- Barnard right handed Action with 31" Truflite F-class contour, 1:8 twist barrel chambered in 284shehane spitting 180gn ELD-M at near 3000fps, 30MOA rail with a US Optics B-25 (PR 2 reticle) mounted in a left handed GRS Kelby X-Eater stock in Green Mountain: F-class open rig
- Montana left handed action with 21.5" 1:9 twist Truflite #4 contour barrel chambered in 7mm-08AI with a Zeiss Victory V8 2.8-20x50 mounted in a GRS Hunter left hand stock with DBM fitted: medium game hunting/varminting rig
- Lithgow 102 Crossover, left hand chambered in 223rem fitted with Zeiss Victory HT 3-12x56: small game & pest control rig
- Matched pair of SxS shotguns in 12g & 410: because i need them... honest i do!
- Litgow 101 Crossover in right hand, trigger worked, fitted with a crazy, overthetop target contour Truflite barrel with 30MOA rail to interchange the US Optics B-25 scope and fitted into a GRS X-eater stock: f-class training and 'rimfire f-class' rig
- Full custom left handed micro action with an 18.5" 1:14 twist Varmint contour Truflite barrel chambered in 223McShort to soot 36-40gn bullets, fitted with Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x40: pest control rig

Would also keep my T-bolt and have the trigger worked, fit a Ziess HD5 2-10x42
Also keep the old Sportco for sentimental reasons, ie: rigididge Aussie made rifle, my first 22lr, first rifle i fixed from a buggered olf farm gun to a good old farm gun.

:thumbsup: :drinks: :friends: I'm a man of simple tastes....

EDIT: Just Changed my mind from US Optics to Kahles 10-50x56..... bugger it, i'll get 2! :D :lol:

Dear Santa, I want a Springfeild "Trapdoor" in .45-70 or .50-70, a Winchester 1873 in .44-40.a .577/.450 Martini, an Enfeild Snider in .58, a Spencer carbine in .56-50 and a Remington cap and ball revolving carbine.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

I want a black powder cannon. A reproduction one will do. One of the half scale ones. Only problem is I can't hide it in the safe. Not even sure what the storage requirements of a cannon are. I imagine the barrel/breech section would need to be stored as per regular firearms.

Failing that a SCAR would be cool.

As far as legal firearms .... more Milsurps, or a big fiddy.

This got me thinking. I've got my dream handgun, it's a 6 inch barreled blued Colt Python, and I've had it for 30ish years. The rifle and shotgun are a bit harder, two options on the rifle, rimfire and center fire. Rimfire would be a Springfield M1922, the center fire would be a Savage 99 in 250/3000. The scattergun would either a Winchester Model 21 SxS in 12 gauge or a Browning Superposed also in 12 gauge.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."

the ultimate dream would be to walk into the LGS and be able to buy anything I felt like shooting without category restrictions, Or better still if Kmart still had guns and ammo in the sporting department, I could be browsing while the other half shops :D
As for dream gun, How about a Lithgow Arms F90...just because :D

Even though it's quite crazy and over the top I would love a cliche SHTF Ar but in 308 rather then 223, and of course the rifle would have all the mocha fluted barrel, skeletonised barrel shroud etc etc

The Ruger SR556 takedown.

Conversion kit available to change from .223 rem to .300 blackout by changing barrel in less than 1 minute, if they do the same thing with the SR762 then it could give options for .243w/260rem and 7mm-08 along with .308w.

Of course you could just change the upper with AR platform to achieve the same thing but much easier and cheaper to just change barrel which also gives options for longer barrels.

Why not the L1A2 / AR, select fire with bipod and 30 rd mags ?

Bit heavier but much more authoritative out wide.
