    A Glock with a switch or an 18

    My Marlin lever action .44 that I foolishly sold years ago.

    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.

    Substitute a Marlin 336 for the 94, and I could have written this post myself. DO get yourself a .357 lever action. Part of why is exactly the reason you describe. You can shoot it all day.

    Another good call. I have a 357 wheel gun and a lever action would go well with it. Add that one to the list.

    My last rifle purchase. Henry steel in .357, and I can't leave it home on range day. Just a fun gun! Had no idea I'd like it as much as I do!

    A Henry lever action in any caliber - I just love the look of them.
    FN-Scar
    FAL - I am mad that I sold mine.

    I will make a deal with you all. If I win the powerball, I will buy everyone their list of wanted rifles and we will have the shoot to end all shoots.

    Fg42! 1st model (with the weird angled pistol grip)!
    Played briefly with one including a magazine full, fired on a range during a Firearms Amnesty back in the U.K many years ago during "ammuntion disposal" under military supervision & fell in love with the quirky beast.

    except for lack of bottom metal and $100 mags, they are a well kept secret and all a normal fella might ever need.
    Ssg69 is a nice rifle. Had one. Sold it to buy a sako. Sako shot better and can be rebarreled more readily. Now own custom actions and a worked over Krieger barreled tikka t3 (doc harrens work) that will absolutely destroy the trg. Sold the trg.

    A Henry Lever action .45-70

    I don't know why, I just have a unexplainable lusting for that rifle

    Same as a couple others noted wanted a nice .357 lever action (didn’t have a lever gun) and found a Uberti Texas Brush Popper in .357/.38 at the Howard Co gun show a year or so ago. Paid msrp (ouch) but its a beautiful gun and a lot of fun to shoot. On the wanted list now;

    Solid double rifle….I mean c’mon…


    I’d go for .375 H&H Mag or 45-70 as I already shoot both.

    Heck also something made for me in .275 Rigby…

    I want a pre-99 Winchester rifle Model 1894 in 30-30.
    Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in either 30-06 or 270.
    Another precision rifle build topped with a really high end piece of glass - Schmidt & Bender, Nightforce - something along those lines.

    It's kind of odd - I'm getting to the point with guns where most of the gaps have been filled - I still have a few things on the wish list, but not many.
