while the bullet is traveling about 2000 fps with retained energy of about 6500 foot pounds.

Somehow track down my grandfather's carbine he used in the south pacific, though it's probably destroyed.

My uncle has my grandfather's 410 pistol he used to clear out caves while island hopping.

I think Patton only carried one Colt.45, the other was a S&W .357 Registered Magnum. I want to own Bell's 7x57 Mauser, or Capstick's .375 H&H Musgrave. Maybe one of Sam Colt's or JM Browning's prototypes of any design.

Any old gun I find with my metal detector!

Otherwise I have most of what I want. Maybe one more 'bubba custom' Remington would be nice.

But seriously, I really want to find an old gun with my metal detector..

First it was a Nighthawk Custom 1911. Got my GRP II Bobtail in a few weeks ago. Then the target moved to Guncrafter, Ed Brown, and Wilson. Should have the Guncrafter in next week, the Ed Brown in November, and the Wilson in February 2014.

National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. John Wayne's daughter/grand daughter donated it to the museum.


They also have Tom Selleck's rig from Quigley, minus the Sharps.
I was disappointed about not seeing the rifle, but I love this saddle.

I own that very gun, except in .375 H&H. The barreled action was, of course, from Yugoslavia (now Serbia), but the Turkish walnut stock was crafted by Whitworth.

I'm rather surprised over the popularity of handguns on this thread. I would have guessed that fine rifles and shotguns with old world craftmanship would have run neck-and-neck for top spot, with handguns trailing far, far behind. Not so, apparently....

The Holland & Holland Rifle, known as KARA MOJO, Wm. D. Bells' 257 rigby / 7x57 mauser......that short action 7mm killed more than 1000 bull elephants and as many Rhinos.

The Walther PP that Hitler used to shoot himself in his bunker.

Carlos Hathcocks Winchester 70 he had on his 2nd tour.

That damned mannlicher that we all watched Saddam Hussien shooting off when he heard we were coming to wipe his butt off the planet.

The LONE RANGERS silver revolver.

The rifle that REALLY shot JFK.

Not realistic, but a Minigun for all out firepower, but in a semi-realistic world, probably a Holland and Holland, or a double-rifle

Fuchs built bolt action double rifle.

My family heirloom. It's a colt 1911 made in 1917. All original. Served in 2 wars and a sheriffs side arm for many years. Sometimes round count doesn't matter.

My dream gun is a Browning Hi-Power, shoulder stocked with the crest of the Sultan of Muscat and Oman stamped in it...gorgeous, and only a few hundred made I have a Chinese Contract "Lend-Lease" Hi-Power, made by the J.I. Inglis company out of Toronto Canada. According to its numbers, it was in the first shipment DENIED to Chiang Kai Shek as he was selling the pistols, not using them in warfare. and in case anyone is wondering about its SBR status...its been grandfathered...

Rumor has it that JFK was actually shot with a Remington XP100 in .221 fireball

If we're going down this path, then one of Jim Corbett's rifles. Either the .275 Rigby or the .450/.400. Jim Corbett is probably the hunter I most admire.

I second this. R8 Luxus would be my preference though and the MKV in Euromark.

Guns are tool to me, some are prettier than others but that is
not in the top 3 reasons I choose one. Rarity is not on my list at all.

For my choice I have to go with a Cheytec Intervention System.
