Money no option wish list

#1 Post by Mike357 »

If money wasn't an issue, what firearms would you add to your collection? Vintage, modern, shotgun anything goes. List as many as you can be bothered to list. ;)

Savage/Osprey Rifles F/TR .308
Tactical Rifle based on Surgeon Action in 260 or 6.5 x 47
Southern Gun Co. 9mm Lever Release
Ruger Old Army Stainless Steel
Custom fitted Beretta SO Sporting.

Well that's my pension pot empty!!!!

If money was not an issue,

I would in a jiffy buy myself an inch action and a nice Savage stock to go with it.

IOR scope on top.

In no particuler order:

A genuine proven provinence early war Kar98 sniper
.338 Lap TRG42 with S&B 25X because they shoot so well.
P14 sniper with an Aldis 'scope
Something with an INCH action chambered in a 7mm wildcat
SAUR 200 or 205 with the target stock chambered in 6.5x47 Lap

I may add some more :)

I seriously considered selling my whole collection of guns, my Spyderco collection, my car, my right kidney and my first born son to get a DSR-1........

The wife wouldn't let me.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Well if you could blag a Carl Zeiss Hensoldt ZF 6-24x72 SAM in the deal it seems quite reasonable to me.

LOL!

For years I had only ever seen photos of a DSR-1. A new member in our club turns up with one. (And half a dozen RPAs!!) He let me look at it, but that was it......... then a couple of months ago, he handed me half a box of ammo and said to have a cabbie!

I knew straight away I wanted one!

pe4king managed to find me a second hand one, glassed up with an S&B, extra mags, mirage bands, peli case and other goodies! ELEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS!!!!!

If money was no option and I had the space...

[1] A Swiss ZFKar. 1955 sniper rifle,
[2] An all-matching Swedish m/41 with AJACK 4x90 scope and post-war m/41B version (AGA 4x90 m/41B scope) sniper rifle chambered in the excellent 6.5x55mm cartridge,
[3] A rare Swedish m/38 sniper rifle made up by Swedish Army armourers during WWII and issued to Norwegian Politi units. Those remaining in Sweden after the war were usually rebuilt to m/41B specifications as the Army was unwilling to keep any non-standard rifles in its inventory,
[4] An experimental Von-Hofe Express K98k military sniper rifle chambered in 5.6x61mm. One of a kind manufactured in the late 1930's or early 1940's,
[5] Maybe a tactical style rifle chambered in 6.5x47mm LAPUA? Something like a rebarrelled TRG-22 or an AI AW rifle (http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek084.html),
[6] I've always wanted a SIG SAUER SSG300

That's it for now.
