your next dream gun.

what would your dream gun be. your just your next dream gun.mine would be a 475 linebaugh made by john linebaugh 61/2 bar taped with 2 power nikon scope walnut shovels.

I would like to have a Bisley Hunter converted to a 5-holer in .480 Ruger with a 5-1/2" barrel, done by our own wapitrod.

that would be awsome the bisley is great frame lot of the linebaugh gus based on that. mite have to change my dream for a wapitrod gun.

My next, although I have many dreams, would be a FA 97 in 22lr/22mag, 7 1/2" barrel, white micarta grips and topped with a 2.5x8 leuy. This would make for some good squirrel medicine.

I've been contemplating A Lone Eagle Or T/C...since we are dreaming chambered in 50bmg...

you gotta dream on something possible! 50 bmg ain't even in the ballpark.

at the moment....a ss(even blued one might suffice) lipseys ruger blackhawk 44 special in 4 5/8".

i'd like to do a small amount of rework to my xp 7br at some point.

In revolvers, just a nice custom 44Mag or 45 LC.
It would be scoped. 6 to 7 inch barrel

oh boy... I am afraid to even ask...

Can we guess it? Just joking... LOL

Duane

CANT WAIT to see that Edward.

How about a Glock 1911? (just kidding)... How about a Ruger 4" Redhawk, 5 shooter, in .454? That would be too cool.

From a practial standpoint, my next "dream gun" will either be one of my 4.5" BHs converted to 480 Ruger, or another 480 SRH shortened to 3.5" like the one in the 6th post in this link.

I just want plain working gun I can carry on the bely & forget it's there.
I have nothing against the .475 Linebaugh, but since from what I've read Mr Linebaugh & son both run their pet 475s at velocities less that I am getting with way sub max 480 Ruger loads (400gr @ 1150 in a 7.5" barrel) the 480 cartridge should continue to serve me well.

From a non-practical standpoint I love some of the S&W custom shop 29s & 629s. Hm,,, if I could get them chambered in a 5 shot 480...

I would like to see someone produce a reasonably priced bolt action hunting pistol.

Rear or center-grip?
What would a reasonable price be?

I would like a .44 mag from Freedom Arms.

Maybe not in a T/C but possible in a pistol...

I would prefer a center grip. Under $1000 would be reasonable.

My next "dream" revolver is a .500 Max built by Jack Huntington with a 6.5-inch barrel, and a Bisley grip frame.

I want a Magnum Research BFR in 450 Marlin.

Honestly, I doubt if that will ever happen.
You can get a MOA for around that cost though.

A FA 44 Magnum. But would be good with a SBH 44 Magnum 7.5 inch with a 4x scope.

I second that FA in 454 Casull with a 7.5 inch barrel and a four power scope.

I've been eyeballing a Bisley Hunter in 44 mag. for a while now. And its actually obtainable. So I don't know if that qualifies as dream gun. Growing up as a teenager my dream gun always was a Colt Python 357 mag. SS 6'' bbl. These guns that are still avalible and in good shape go for a pretty penny.

I don't have specific numbers in front of me, but since there are no factory bolt rigs being made (except maybe Weatherby and Blaser-Both expensive), I just don't see a economical bolt rig being made since we are such a niche group. I know of several that have spoken about this this and, if it ever does happen it would really be more of a semi-custom/custom level.
With that in mind, I am guessing that 1,000 - 1,400 would be a ballpark, leaning toward the higher side of those numbers.
I may be off base here, but those are my thoughts.

Thanks for the Info Ernie

A Nimrod in .45Colt by Bowen Classic Arms. I have the base gun in .44Mag already. Just waiting to get in the mood to send it off. I have several other guns from him and they are great.

Maybe a .309JDJ from SSK, too, although that doesn't quite qualify as a "gun".

Probably an x frame from the performance center, chambered in 460.

No real "dream" gun, just wish I had more time to use the ones I already have!

Doc

Doc, I 2nd that! But I did see a pre-owned FA 83 PG 454 with a 7.5"ported barrell at about $1500.00, IT looked nice!

Freedom Arms model 97 Premier grade in 22/327 with a 10" octagon barrel, scope mount, 2~8 Leupolds scope, macarta grips and a nice shoulder rig for it.

Limiting it to just handguns...

I'll go with a 6" octagonal-barreled FA PG 83 - can't decide between 44, 45LC or 475 Lin. So since we're dreamin'...

Not sure if its a dream gun but have wanted a bisley frame Blackhawk for some time.
44 mag on its way and hopefully be here by Thursday
Ragged hole blade on its way
Like to have a fiber optic fron sight installed but not sure if I can get it done before deer season.
May have to go with some flo paint on the front sight

Why not all three if we're dreamin'?!

Exactly! Let's add action jobs, consecutive serials, fiber optic fronts (or maybe brass beads).

Now I need to get back to work to pay for my dreams!

LOL been working.somhow tell my wife why i need this gun so bad ....../she says you already have so many / i say this one will really nockem down hun .LOL

3" tapered barrel 5 shot 357 or 44? 45lc? 6.5" redhawk/danwesson with a gain twist.

I have a 6.5 WSM in process from APS and my next dream is a FA 83 in 475Lin with 7.5 barrel and leupy on top.

Very Cool!

An XP-100 in 6.5 Credemore or 6.5-08 A- Square. And maybe another one in 6.5 Grendel.

Well, I can help some with the delimna....They don't build just a 45 Colt anymore unless you buy an extra cylinder with the 454 so that helps out some right

I have been giving this alot of thought,and I have chosen after all it is a dream.I would like a pre-war 1st gen Colt SAA.

Gee, Thanks Glenn...or should I call you Dreamcrusher?

Sure you can "settle" for that? LOL!

My dream gun would be a 454 Casull built by Freedom Arms, with a 7.5 in barrel and a Leopuld 4x scope. Someday I hope!

NIB Python.... blued and any barrel length will do nicely.

A double rifle in 375 H&H from H&H themselfs...

Not so much a dream gun as my next project. I've been talking to my reamer supplier and he got in contact with FA for me after I sent him an email. I had been debating on which true .500 caliber gun I wanted to build since the reloading options for the 500 Linebaugh are very limited so I was trying to decide between the 500S&W special the 500JRH and the 500WE and in the end I decided the primary .500 cal I would chamber for would be the WE. I received a message back from Dave Manson saying he had spoke to FA and they said they would sell me the reamer directly after making sure it was to their standards. I've sent a message to Bob Baker and I'm waiting to hear back but it looks promising so back to the original question my next gun will be a 5 shot Ruger in 500WE and will probably sport an 8-9 inch barrel. The next one I build though will probably be a 357Max Blackhawk re chambered to 500S&W or Max.

that sounds cool rod cant wait to see it .

A .475 Linebaugh levergun to go with my .475 BFR.

My next gun would need to be a .308 Encore. I need a longer range gun for Hogs n Deer but mostly hogs. I have a G2 30-30 now I just want a bit more killing range for pigs.

And here I thought I was being helpful and making the choice easier
