What rifle do you dream about shooting/owning
There are many fire arms out there that are simply out of reach for many of us, some as simple as an M1A others a bit more exotic.
So, if you had the chance to just shoot one of these rifles or better yet, found yourself with the disposable income to own one, what would your choices be? My list could simply go on forever, but as of late, I wouldn't mind any of the following. Simply having the opportunity to fire one of these would be a treat. Barrett 98B/MRAD Accuracy Internation AW series or AWM series rifles FN FNC |

I wish I could own a walnut stocked Remington 7600 in 25-06.

I'd say the three that come to mind, since I can't pick just one, would be:
Browning BLR Lightning in 270 wsm with the pistol grip, non-take down. Winchester 1892 in 357 or 44 mag Browning A-Bolt Slug gun |

A nice .223 bolt action that puts all the bullets into one hole at 100 yards.

Barrett 82A1 for starters but there are sooo many on my list. I just know the Barrett will probably not be a realistic purchase.

Probably a Holland and Holland in some "cool" calibre, but those are almost too nice to take out hunting
I am saving up for a affordable dream gun the Merkel Helix |

To many to mention but if only one gun than it wouldd have to be on the lines of a Holland and Holland .500 cased double rifle but I could settle for a .450.
Or a Wesley, or a Dickson or a Evans, or a Rigby or a.....I really want a double rifle. Don't ask me why, I just do.

Pretty much every rifle made,,,
I love belonging to a rifle & pistol club,,,
Especially one where the members are so friendly. I offer a cylinder or so of any handgun I own,,, If someone will allow me to shoot a rifle I've never fired before. I don't want to own many rifles,,, I just want to be able to say I've fired one. Especially exotics like double-rifles. Aarond .

KenL, try looking at some of the CZ 527 models in .223, they'll surprise you.
What one rifle I really want but can't get? Easy - KelTec RFB. Super expensive vaporware so far, but it's everything I want in a battle rifle. Maybe I'll get to handle one before I die. I can't dream of shooting it, much less owning it... |

Anything 50 cal, I've never even seen one in person just on TV. It would make my day just to see one being fired.
