What�s your �One Gun� that you covet more than any other? Maybe its one you have, or the one that you have always dreamed of owning.

For me I dream of one day owning a 20 bore Paradox gun; preferably a Westley Richards droplock Faunetta. I�d trade every gun I own for that one gun in a New York minute.

Any one of the three Winchester One of One Thousand 1873s my grandfather owned at one time. Would love to have the trio, but would be damned happy with just one.

One of the deer rifles I saw my Grandpa carry when I was little. He passed when I was 13 and his house mysteriously burned down shortly thereafter.

Fortunately the "step-grandma" was able to escape the burning inferno with the proper insurance paperwork....

Hmmm...I don't really dream of owning "that one special gun." I like the rifles I have and have dreams about cool hunting trips way more than a cool gun.

I guess for me it is between 3. My M1A, Colt Andaconda, or my Savage 99 250-3000.

Original (non reproduction) Colt Walker. One day I will own one. I have been to two auctions with one so far and walked away empty handed.

I like to spoil myself, since no one else seems to be willing.


I have them both, a tuned up Kimber and a NULA in 7mm-08

always coveted a NULA never thought I'd own one, but thanks to the generosity of one of our members I got one, still grateful rockchucker, thank you. And thank you Melvin Forbes, I dote on that rifle

it's like my boat, the only thing wrong with having it, is I should have had it decades earlier.

My well-used but still tight and sound Sauer cape gun set in 12/12 and 12/8X57JR with a 1-4 Loopy in claw mounts. This and my dad's pre 64 Mdl 70 375 are the two I would never sell, so I can't say just one gun. I changed the scope since the photo.

None.

Call me weird but I don't find guns that "lust worthy"

They are tools to me, nothing to get too excited about. blush

I would like a few but there isn't one I want more than anything.

For me it would be a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle. This one would do: http://www.gunsinternational.com/Holland-Holland-Royal-465-express.cfm?gun_id=100244944

My "Holy Grail" gun would be a SS Remington Model 7 308 Winchester with a 4 power scope (Weaver K-4, Redfield 4X or Leupold 4X fixed power scope). Powerful enough for any emergency but readily available ammo!
