Pointless Rifles You Want for a Strange Reason?

[shortnfluffy(gummy'swife)]

I've wanted a Henry "Mare's Leg" for a while now in .44 mag. I can't think of a reason.........just because it's cool maybe?

Gummy and I were just discussing this the other day.

That and Air America ... yeah, sure, nobody knew why all those military guys were getting flight discounts ... and I guess mail did have to be delivered to every hillside and mountain top in Laos

I have researched this rifle extensively and everything I learn always goes further down the worm hole.

For some reason the Tavor speaks to me.

Also the XM-8 in all it's variants just screams at me for some reason.

For pure AT&T value (reach out and touch someone), the Barrett 98 Bravo.

Ruger No. 1 in 375 H&H

+1 but not the International,IMHO one of the ugliest things I've evr seen.

I really want a FAL/ L1A1. I can't afford to feed it and don't have a range worth shooting it at, but I want one.

Savage Alaskan Brush Hunter, probably take your shoulder off in .375 Ruger with an 20" barrel but what a boomstick

Great......had to go and show me this. I'm a fan of both Savage and short powerful rifles/carbines. Now I need this.....even though I have no real use for it other than fun.....and this would be one of probably the only non-milsurp bolt rifles that would remain without a scope. Maybe add a rear peep sight and a sling and call it done. I would probably go with the .338, cause I looked around and it can be found for about $38 a box vs. $50-60 a box for the .375 Ruger.....ouch.

My cousin had a #1 Tropical in .458 Lott and even though it was heavy for a single shot, it was insane. After 2-3 shots, even though I don't mind recoil, it was just unfun to shoot. Worst part was the cost of ammo.
.....booooom......5 bucks.....booooom........5 bucks.......booooom.......5 bucks ($100 a box of ammo!!!!)

CheyTec Intervention. Pointless in my hands but would be so bad ass to have.

I can't say I "need" any rifle so my latest want is a .308 R700 AAC with a MK 4 3-9 illum TMR and a can TBD.

Ruger No. 1 in 375 H&H

A friend of mine put an octagonal barrel on his Ruger #1, in .375 H&H.

I fired it three times from the bench.

Knocked me on my 'donkey'. No thanks. You can have it!

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

Sir,that is not a pointless rifle.That is the epitome of what a rifle should be.And after the next "Red Dawn" and we are forced to use horses as our main mode of transportation,you will see the importance of such a fine piece of engineering.

Maybe, but I can use the flash hider on my AR as a spur

I am with you on that one.

 

[Kilroy]

I would really like a Barret .50 cal, the bullpup one. I have nowhere to shoot it and no place to store it, but I still want one.

Along the same lines, I want a 6.8 Creedmore AR-10. Once again, nowhere to shoot it and I don't reload, but it'd make me happy.

I will own an AK-74 soon. Just so I can say I have one.

Really though, after the second or third rifle/pistol/shotgun, aren't they all pointless? You only really NEED a pistol and a rifle. (Self-defense and hunting)

 

[kalister1]

Using that logic you really only need two pairs of pants.
