Next gun purchase
 
What gun is next on your list to purchase? If I had the money, I would buy a Sako 75 Finnlight in 7mm Rem Mag topped with a Kahles CL Multizero riflescope. I hope to get this combo in the future, but for now I think I will have to settle for a Ruger M77 Mark II Standard or Winchester 70 Featherweight Stainless in 30-06 with a Leupold VX-III (still a sweeeet scope) in 3.5-10X40mm. I'm still a young sportsman who works part time during winter and full time during summer so I have to carefully pick what outdoor equipment I WANT and need.

Marlin 336 SS in 30-30. Unfortuantely I'll have to wait about a year since I just got a Winchester Select Field O/U 12 ga. this week.

I honestly have no plans to buy any more hunting rifles.I have two 7mmstws and two 300ultramags and I can't see any cartridges or rifles that would offer any advantage in my hunting.If a barrel gets shot out,I will simply replace it.I am happy with the 3x10x42 swarovskis mounted on themas well, so my hunting budget will be spent on more hunting time instead.

A Weatherby Mark V Super Varmint Master .220 Swift Single Shot, or Thompson/Center Encore 209x50.

If I would run into some money, a .Weatherby Mark V Safari Grade Custom .416 Wby. Mag., or Dakota 76 African Grade .416 Dakota.[8D][8D]Good luck.

I also have all the rifles required for hunting with good optics but would like to get a 22 Hornet, 223 or 22-250 rifle. Something in a 22 caliber that I can reload and fun to shoot.

I am in a similar situation as stubblejumper.

You're a lucky man.....most of us are spending it at the gas pump. At $5.00/gal there in Canada one would suspect only a few can still afford ammo to even go hunting.

I've always wanted a .270 Weatherby Mag.

But my practical next rifle will probably be a Browning Micro in .308. Because I am always trying to find a kid to take with me to get them into hunting, but don't have a youth rifle. Also b/c I would have it for my g/f.

And b/c I've always wanted a .308 also.
