The Browning 1885 low wall from the late 90’s.
I’d take one in 22 K Hornet and one in something like a 6.5 Swede or even 280 Rem. My #1 pick as well. I have one currently that will be rebirthed to 308 Winchester.

Another vote for the Marlin MR-7. IIRC, this rifle was only produced from 96-99 and has the best features of all the big name favorite rifle makers plus it's super accurate to boot! If they were making a new run, I'd like to see one in stainless steel with a detachable AI-style magazine!

Bbear: I wish that Remington would resume making the wonderful XR-100 Rifles again! 2% chance of that happening. And of course I wish Winchester would resume making the pre-64 style Model 70's from the mid 1940's to mid 50's era. But alas that will never happen - 0% chance there. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy Agree on XR100s. Great rifles and great platform for wildcats. Got a couple.

Any decent walnut/blued bolt gun chambered in .250 Savage or .257 Roberts.

I will second that late 80s early 90s Remington 700 comment in this thread. I had a 700 BDL in 308 that was the best shooting gun I ever owned. I wish I could get a 700 308 that would shoot with the quality those had back then. I can get a 700 in 308 I just don’t want the junk Remington is making now

I can get a 700 in 308 I just don’t want the junk Remington is making now I always find these posts comical I have several new (as in 2009 and newer) Remington 700s from ADls up to a New AWR. All, and I mean ALL of them shoot sub MOA with factory ammo. In fact one 223 Heavy bbl shoots 10 shot groups sub inch. And a 700 BDL shoots Federal's Accubon load into sub half inch groups Me thinks you should spend more time actually out shooting and less time reading internet forums

I've never seen it, Sabatti tried I think but had issues (in that they weren't really embraced by everyone due to how they were regulated) - but I would really like to see an American Double Gun in North American calibers that a blue collar worker can afford and anyone could be proud to own: 45/70, 30-06, 270, 30-30, 338-06, 22 LR and then some magnum offerings like 300 weatherby or winchester, 338 magnum, 458 winchester.
Like priced and workmanship how an over and under would be now. I mean even if they sold a barrel set that could go on existing over and unders, that would work for me.
I think it would be a fun rifle for hog hunting and other 'American Safaris' alligator, black bear...etc.
Just rambling outloud...

Love to have:
Marlin 336A .30-30 but with a 22" barrel instead of 24" and a slender forend. (Are you listening, Ruger?)
Savage 99A, the straight grip 20" barreled version.
Remington 121 with the original slender corn cob forend
Neat to have: Nylon 66 Winchester 63 >> ** Winchester 9422 >>** Winchester 69A and/or 75 Sporter. Left hand versions would be a wet dream but wth, as long as we're dreaming here...
Wow ! Not being a lever action fanatic.... I was not aware that Win had dropped production of the 9422. I will admit when I am wrong and/or don't know about certain things. NOT ashamed to admit it. I just now googlefooed it and found this from 2011. I have a Win 9422 M in the Win Cam stock and have proudly owned it since the late 80s. I use it occasionally here at my place for small varmints which we don't have too many. I have NOT thot about selling it and NOW I would not sell it at ALL. I'll EDIT this and add a Pic later today. Gotta go for now. Jerry

I had an errand to do and got back. Instead of editing the previous post I'm just adding another. I 'probably' could find out what year I bought this but I know it was before 1990. Maybe my ancestry is showing but I have always like the Laminated stocks, especially the Gray- gray and Win Cam models. I have a Ruger 10-22, Win 1300 XTR Turkey model 12 ga, & this Win Cam 9422 M. I liked the Rem 700 SS Laminate so much I tried to trade a 700 BDL for 1 UNTIL I picked it up. TOO HEAVY for me at the time-- and still is. But I love the looks. Jerry

I have a Remington 700 ADL that I bought at Wal-Mart in the mid-80’s. It shot like a dream with the 180 gr. Core-Lokt ammo I originally sighted it in with, and it shoots like a dream with the Barnes VOR-TEX 150 gr. TTSX that I currently shoot in it. It was the first center fire rifle I ever owned, and I am glad I still have it. I have other rifles I like just fine. In fact, I have become quite a fan of the 7mm-08. But I will never part with my original Remington 700.
