Don't need to own it, just want to shoot it: A 470 NE Holland & Holland double rifle; while pointed at a cape buffalo 30 yards away.
Edit: Ok, I lied. I want to own it too.

Not so much a specific rifle make, but at some point, I'd really like to own a rifle chambered in .416 Rigby. I have no need for one but that is currently the last must have rifle on my list.

My dream: to owns a pre war Holland&Holland side by side .470 .... not that I have problems with rogue elephants destroyng the flowers on my back yard..... I just would like to have one to keep on a special cabinet to look at it and occasinaly take it out to bark.!
Had a chance to buy one 35 yrs a go, at the local gun-show, a beauty, heavily engraved, 2 sets of barrels, in the original wood case covered with rhino skin, belts and buckles closing, original tools with ivory and ebony handle, still a dozen of boxes of 20 cartridges each, plus the manuscrit pedegree of african animals taken with location and date... asking price 14.000..... I purchase a house instead. It turn out I did ok it was a better investment.!!!!

- Pre 64 M70 .270 to replace the one I "lost" (good proximation of FN .270 my father had made in Belgium and W. Germany ca 1951 and heirloomed to--and stolen from--me years ago).
- Thompson 1928A1 "Navy" w/ 30 stick
- Pre War Win 1894 .30WCF 24-26" round. I'm normally a carbine guy when it comes to levers, but this is one of those "if you could have only one" - do-all rifles that checks all the right boxes and the one you'd take with confidence to the hills.

Winchester 1886 take down in 33 WCF.
Winchester 1892 take down in 44-40
Savage 99 in .303 Savage
Marlin 336 in .35 Rem
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
Springfield M1A
Mauser K98
Thompson
That's my current wanted list, some are obtainable some I will probably never own but I think that's about it for now.

CZ 550 in 6.5 Creedmore or Remington
These cartridges fascinate me. Been years I've wanted to build a rifle in this chambering. The only action that interests me anymore is the CZ550. I guess at some point I'll shoot out the barrel on this 308, and when I do, should I decide not to simply cut and rechamber the excellent cold hammer forged barrel which is on there already, maybe find a good Chrome Molybdenum Krieger or Obermeyer in 6.5.
I have no real use for any such thing, but it still seems like a fun project.

My Dream Rifle is the Remington 1903A4 Sniper Rifle.
But I want one that I can shoot and not feel guilty about. Im really looking hard at the Replicas that have hit the market in recent years.
I would like to have one of these as my Rifle, for Hunting, and Shooting.
To me its the most awesome looking Rifle ever made.

.50 BMG
I would dearly like to wang away at some absurd distance with a .50, say a Barret or any other, at something like a 55 gal drum.
