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.
Rod, too.

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.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

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

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. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/showthread.php/62292-Handgun-Pictures!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...

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

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".

I really like the 97 in 22 and I would like one in 22/327, and 44 special but for some reason, they want money in return so I guess I'll have to wait a little while

Dream revision - Bob Baker decides to make me a 6" barreled Octagonal Mod 83 in LC, because of my dedication and brand loyalty to FA. Hmmm, perhaps too delusional. I'll settle for a 5.5" octagonal barreled Mod 97 in .45 LC.

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.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist

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.

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
Gee, Thanks Glenn...or should I call you Dreamcrusher?
Dream revision - Bob Baker decides to make me a 6" barreled Octagonal Mod 83 in LC, because of my dedication and brand loyalty to FA. Hmmm, perhaps too delusional. I'll settle for a 5.5" octagonal barreled Mod 97 in .45 LC.
And here I thought I was being helpful and making the choice easier The 6" octagons are REALLY nice. They are about the best handling of all of them in my opinion. In the 97, I really like the 4.25" barrels. They are just about perfect! I will try not to crush anymore dreams
