What gun did you want that was never made ?

[Rosebud]

I put fingernail polish on all screws.It worked for 3500 shots on my 416 rem mag .I put it on those big screws .They make a one piece mount that bridges both scope dovetails. I HAVE shot 1.5 inch groups at 300 yards with mine with a 6x18 power scope and Hornady match 75 gr boat tails and r15 or w 748 .That target model is awesome .

Put blue locktite on mine, it still vibrated loose. Scope mounts, rings, everything came loose. thing was just to weird. Ended up sold, like so many other toys I've owned.

It's weird my old mini 14 the rings don't come loose .The target model the rings don't come loose but I have two tactical ones they came loose so I put extra clear fingernail polish and it quit coming loose .I do want to try the attachment rail .

A Ruger Super Redhawk with a traditional barrel.....not that abomination they have now. What were they thinking to put their name in the ugliest thing ever?

I think that was for strength to hold the barrel better .I have two ruger 454 and they need that ugly part .I wish they had put a underlug for less muzzle rise on the 454 .I can't shoot my 454 but 60 times with full 300 grain loads.

I agree that would be a great cartridge in that little miniature... Wby MkV action. After tipping over a boatload of Yokes and Chucks with the .22-250 I decided I like to hunt Deer with it at a little longer range with more energy, so... I re-barreled it (26") with the same contour as the original, for the 6XC, besides, I still have my Varmnitmaster .224 Wby Mag for the aforementioned. The Wby Varmnitmaster, now in 6XC is a great little walking Deer rifle and extremely accurate. If you ever find one of the Wby Varmnitmasters in .22-250 your build would be a hoot, good luck. Cheers

PS: Yes.. the original barrel can be slapped back on, it still has a lot of life left.

The old Weatherby rifles has the best wood .I can't stand cheap plastic stocks .

 

[257WHBY13]

Ruger # 1 - 318 Westley Richards or 333 Jeffery

I had one of the 22mag guns many years ago. It blew up in my face on the second shot. Factory ammo. I sent it back to Ruger with my compliments. As they were. Think I paid around 300 for it new. Great idea. Bad implementation.

They should have recalled those 1022 in 22 mag they were not built to handle 22 win mag .

 

[dgr416]

They broke alot and ruger almost recalled them in 22 mag .They use to replace it with your choice of gun .

That marlin 1894 weighed almost 8 pounds it would have been awesome at 6 pounds. I think that's why I didn't keep it but wish I had now worth 5 times as much as I sold mine for .

I forgot about this one they never released it though ruger made a few semiautomatic 357 maximum rifles. I THINK IT was made on the 44 receiver or something similar. THEY didn't make but about 2 of them .

Wouldn't mind ONE BIT if weatherby offered their plain vanilla vanguard in .340 weatherby…

Also in the 7mm Weatherby mag with an 8 twist, 26" barrel

I agree, all but one of my Weatherbys over the years were wood the exception was a .257 Wby Mag Accumark.
The .224 Wby Mag and the .22-250 Rem Varmnitmasters were purchased at the same time and I asked Weatherby to do a hand-select for me, to get the stocks as close as possible, back then they'd do that for an extra fee of $50. I think the least impressive stock I received from Weatherby was their Lazer Mk V. also in .257 Wbty Mag.

Lots of Rifles and Calibers in Left Hand we South Paws got left out on and continue to be left out lol especially Winchester M70's

 

[264WM]

A 6.5 mm rifle that would shoot a 160gr VLD over 5000 fps.

I had to think about this for a little bit……there's just not a lot of firearms that I feel like I've wanted but missed out on or didn't even exist.

But in the vein of the thread…..I have one.

A New Haven Model 70 Winchester African….. in Stainless Steel, quality synthetic stock, chambered in .458 Lott.

The cartridge Winchester should have offered in stead of the .458 WM! memtb
