Rifle/Cartridge Wish List?

[nvbroncrider]

Well I guess I need to add my two cents. It wasn't even a thought until those fine people at Winchester decided to release a M70 in 7X57. I now own a set of dies so then the thought came across that I need an M70 Mauser collection. I currently own a 6.5X55.

My wants are:

M70's
6-284
257
7X57
8X57
9.3X62

That should keep me busy for a couple years!!

Good set of cartridges, Jake. My next want (?)/need (?) is an 8X68S built on a Model 70.

A 6.5x68S on a mauser!

I had a Krico .22 Hornet stolen years ago. I wouldn't mind having another .22 Hornet at least. The Krico was a sweet gun too though. I have a few things in the works already that need to be finished. A .500 Weatherby, a .500 A-Square, a .300 Norma, and another heavy barreled .30-8mm. Beyond that I want to build a .375-.338 Norma Imp. or a .375-.338 Lapua Imp. I just picked up another Rem. SS 700ml so I might build a smokeless muzzle loader finally. I've been wanting to build one for awhile.

A 6.5x68S on a mauser!

That would be a fascinating cartridge to work with. It wouldn't add a thing to modern cartridges, but it would be unique in today's world of shooting.

I still have a little craving for the .50-110WCF.

However a double barreled express rifle in .577/500 magnum black powder or a .577 nitro express does on occasional basis haunt. I know the cure though..:lol.

IF I had time for more NRA Highpower match shooting, I'd like:

1. A highpower type AR-15 for service rifle competition.
2. To set up my "Green Machine" for NRA match rifle competition, maybe even swap to a .260 barrel.

IF I had the time & budget for dangerous game hunting, I'd like a .375 in a repeater rather than my single shot Ruger Number One. Maybe a .375 H&H Model 70 Winchester, or a Kimber Talkeetna. Or maybe a .375 Ruger in either the Ruger bolt action or the NOSLER bolt action... I about drooled all over the keyboard when I saw that one on line...

And an "old west" style single shot rifle - a Sharps or a Remington rolling block... Something Quigly-like!

700 Classic in .221 Fireball (still kicking myself for not getting one when they came out ), a Sako 6.5x55, and a Model 70 .375 H&H, either Alaskan or Safari Express.

After seeing Guys new 700 cdl 3006 I'm thinking I need one your enabling with out even knowing it :mrgreen:

I am stocked with rifles for an old man but I would like to have a genuine Mauser from Europe, stocked in Europe in 7mm Mauser.

That would be very cool. Still waiting on Mike to give us a report of his new Featherweight 7mm. Thinking I might have to save up for one of my own. Or a 6.5 Swede if they ever make them again.

There are so many, so little time....so little money.

My next project will likely be a .22LR.... I love having a good grade bolt action .22 lying about and right now mine are all strictly plinker grade.

I also still have the matter of a lefty youth rifle to drum up for the boy...probably a 7-08.

I was surprised at how many LH 7mm-08's there are when I checked it out. Remington SPS, several Browning X Bolt's, several Savage's, several Tikka T3's, Ruger Hawkeye, and some I'm sure I'm missing. That's a pretty good selection of lefty rifles.

Hopefully, I can get a scope mounted this week and do some shooting with this, Scotty. Man, I've been swamped for the past several months.

I know, just excited for it's debut!

I had a 7mm boo boo from Dave Tooley which was based on the 8x68 RWS case years ago, it was my first custom wild cat rifle build and I wish I never got rid of it.

I now have my sights waiting for a GA Precision Thunder Ranch in 6.5 x 47 lapua! Ya babe..... I think it's time for me to put my skills against the guys that do this stuff in competition and put my best foot forward! God, why did I wait so long for this to come I'll never know? One thing I noticed, most if not all these guys raced dirt bikes back in their day....... wow we have something in common I see other then just shooting things. Did I mention I got my Marksman and Pro-Marksman at age seven while at camp for 8 weeks.... that was interesting being hundreds of miles from home all summer, I learned a lot though.

I know, I know what your thinking, but if you only knew me when I was much younger. I was a machine, born with some of the greatest skills a person could ask for and the brains to match. I have my Father to thank for that and God to know better! Ok back to this blog..... did I mention anything with a 6.5mm or 7mm bullet is about optimum for recoil and high B.C. at the same time?

 

[Oldtrader3]

I went to camp in the summer also when we lived in the city, Montreal or New York, when I was a boy. By the time I was a teen, I lived on an island of 150 people in coastal southern Maine and built our own camps and owned BB guns and later .22 single shots, bolt actions.

I just wish that my dad's Oberndorf, Mauser-Sporter, custom, 7mm Mauser had not been stolen when I was a younger adult. My sister and half brother are not shooters and I would have inherited this rifle instead of some kid buying dope with the proceeds of the theft.

I just bought a CZ 453, .22 LR for informal target shooting, assuming that rimfire Ammo will be available some day again in the future?

700 Classic in .221 Fireball (still kicking myself for not getting one when they came out ), a Sako 6.5x55, and a Model 70 .375 H&H, either Alaskan or Safari Express.

I really like my Classic Fireball, just need to replace the wart on the bolt shroud, and do a little more tweaking. Maybe bedding and replacing the scope.

As to the other two, yes and yes!

Winchester Model 71 348 Winchester

Winchester Model 70 375 H&H Alaskan

Winchester Model 70 7mm Mauser

Winchester Model 94 BB 356/307 Win

Winchester Model 70 280 Remington

Winchester Pre64 Featherweight 270/30-06

Winchester Model 70 6.5x55 Swede

None of them are absolutely must have but their all rifles I would enjoy in cartridges that are pretty cool and useful. Man, this is another list I hope the wife doesn't run across in the Internet history!

Can't argue with any of those... Well, maybe the .270!

As far as M70s go, I really want a Sporter CRF .300H&H.... An SS .375, a Safari Express in .416, some sort of .284 Win., an EW in 7WSM...

 

[JD338]

Think I need to add a 26 Nosler. Ran the numbers and it would make for one flat shooting cull rifle.
