Christensen arms with carbon barrel. Chambered in 6.5x284. Been wanting a carbon barrel rifle since they came out. Finally got the thumbs up from the minister of war and finances to buy it. Should be here by May.

I'd like a one of those fancy new Browning sweet 16's that would finish off my Browning collection
and a sako 75 hunter chambered in 300 Rum with a 26 inch fluted barrel
my version of guns in my cabinet has changed a lot
I used to love to have a full over flowing gun cabinet
but anymore if I only have good quality useable firearms
if they sit in the cabinet and never get used
they are listed or traded for something I know I will use
the only ones I haven't sold or traded are the ones I promised my grand children

I'd like a bright stainless Colt Python in 4" barrel, unfired with box and papers....of course, I don't have the 12-6 so can't own any prohibs, God rot Allan Rock's soul. Oops, did I say that out loud?

Of guns that I could own, I'd like a NULA rifle in 7mm08 topped off with a top end Swaro or Leica scope probably, sitting in some one piece Talley rings. My preferred do it all cartridge for what I hunt.

Or an M134 minigun mounted on my Porsche. Just too many wants to really nail it down. And an AA-12. Got to have an AA-12.....

I'd really like a blaser R8 with beautiful wood and a few different barrels. Given the price, probably just a dream unless I hit the lottery, but definitely want to have a look at one sometime.

Seems like I could have that - or everything else in my gun collection!

That's a good plan - that's what I'm working on too. I mean, our third child is still on the way, but I'm hoping for grandkids someday

I always thought I would love the fancy grade Browning BAR"S but after having a few rifles with nice wood and scratching and nicking them I lost interest in anything fancy and now find myself seeking accuracy and long range capability,not looks.
I think I see a custom built Remington 700 or Sako in 300 RUM in the future for some long range hunting.

A hyem??? Aim big this is a dream gun! I'd take one of Butches doubles because I think these will be very collectible in the future. I like your choice of caliber though.

A fully functional early '40s Bren MkII.

I passed on a beautiful DEWAT at the Stony gun show and really regret it.

Sako Bavarian Carbine in 6.5x55....most likely when the time comes I'll buy myself a Finnlight. But that carbine sure is appealing.....

To be honest I'm torn between the Lakefield Mk 3 and the Cooey 600. Naaaw one more to add the Remington Nylon, but only if I got it unassembled.

I already have my dream gun - anything else in a hunting rifle is just a nice rifle

I'd love an old h&h 4 bore double or even the dreaded 2 bore. Just imagine what that would to to a 2 litre!
