I think it would be a Dick Bortmuss rifle and for a shotgun, don't really know but it would probably be a SxS.

Ok. Shotgun would be a Purdy 28ga side lock with 26" barrels, double triggers and imp cyl/mod choke's, no choke tubes please! Well that ain't ever gonna happen!

You can now get military surplus 1911's. I forgot the website, but they are available, but they don't guarantee the condition of the one you get. I want to get one in the worst way. The one I was issued in Field Med school was still in it's original crate in cosmoline packed in straw dated from the Korean War. I was so pissed when they took my 1911 and issued me the piece of shit Beretta 9mm.

A rigby and co. 275 rigby, but I'm having my own built at the moment for 1/10th the cost of a real rigby.

Maybe a double 9m3x74r in a heym, H&H or any of those. Im never going to have the money nor could i justify $20k on a rifle though.

My old Reminton 700 ADL in 30-06... It shot lights out was as ugly as a fencepost because of all of the hunts I had used it on.. worn blueing from being in my hand for so many hours.. I sold it to a friend when I had my brain cancer for cash to keep food in the house..

Kind of felt like betraying an old friend.. I went to my friend after my cancer had turned around and he had long sold it and it was gone.. Always wish I had it back...

Are you thinking of www.classicfirearms.com?

Since it is a dream gun - here it is:

I would start with some kind of 338 wildcat that will shoot a 300 gr Berger at 2750 fps out of a 16.5 inch barrel. It would have a 3.5” suppressor that reduced the recoil to that of a 223 and the report to that of a 22 lr. The scope would be 2.5-25x (since the rifle is brush gun length, I would need to be ready for those close shots). The whole package would weigh a hair under 6.5 pounds but it would hold as steady as a 15 pound PRS rifle.

Anyone know a smith capable of building this rifle?

New Ultra Light Arms in 260 rem, 6.5x47 lapua, or 6.5x55. One day....

Boarmaster · Jul 26, 2018

Barrett Fieldcraft 7mm08 with 21 inch barrel and Trap door magazine. They dont make and probably never will make a trap door mag but we are dreaming here right?
For right now I have pretty close to perfect for me in a Rem m700 xcrii 270win in a mcmillian edge classic stock with a timney trigger , VX3 3.5-10x40 scope.
I would find the same setup in 7mm08 with a 22 inch barrel to be about a dream rifle as well.

No one rifle in particular, just more of them. Like to try one of those Kimber Mtn Ascents.

I would have to agree with that, I have to many dream guns.

New Moose Rifle!

For my birthday and in celebration for drawing a Colorado bull moose tag, I bought my latest dream firearm, a Kimber Adirondack in 7mm-08. It wears the Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15x42 scope, and a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor. It's fun!

With the suppressor it is 44 3/4 inches, an inch shorter than my trusty Winchester 54. It could be shortened an inch and a half by removing the Omega anchor brake and using a direct thread mount, but I'll leave it as is so I can quickly move the can to other rifles. The Winchester is 86 years old and has been my elk rifle for 30 years. I figured it was time to modernize.

I would love to do a custom build, either by myself or through someone like Gunwerks. Probably chamber it in a classic like 300 win mag, or maybe something big like 338 lapua. Top it off with a Nightforce ATACR.

Dream gun... and if I could afford it you can bet I would use it on every hunt...
