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!!!!

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

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.

Re: Money no option wish list
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 :)

Re: Money no option wish list
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.Sim G wrote: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........

Re: Money no option wish list
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!!!!!

Re: Money no option wish list
My list feels very low rent now :-)

Re: Money no option wish list
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.
