"Different" calibers
« on: October 14, 2010, 12:00:51 PM »
Highcountry's .375 H&H thread got me to thinking about guns we don't absolutely HAVE to HAVE, but really want for some reason or another.  Most are either trick guns in common calibers, or vice versa - this thread is about the "different calibers" people want. 

I'll start -

Ruger 1-S in 9.3 x 74R with open sights.

So, what do you want, but don't need?

x2 on the sharps 45-120 i have always liked them and don't need one but i think it would be really cool to own one. the other is a new shot gun i LOVE my bps pump best shotgun i have ever shot or owned. I am Really lookin at a sx3 i think they are pretty slick. i have never hunted waterfowl with a semi. i have a antique browning i use for upland from time to time. I am more then quick enough with a pump :chuckle: but have been thinking about that gun for awhile. :chuckle:

Oh, I NEED the guns.  Nobody said "don't need".  But do I REALLY NEED that 9.3?  Nah...
So, if you don't already have all of the guns ever made, which oddball caliber do you want next?

I really dig the big-bore lever guns, too... that 45-70 marlin is nice.   :drool:  dam tough call.

I would really like to have a walking varminter, like a .222 or a .220 swift. My bull barreled 22-250 isn't fun to pack. I really want a Browning BLR in .308, don't need it, but I want one.

I want/need a SS Marlin 444.

I need a Roddy Toyota built Caspian 1911 or an Ed Masaki built Colt series 70, 1911 in 45acp capable of 1" groups (5 inch barrel) at 50yds. (No, it's not an unpopular caliber, but an extremely accurate 1911.)

I need a Clark built Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911 modified for 38spl capable of 1" groups (5 inch barrel) at 50yds. (Quite unpopular cartridge for a semi auto.)

I would like to build something in 358 Norma.
