Just what the title says. I'm hankerin' for a new toy (even though I should be looking at a new safe). It's getting kinda hard to find holes that need to be filled... my thoughts are:
1. A heavy barreled bolt action in .204 (most likely) or .223.
2. A .300 RUM M700 SPS or SPS-SS or ADL-SS
3. A WSM of some sort - Howa or Weatherby Vanguard if I can find one
4. What I'm leaning towards, a Ruger African in .375 Ruger, or
4a. An M70 Super Express in .375 H&H
5. A Marlin Cowboy .45-70 (dang you Pop!)
6. I guess I could just wait for the 700CDL-SF in 6mm to come out.
7. Ruger Number 1 .300 H&H
As I said, I'm pretty well covered with deer/elk rifles, and I have an HB .220 Swift Ruger. My biggest gun is a .35 Whelen. So I guess one of the .375s would make the most sense.
Of course, I could probably be pretty close to the cost of #2 and #3 with one of the big boomers.
I guess I'm looking for opinions and/or a nudge one way or another.
