Dream gun - now vs. ten years ago
 

My taste in arms has changed . Ten years ago I'd choose an AR-15 , a 12 ga in an automatic and pistol grip , and a Beretta 92 . Now I'd go for a Remington (can't remeber if it is High wall or Low wall ) .223 with Leatherfield scope , Ruger Red Label in 12 ga and , A stubby (maybe 3") Smith and Wesson in .44 mag .

I have always wanted a Springfield Armoury M1A. Maybe one day??

I own 3 of my dream guns, with the latest being the 257 Wthby my wife purchased for me. The next true dream gun for me to purchase is aDPMS Race Gunor a Krinkov. I want to get one of those before any new gun legislation is wrote.

I have done pretty well over the past 10 years to fill my dream gun list, but I have also discovered that most were a let down. I own 2 Colt AR's, 2 Sauer 202's, a Blaser R-93, and a H&K P7M8 off my "dream list" and am pretty much done dreaming.

hey one day u'll get one. that was my dream gun for a long time. then one day at gun show, there was a brand new one me and my dad saw sittin there and had a good price tag on it, and my dad knew that i always wanted one, so he jus said lets get it, and then jus gave it to me! and pretty much all my dream guns are WAAYY to expensive(more then a few grand) or illegal(full auto guns)

How well does that Blaser shoot? I love the looks of them, and if I ever bought a $3,000+ gun that would be it ( I think).

I'm starting to chase ya RR!!

Well, my "dream gun" was a Remington 700PSS. I finally bought one 3 years ago and love it. Then I built an AR-15 varmint rifle. I have a .243 AI getting built by Kampfeld Custom. After that a 7mm long range rig. I have others, but those are really my dream rifles.

RE: Dream gun - now vs. ten years ago
 

I have owned a few R-93's in calibers 243, 270, 300 WSM, 300 WM, and 375 H&H, and my current gun is a Professional "Tracker" (19.75" barrel) in 308. Every single caliber has shot MOA out of the box with factory ammo. This Pro Tracker is by far my favorite Blaser and in the top 3 of any gun I have ever owned. The straight bolt pull takes a little getting used to, but the take down/switch barrel system makes for a very nice easily packable gun.

If you would like to discuss Blaser further, feel free to PM me.

My dream guns are as follows- M82A2 Barret .50 BMG or TAC-50 .50 BMG, AR-15 with Adjustable Stock, nice scope in .223 and the same weapon in .308, M-14, M-1 Garand and SVD Draganov.

ten years ago would have ben a Benjamin Sheridan Pellet gun :). Now its a Remington Sendero SFII in 264 or 7mm, havent decided on which yet, after all its a dream and I have plenty of time to decide right? :)

RE: Dream gun - now vs. ten years ago
 

Ah, for me it was the case that 10 years ago they were dream guns, and today I pretty much own them, though there is always something intriguing (currently non-50BMG) long range shooting and hunting.

A new and differentset of dreams now....
More where and what to go hunt rather than what gun to go buy.

Working on that part. In the mean time, thumping elk from time to time provides a reasonable past time.... but grows mundane.

RE: Dream gun - now vs. ten years ago
 

I'll thump them Elk anytime for ya :D Thats one of my dream hunts along with moose and caribou.

10 years ago I forget what my passions were.

Currently I'm dreaming of a Sako 85 Finnlight in 300 WSM stainless. That's at the top of my list, but also included would be a nice double barrel rifle. Don't need either but want for each is strong. Would like a good 12g auto some day too. My wife doesn't support my gun habit plus she hunts with me and knows enough about them I can't get away with much.

Funny story though for you guys. Sitting back against another bench at a resturant, 2 old couples were overheard talking. One old woman was lamenting to the other woman about, "Poor Harold. Dang state changed the regulations again so he has to go buy another brand new rifle this year again, just to stay legal to hunt."

Dang, sometimes I really wish my wife didn't hunt with me.
