    Don't know why but i find the Ruger 77/357 kinda pointless, yet i really want one.

    Don't know why i need a 357 bolt action, box mag rifle other than i already have the ammo around.

    That would be pointless IMHO, call it cheap centerfire in a lever but a bolt would give it zero additional advantage. It ain't gonna travel that far anyway to worry about downrange accuracy............

    Its funny I started this thread drooling over that Savage Brush gun and a few other things. Though to be honest I have been really trying to discipline myself to stay within what I like, shoot often etc plus the requisite field guns. Which really comes down to a couple bolt guns ranging from varmint to .300WBY etc, Webleys, leverguns, M1 carbines, Mausers, lugers, CZ75's , AK's, the requisite ARs etc. I am really planning to thin the herd to double down on some of my preferred platforms (stuff soon to be in classifieds, nothing earthshattering).

    If I was to guess what I am likely to buy in the next couple years it will be a couple rarer preban AKs, lugers, and another Webley or two. Maybe another CZ75 to keep me shooting for a while.

    I would love to have a Sharps Quigley Rifle in .45-70, and another one in .45-110.

    I would love a Sharps. :thumbsup:

    I already have one of these Henry .44, but I want it in a metal frame Henry .45 long colt like the one below it.

    Not really pointless or for a strange reason, i can think of many reasons for this.
    Such as a replacement for a chainsaw for one..

    Not a rifle, but I always wanted an MP-40.

    Finally got to shoot one at the pumpkin shoot.

    LOVE shooting the MP-40! Just rocks back and forth gently w. little to no recoil. Super easy to keep on target. Of all the 03 stuff I've shot (M16, M60, STEN, MP-40) it's my favorite.

    How in the hell is an MP40 pointless? It's a classic and I'd rather have one of them than some plastic shitass P90.

    GSG Stg-44 in .22lr. Can't justify having one for anything other than the neat factor. One expensive plinker!
