Mine:

357 Python

Marlin 39A 22 LR

and maybe some more................. :mrgreen:
 
I'm sure your list will expand as you sell. I have 3 wants now a M70 8 Mauser a 9.3 Mauser to complete my M70 Mauser collection a M70 6-284 and I have a donor for one in hand.
 
Hunts, not equipment. That's what my bucket list is full of!

I'm fat on equipment, short on time & money for all the hunting I want to do...

pre 64 m70 in 375 H&H
pre 64 m70 in 9.3x62Mauser
Smith and Wesson 610 6" barrel 10mm
Winchester M21 in 12 gauge
Want to find my Great uncles 1873 Win in 44-40 and his Browning Safari in 3006. Lost those when he died. Someone pilfered the gun room before the authorities could secure his collection.

That sucks. Gun thieves should be turned over to the tender mercies of gun owners.
 
Funny thing, this bucket list of mine. Lots of calibers I'd love to wring out, including the .221 Fireball, 6.5x55 and .375 H&H. However, there's also lots of different glass I'd like to try, which would cost as much or more than those rifles. Then, as Guy pointed out, I could do a lot of hunting for that kind of money...

That does it, I'm buying a lottery ticket. :shock:
 
Browning Citori 12 ga.
700 LSS 375 RUM

BC for all kinds of things if my in-laws get their act together and buy a hunting license for 3 consecutive years so I can go without a guide. They have a giant mule deer buck on their property now :-(.

My goodness, man, you must compel them to act with dispatch! This is more important than life itself!
 
A little different answer here, but mine would be to have both my daughters want to hunt with me. I also want a custom 7mm Dakota or 270 Wby.

Oh I have tried. My wife's step-dad said he was going to get a license this year (he has hunted quite a bit in the past but not recently). So if that is the case then I only have to wait 3 more years before I can go.
 
Hunts:
Africa for Buff and a few plains game animals
North for Caribou!
