If you could have any Rifle what would it be?

SpannerMonkey

just wondering what would be your choice of Rifle if cost wasnt a concern, and why

Grizzly 45

AR15 style rifle in a 308 lower.Reason it is a modular rifle,which means it can be changed from a target varmit rifle in 308 to a ultrashort carbine, or 22lr pistol,or to a 50 cal single shot by swopping the uppers and stocks.All on one rifle lower.:D

rabbit Stew

lee enfield 303 no. 4 mark 1 T. Reason being it is a piece of history. The rifle evolved and was battle proven during 50 of the most turbulant years in modern history.
A classic.

Rovi

I've always had a hankering for an M1 Garand (in .30-06, of course).

An AR-15 variant of some sort is vaguely in the future for IPSC fun and games; and if it ever became reasonably attainable, a single shot .50BMG of some sort would have to be acquired, just for laughs and giggles.

I think an original M40A1 would be nice, An AR just for messing with and an original FN FAL.

patbundy

i would love to get the AI 96

N.O.I.P.

Beaten to the punch, I'd love to get my hands on one but I guess my airsoft one will have to do until I can afford the real deal

José Alaninho

Springfield M1A National Match... what a beauty... Or, failing that a DPMS Panther AR15 style rifle in .260 Remington.

And of course the ubiquitous Barrett M107 in .50cal for the sheer craic!:D

Nice to meet somebody with good taste:D

Has to be a Merkel 140 in .500 Nitro. I'd be loaded anyway so I'd need it fulfill my salivating dream of taking a Cape Buffalo.

That being a remote daydream I'll settle for a lovely wood stocked Browning Acera in .270 for when I finally get around to sorting out deer permissions. Local Super might frown a bit on the straightpull bolt but it's worth a try.

your a man after my own heart... fine rifle;)

Grizzly 45

Fierce handy rifles for stopping any rampant Tyrannosaurus Rex that might have survived the last few million years,or for stopping any Armoured Personel Carriers.:D Wonder how long it will be before some bright spark builds a pistol on one of these???:eek:

patrickdt10

heym sr21 or sr30. the most balanced rifles anywhere.

IRLConor

If money was no concern I'd test every combination of high quality match .22lr ISSF-legal barrel, action and stock until I found the one I shot best with.* The shiny-kit urge within me says that it would be something like a Bleiker barrel & action in a HPS System Gemini stock but who knows? Finding out would be half the fun!

* Of course, it would still be a waste of money since damn near all rifles of that type shoot better than I do.

Once you chop the total Bull SHT never in a million years shooting away from around the rifle in the film.It is a fine rifle.:)

I loves recoil, me.

In hunting terms, it'd probably be a Mauser M03. Was handling one in Birr last year and the feel of quality from it was exceptional. That said, the more rifles I handle and shoot, the more I love my Sako 75, so possibly just a battery of left-handed ones in the various calibres I want. The Mauser for its modular construction, feel, trigger and accuracy would be hard to beat though.

jwshooter

i have it ,a custom sako 75 , in 270 .

Cass

If cost (and licensing obviously) wasn't an issue i would love to have one of the new Cheytac M200 Intervention rifle in .408 cal. Justs looks the dogs b****x.

bazza888

id like an anschutz 1712 Silhouette Sporter with a nice scope on top maybe zeiss or swarovski that would be cool!

booom

rowa

personally i don't have any interest in modern military rifles , the old stuff interests me a bit alright , but i really love single shot rifles , when my ship comes in i'll buy something like these

dCorbus

+1 on the Cheytac M200 .408, just coz it's so goddamn cool TBH!:D


For day-to-day plinking and vermin control:D:rolleyes:, one would also like the LEI LM7 Sharpshooter (UK designation L129A1) 7.62x51 Semi-automatic, seen above.

For more serious target stuff, having drooled all over one of these on Saturday:

Bleiker free-rifle stock with bleiker action and general bleiker loveliness.....mmmmmm.....bleiker....mmmmmm.....drooooolllllll



And then, when the mood takes me (and my lotto cheque gets cashed), I wouldn't making some room in the gunsafe for one of these too:


A Keppeler in either .308 Palma or 6mm Norma. Why? Coz I'm worth it!!!!!!:D:D:rolleyes:

gunhappy_ie

money no object.....

Barrett M107 (with custom mods inc suppressor.)

Annumition €3 a shot (cheapist ive seen anyway)

Rifle €15-20K

Dragging CS through the court after youve built a range big enough for a .50..... Priceless :P:P:P:P

Kryten

Where do I start. It would have to be classics. On the semi auto front. The German FG42.

Original M1 Garand.

Boys .55 calibre "long range target rifle" , with a source of ammo loaded to the original spec.

An SMLE to go with my No4. A p14..... the list goes on.

As only A USMC Gunny can do it.Nasty and with style!:D

Kryten

As Gunny said, "They sell them in every gun store in America".

I moving !!!! :mad:

Great video though

Hibrion

Wouldn't mind a nice M1a for a semi. Now what are my chances in licensing that? :D:eek:

Grizzly 45

As good as anyones.It's a classic vintage rifle.And there folks here who can fill you in on the Vintage/classic rifle shooting scene.
Good calibre too for the predicted wid pig invasion that shall befall us any day:rolleyes:.Although 30.06 ammo might be pricey these days.

As Gunny said, "They sell them in every gun store in America".

Even Uncle Sam will sell you one! For anything between 100 to 400 USD.Cheaper than most gunstores,and more than likely an original.
Apply to,when you move.
