Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Guns no longer made that you wish were?

My list:

HK 300 Semi-auto .22 WMR, typical German engineering and craftsmanship, polygonal rifling, very accurate.

HK 630 Semi-auto delayed roller-locked action, fluted chamber, polygonal rifling, accurate as hell.

Mauser 201 .22 WMR (front locking lug rimfire with stellite receiver insert for lug capture).

Kimber of Oregon
Models 82 and 84 Nuff said!


BRNO ZKK 601 (short action especially) Steel and walnut... old-world craftsmanship

BRNO ZKW-465 Made in the 40s and 50s...Cutest little mini-Mauser action ever made...better quality than the CZ 527 except possibly in the later production years of the CZs (quality improved).

BRNO ZKM-611 Very high quality and accurate semi-auto take-down .22 WMR.


HVA small-ring commercial Mauser Made of Swedish steel that was like none other for toughness...


Sako L46 Riihimaki in .22 Hornet. Had one once and foolishly sold it.


Cooper Model 38 Shame they stopped making them. Having one chambered in 5.7 x 28mm would be cool as heck.

Never made, but I pray for: Ruger No. 1 in a 22LR

Sako Finnwolf

Lee Speed

Savage 99

Original Ruger .44 carbine

Both the above made with the benefit of modern technology (but still walnut and blue)

Sako Finnwolf definitely!

Would also like to see Ithaca Model 37’s made (especially in 16 gauge) with properly proportioned receivers for 2 3/4” only.

RUGER Red Label All Weather, stainless and black

Ruger #3's

....& in more calibers.

BRNO 21 and 22.

The old Remington M700 RS and KS. T/C Cherokee and Seneca muzzleloaders.

I could agree w/the HK300 as long as mine didn't have those ridiculous magna porting.

I too had a ZKM-611 and would probably buy another were they available and as good as the originals.

Boat-paddle/SS Syn rimfire Ruger 77's.

Barrett Fieldcraft, especially the prototype 223-based cartridges

Kimber Montana in .17, .204, .223, might as well make the mag-box 2.5" and twist them 1:7.

While we're wishing, a Kimber Montana magnum rimfire tube fed from the rear or fed w/Ruger rotary mags.

700 SS Mountain Guide and LVSF in Mt Rifle pattern stock 1:7 twist in everything from 2.5" boxed 223 and 3" boxed creed and 308 family cases.

NULA Rimfire fed by Ruger rotary magazines LR, mag, and WSM

Sako 78 in .218 Bee

Cz 527 in Grendel in a chassis stock that had an adjustable butt. I think it would make a good training firearm for new hunters.

I like what's been said here; HK rimfire autos were slick, and as an Anglophile I think Lee Speed's are cool.

For me:
Sako L61
Winchester Model 63
Colt Woodsman

Browning Challenger and Colt Woodsman, especially the latter. Blue and walnut, please, NOT all tacticalled out like a Ruger 22/45 Lite.

Winchester 9422. I wouldn't be unhappy if they removed the tipoff grooves and drilled and tapped it.

S&W Model 63, the original with 4" barrel. And while they're at it, make one just like that in .38 Special, and/or bring back the one in .32 H&R.

Savage 99

Rem. XP-100

This is a great list. I would add the Remington Model Seven XCR

Thompson/Center Hawken, Renegade (original with two triggers), White Mountain Carbine, all in 54 cal.

Aww heck, bring 'em all back except for the in lines.


Also:
Ruger M77MKII All Weather.
Ruger Security/Speed Six.
Original size Vaquero.
Ruger Red Label.
Browning BSS Sporter.
Sako Finnbear.
Remington 870 Special Field.

Marlin 336ER in .356win
