    I really have all the rifles that I need right now. Here are the ones I don't need but want! In order of realistic priority.

    1. A 7mm Rem Mag bolt actions rifle; either a Bergara B14 or a Christensen Arms Mesa, topped with a Burris Signature HD 3-15X44 scope. What am I going to hunt with it? Have not thought that far ahead.
    2. I have three AR PCC's, but I would like to add an AR 9 from Palmetto State Armory (AR-V) that accepts CZ Scorpion mags, 10.5" barrel pistol that would be made into a registered SBR (may need a VLTOR stock for OAL requirements). Topped off with an EO Tech.
    3. A Bergara bolt action 308 Win with an 18" barrel; topped off with a 2.5-10X scope, Vortex or Burris. A cool light and and handy 308.
    4. A Henry lever action Hunter with Skinner peep sights and a large loop in 22 Magnum.
    5. And maybe a Ruger American Ranch in 300 Black with a Timney trigger and a 2-7X scope. Mind you I already have the same configuration in 7.62x39!
    6. And while we are at it, how about yet another CMP Garand, but the Expert grade with a "new commercial" barrel.
    7. SCAR 17 (added)
    8. Fulton Armory M1 Carbine (added)
    9. Henry 357 all-weather side gate lever action. (added)

    I'll Play. Aside from the lever gun, these overlap to a good degree with items already in the safe in terms of purpose, but they always seem to be on the list:,

    1. Marlin 1895 SBL - because, why not
    2. Ruger Hawkeye Guide Gun in .338 Win Mag
    3. Springfield M1A Scout (couldn't even if I wanted to, as it's on Maryland's naughty list)

    Completely understand that lust.

    This is what happens when you bid on one and then find another you like better so you bid on it as well counting on getting outbid on the fist one. :/

    M2, original BAR, and GE Minigun. I have a rifle for just about every purpose I need one for, those listed are just because I will never be able to afford any of them.

    I'd like a really nice .357 magnum lever action. I missed out a few years back when Walmart had a Henry one in Frederick.

    I don't have time to go shooting right now. So I'm in no hurry to get one.

    I like my Winchester 30-30 Model 94s, but I'd really like them better with less recoil. I'm not in my 30's anymore.
