Rifle that is not made but you think they should?

I would love to see a stainless steel, laminated pistol grip stocked version of the Browning BLR in 375 WSM. Short action, 20 inch barrel, about 7-1/2 pounds empty, it would make a tremendous close-quarters powerhouse for large game.
 
Aarond, I'm pretty sure a whole lot of cadet's were convertrd to .357, and I'm a little surprised you haven't stumbled upon one by this late date. I even had one in .222 remington.
 
Long gun in a .32 H&R. .327F might work as long as it still cycles the H&R.

Specifally thinking a Ruger 96/32 lever action.

Bolt action would be better than nothing.
 
A Remington 7600 in .357 Mag/.44 Mag/.30-30 that is tube fed and not made by Remington :D.

Also a CZ 527 Carbine in .30-30.

It would be the R1A- R-14. And would have "Ruger" stamped on the receiver. That alone is reason enough to make a whole new line of rifle right? Lol

I would much rather see "Springfield" on mine

Well I know the Mini 14 and M14 are very similar but they have a few minor differences with the gas system being the biggest one(just my experience cleaning the two).

Also I'd prefer Ruger as it would be half the price and have the exact same quality.

For me its a Semiautomatic 357 magnum carbine with a 16 inch barrel.

Ohh yeah. As soon as I saw the thread title this was the first thing I thought of. I'm imagining something with a tube mag and bottom loading gate like a scaled-down Mossberg 930 shotgun. It would come with ghost ring sights, and some kind of manually adjustable gas system for shooting light loads. It would be great if you could shoot .38 special in it but I have no idea if this is possible in a semiauto.

My other rifle wish is an M14 .22LR trainer. I've seen some pretty cool 10/22s modded to look M14-ish but none of them are quite right.

Since I'm dreaming already, why not an affordable M14 produced by a highly modular industry like that which supports the AR15.

My Coonan shoots 38 special but it requires a change of recoil springs. Getting a semiautomatic rifle/carbine to feed both 38s and 357 magnums could be a bit more difficult but I don't think its impossible.


A m1 in a 401 would be very fun to shoot! My grandfather loved the 401.
 
Similar to a Ruger 99/44 with the following changes:
- Stainless steel
- free floating barrel
- options for 10 and 20 round magazines.
- highly accurate
- adjustable trigger
- oh and around $399;)

I'd like to add my vote to more traditional/"non-tactical" pistol caliber carbines, similar to the Marlin camp series. Available in common pistol calibers especially 9mm, 40S&W, and 45acp. Possibly others as well. I want one with a decent looking traditional wood stock, but a synthetic should be an option as well. I'm thinking like a 30 carbine or mini-14 in pistol calibers listed above.
 
I'd like to see more takedown rifles in solid chamberings like .308 and 30-06 for ease of transport and storage.

That would be nice.

An AR15 type with a stock like a Ruger mini 14.

Or a mini-14 rifle that took STANAG mags.

A return of the Savage 99 lever-action, updated as needed ..... Chambered in all of the 308-based calibers

A single shot 460 pistol for hunting.

I have A genius IDEA, but I won't share it unless you are a manufacturer and will put a few thing on paper first :)

A revolver rifle chambered in 38-55.
And I mean a proper one that was designed to be a rifle from the start. Not one of those Rossi Circuit Judges that's just a revolver with a really long barrel and an ugly-ass stock.

IDK why, but something about a revolver rifle with a really long, slender cartridge just seems cool to me.
 
Thanks Strafer Gott,,,

I had never heard of the Martini Henry Cadet before your post,,,
A quick Google search verified your information,,,
Many were indeed converted to .357 Mag.

I did find one listed at Gunbroker,,,
But $1,495.00 is out of my range this week. ;)

I guess I'll have to settle for my break-open H&R Handi-Rifle,,,
That Martini Henry action is just soooo danged sexy,,,
I had dreams about emulating the movie Zulu. :D

Thanks for the info my friend.

A bolt action with a 20 inch medium sporter barrel (#2.5 or #3 contour). There are handy deer rifles out there like the Rem Model Seven, but their barrels are #1 contours and heat up very quickly when practicing at the range. There are rifles with 20 inch bull barrels, but they are too heavy. A Rem Model Seven (or something similar) with a medium sporter barrel would be just right for hunting deer.

To make the rifle perfect, it should have the following:
1. A free floated barrel
2. A rigid synthetic stock with aluminum bedding
3. A nice two-stage trigger like the new Vanguard S2
4. Chambered in .243Win, 7MM-08, or .308
5. A three position tang safety
6. Stainless steel action and barrel, treated with a matte black or grey anti corrosion coating
7. Detachable magazine

Not that I have been thinking about this much.

Joe Chicago, to make it even more perfect it needs to be select walnut, chrome moly blued steel, and a fully bedded action and 26" barrel in 222 rem.
