Gun or caliber you’ve never owned but always wanted?

.45-70
 
I've got a hankering for a couple Winchester 1895's, one in 30-40 Krag, the other in 405.

An old hammer double in 450-400. Still kicking myself for buying some cool Winchester M70's instead of the double at the same show... LOP was a bit short so I passed... And kicking myself for holding out on a 577 double a few months back that I should have bought just for fun;)

And too many others:)
 
At DSC a few years ago there was this H&H Royal. I was busy darkening out one of the zero's in the $200K price tag when security showed up. Mostly I remember being escorted away than the actual details of the rifle.
 
M70 in 250-3000...had 1 opportunity to pick one up that was unaltered or messed with. 2nd lap around it was gone. Was in great condition and great price.
 
One gun I used to drool over and would still like to own is a Belgian made Browning Superposed, Midas grade. Out of my pay grade still, there's one with two sets of barrels on gunbroker for 24,500.

That’s one for me also ....
Bought a 70th Anniversary Edition in 257 a few years back. A little to fancy to hunt with so it's basically a range queen but it's a great shooter
 
A Colt Python an original Mannlicher in 7x57 and a Browning Superpoesd in 20g
 
An English 20 gauge SxS, built on a small Webley Screw-grip action, with Southgate ejectoctors and in it’s oak and leather case. The weight should be a tad under 6 lbs
 
@Dewald what are "Southgate ejectoctors"?
 
totally boring, and completely within reach.. but I've wanted one for years. and never have managed to pick one up..

Shiloh Sharps 45-120 to my specs. Bought one for my father in law (ex) and it is ready to ship. Haven’t ordered one for myself (yet)!

The Quigley right?
 
Toss up between a Remington 760 in .35 Whelen or a Blaser R8 with barrels in 6.5 CM, .270, .30/06, 9.3x62, .300 Win mag, .338 Win mag, .257 Wby mag., .416 Rem mag and .375 H&H mag. (I’m avaricious).

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
