I'd like to find a Remington 14 1/2 in 44 (at a 2015 price).

Do you have a wish list for the coming year? I’m selling down to 6 to 10 rifles, but I’d like to have a Kimber BGR in 30-06. I have a 270 and a 280, really like them, so I only have one on my list.
1. Kimber BGR. 30-06 Not really though I took my Kimber BGR 30-06 out last week for the first time. The prior owner had it bedded and it shot well. Hogs in March.

That said, if I land on something "neat" and fairly priced it will come home. A couple of Kimber's (308 Montana, 6.5 Creedmoor Mountain Ascent) a few weeks ago and a 270 Win 1st gen M700 Ti a couple of months prior. Then there's the Ruger #1's... 2023 was a bit spendy.

Having inherited both my Dad's and an Uncles collections, I need to sort and fine tune what is "must keeps" for their histories, what is "should keeps" for my two boys and what can down the road to finance optic upgrades in the heavily used ones that still have basic scopes on them.

My wish list is for more time and opportunities to hunt the ones I already have.

My wish is populated with Rifles I'll probably never get to own... they are all vintage stuff..
The list is short tho... 1. Rem Model 30S in 25 Rem, and/or 30 Rem and 35 Rem.
2. Model 54 Winchester in 30/30., 7 x 57. 250 Savage.
Each in cherry condition, not one beat to crap and back...
Meanwhile I have a bunch I should let go. Most stuff I pick up nowadays is ALL Synthetic stock, smaller calibers. I tend to rebarrel instead of buying new rifles....
I've got rifles I haven't fired very often and older ones I haven't shot in years...

My wishlist evolves since the decision to purchase a particular rifle / caliber will often remove another similar option from consideration. Fortunately over time I’ve cobbled together a small collection of rifles that is great for everything I currently hunt (and would work for some hunts I’ve only dreamed about) so there really isn’t anything else I “need”. But there are a few items on the “desire” list: As a left-handed shooter, SxS shotguns for upland hunting with cast on for LH shooters are difficult to locate. They’re never cheap either. It doesn’t stop me from looking at ones like the Fabarms Autumn 20. The ambidextrous straight-pull Beretta BRX1 intrigues. I wouldn’t mind taking that one hog hunting. But as long as I don’t shoot one & make the mistake of falling in love with it, I could probably talk myself out of it. I absolutely do not need a 9.3x62. But if Sako makes their 90 Bavarian in a LH model, I might crack. LH Mannlichers are pretty rare. But whenever one pops up, it always grabs my attention. Fortunately other lefties always want them more than me so I always get outbid. I still think about a Dakota 76 auction that I was winning for about a nanosecond once… This is the Hunting Rifles forum but I’ll add the blued Colt Python that was announced this week at ShotShow to the list of desires that I don’t actually need.

Thank you, just bought a Super America in 270. I want a 30-06 I think.

My wish list is for more time and opportunities to hunt the ones I already have. +1 However, should a Savage 1895 Carbine, a CZ 453 22LR in a Lux or Varmint configuration, or again a Savage Model 20 chambered in 300 Savage in the later 1926 variation appear I would be inclined to happily spend the money.

It's not exactly on a "wish list" but I'd like to have a .35 caliber lever action. But, mohawk said it best. I want more time to use the ones I have.

I'd like a really old levergun. Something pre WW1. Something like the Marlin 1894 38-40 that my Grandpa had. That gun inspired me so much. I never even got to shoot it though
