I've been saving up since my last purchase and think I'll have enough for my next soon. The problem is I have a long list of "Iwantits".

Here are the ones I am currently considering (along with background info)..
Rifles (I'm hoping I can find my .243 Savage 110C and .308 Ruger American from the bottom of the lake):
Savage Precision Carbine in .308 (about $750 at LGS)
Savage Hog Hunter in .308 (about $450 @ Dicks) but then I'd need to watch
for a stock with a removable magazine.
Marlin 1894 in .357
Marlin 1894 in .44Mag.
Pistols (I have a ccw permit, but @ 145 lbs, my H&K USP Compact and Colt Double Eagle print):
Sig P938 with night sights. About $675 @ LGS
Kahr CM9. About $425 @ LGS
Ruger Vaquero .357 about $550 @ LGS
Springfield XPs about $550 @LGS
Ruger SP101 (I did not like the trigger on the Blackhawk I handled).

Is there something else I should really consider? With the rifles, I would love to have one capable of adding a suppressor eventually or having a lever chambered for a good pistol cartridge. With the pistols I am torn between a CCW and a good revolver

I know it is a REALLY diverse list, but am curious what people think. I've handled all these and each is within my comfort range for fit and handling.
