or guns that you are after? We haven't done this for awhilst. What do you want that might be in reach in the near future? Or maybe not in reach.
I would like to get a Sharps. Original would be great, but prolly will be a Shiloh or C. Sharps. Prolly in 45-70 for the convenience factor.
10mm of some sort. Probably a Smith. Maybe a new Delta. Maybe a Witness. Dunno.
Garand...been on the lookout for one for a couple of years now and found nothing suitable.
Deep concealment. Maybe need a Baretta or some such. Maybe a Kel Tec.
What about y'all?

Just ONE next gun?
I have a 77 Sharps with a new barrel that is almost ready to go, a pistol-gripped Hawken that is just beginning the long road to becoming a reality, an Alex Henry long range muzzleloader that is 90% done, and a low-wall action that is the subject of preliminary creative planning.

A Browning SA-22 is on the way now. Gray SS barrel, nickel finished receiver to match, laminated stock, and octagon barrel.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Well, as soon as we can get moved into the new house here on the place, the old house (after some needed renovation) will become my mancave/workshop! I just need to finish the projects I've got in the works.
Stocking a nice old FN Herstal 1893 Mauser (7 x 57) that's was bubba-tized by some cretin. Hopefully it will look like a 1920's guild rifle when I'm done. With express sights, the works.
And
Replicating a 1920's BSA Sporter (leaning heavily on the looks of a Lee-Speed Rifle) built on another Bubba-tized rifle; #1 Mk III Smelly. This one hasn't really had anything bad done to the metal, and has an excellent bore (rebarrelled in 1922). Same as above; express sights, barrel band front swivel, etc. May finally get to try a little checkering on the forearm.

Just bought a ruger 77 MKII 30-06 SS with a laminated stock and Open sights.
Got three actions at Hart, 2 in 30 cal and one in 7mm.
I need another M66 smith too.

My last deer rifle. 'Hate to hang up the old 99, but she's getting heavier, and for some reason the hills seem to be gettng steeper lately too. Thinking it will be a Remington Model 7 in either .308 or 7mm-08, or possibly the same chambering in a Model 700 Mountain Rifle. 'Wouldn't pass up a Model 70 Featherweight or a T3 Lite if the price was right either though.

I am done with rifle buying for a while. I have been re-aquiring shotguns for clay shooting and on the hunt for a Winchester 101.

Realistically, either a Vaquero or a Uberti 1873 in 45 Colt. Lots I would like to have, though.

After seeing Ingwe's faux TI I've had a hankerin' for the same build but chambered in .260 Rem. It all started years ago when dreaming about THE perfect sheep rifle. Sadly, I've now missed my chance for ever being able to do another sheep hunt  - that and actually having a chance at a legal one. Having a lightwieght all weather mulie/lope rig is still a good excuse for putting one togther though.

Custom Model 70 7x57.
A custom 7x57 reamer is on order from Pacific Tool and Gauge. Going to put a Brux #2 Standard Sporter 22" barrel on it. Have not made up my mind on the stock, but it will be synthetic.

A Ruger MKIII Talo Distributor special .22 pistol. Maybe a 7mm-08 if I can sell a couple of safe queens.
Speak softly and use a big bore...

Found my next gun last week and am waiting to pick it up end of this week. Found a pre 64 model 70 in 243 featherweight. Except for someone adding a pad it looks almost new.

Ordered it last month: Six to eight months for delivery and measured to fit me. Verney-Carron in 450NE 3 1/4" Color Case Hardened receiver, traditional English scroll engraving, ejectors, flip up night and folding leaf express sights, sling swivel studs, 25" barrels, fitted leather case and regulated with Hornady DG ammo. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCdouble.jpg)

1911. probably a S&W with the alloy frame.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
