While my mind is currently focused on heading to Louisville for NRAAM<\/a>, I figured I’d throw up this quick post.<\/p>\n

A little while ago, a buddy of mine asked me what my top 3 gun wish list was at current date.\u00a0 I couldn’t really answer him at the time, but it’s been peculating in the back of my head.\u00a0 So… here’s my attempt to answer that.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a “modern” centerfire bolt-action.\u00a0 Oddly enough, I don’t have a bolt action rifle that’s not in .22 that was built in my lifetime.\u00a0 While I enjoy my Mosin Nagant m39 and my Ishy Enfield is great for a milsurp bolt gun, I do want to eventually do things like the Boomer Shoot.\u00a0 That pretty much requires a modern bolt gun with a good scope on it.\u00a0 The Remington 700 used to be the default for this, but I’ve been steering clear of them due to their current QC issues.\u00a0 Maybe a Savage Axis II?\u00a0 Or even that new Ruger Precision Rifle?\u00a0 Then there’s the question of caliber.\u00a0 .308 would be good, due to it being something I already keep in stock, but I’m not averse to arguments for other calibers.\u00a0 Especially since, from what I’ve read, .308 is kind of on the bottom end of recommended calibers for the kinds of distances you see at the Boomer Shoot.<\/li>\n
  2. a snub nose revolver.\u00a0 Like the #1 pick, this is to fill a hole in my collection.\u00a0 Thinking a S&W in either .38 or .357 just to keep control commonality\u00a0 with my Model13.<\/li>\n
  3. 12ga coach gun.\u00a0 There’s just something about a double barreled 12ga that hits my giggle button.\u00a0 And grabbing a shorter barreled one just hits it that much more.\u00a0 Of course, if I ever thought I could justify the cost, Chiappa’s Triple Threat would be awesome.\u00a0 If 2 barrels is good, 3 is better… right?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So… what do you think?\u00a0 Honestly, #3 was difficult to choose.\u00a0 I still need to get into black powder at some point, and a replica navy revolver kit would be damn nifty.\u00a0 As would one of those “build your own Kentucky rifle” kits.\u00a0 I think I’ve got the pocket gun bug out of my system… for a while… all those NAA Guardians make me giggle…\u00a0 There are other guns that I would happily take if handed to me (a Barrett .50cal, for example), but I tried to limit this to ones I could actually see buying.\u00a0 Anyways, this is just the top 3.\u00a0 Doesn’t mean that there aren’t more. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
