My 7mm own I bought last year. I would love to take a coyote with it. I would love to own a 338 edge and take a very long range coyote with it.

I would love to get one of those CZ UHR guns that guarantee moa at up to 600 yards.  It is in .300 Win Mag and is on of the few of that caliberin their line up.  Too much for my budget though...

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Had a Ruger #1 in 458.  Took it out squirrel hunting with some friends :chuckle:  The look on their faces was priceless.  The laughter after I missed the first squirrel carried on for hours.

Always wanted a Titanium Mountain rifle in .260 Rem..  They don't make it anymore so I'll probably never get a chance.  But, man how I would love to take a 450# plus high mountain boar with one.

My Remington 700P 308 has been on the Disabled List since the day I got her sighted in. A fatefull car accident ruined her career 4 years ago. she is hoping to make a comeback this summer as a coyote gun

Josh.  You got the R8.  Beautiful gun.  Did you get it through the R&G club there or else where?  And if you don't mind what did you pay?  I am looking at a R93 right now.

I skipped the rod and gun and ordered through frankonia since my rod and gun would have to order a blaser through frank anyways.  I originally ordered the rifle in in R93 but because I wanted 7x64 and not 30.06 like everyone else on the planet and also because of the retooling over to the R8's the gun was going to take 6+ months to make.  That coupled with the news that Blaser is discontinuing the R93 in 2013 made me switch over to ordering an R8 which my buchsemacher was able to get me just shy of 2 months.  After the VAT it was 2594 euros. 

There are aftermarket barrels available now for the R93 since the patent ran out last year but blaser will stop making parts soon.  If i were going to get a blaser R93 i would get one of the makura take downs because they take all the same R93 parts but they are a nicer grade of wood for the same price.  they are super nice.

Agreed the Makura is a great way to go.  Those are beautiful rifles.  I seen one on EGun the other day that I was very close to jumping all over.

My Dad gave me an Arisaka type 38 jap carbine in 6.5mm. I was going to try and hunt with it this year but found its accuracy really sucked. I dont want to sporterize it since it is an early WW2 relic so I only shot it open sighted. Maybe thats why we won that war :chuckle:. My brother has an M1 garand that would be fun to chase deer around with. Maybe someday.

I'd like to buy a Weatherby Mark V Lazermark in 270wby mag.  When I was a kid and my Dad was outfitting, 2 of his clients showed up with these guns.  The prettiest damn guns I'd ever seen.  I was drooling all over them and one guy let me shoot his.  I was in 7th heaven for sure and swore I'd own one someday.  Now I look at them, and although I could afford one, I just can't bring myself to buy a gun that I'd probably turn into a safe queen.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
