Ruger M77 Mark II stainless with boat paddle stock in 223 or 222 or 22-250.

I ran across one once and passed on it, and now the prices have more than doubled.

I did get into a similar rifle, a M77 Mark II Ultra Light in 223. Having it soothes the bad memory of passing on the other…

Ruger #1 Stainless, black/grey laminate 7 STW. Had it over 20 years and we've made a lot of memories.

I don't have a need but...

Beretta 686 for trap and skeet. Currently use semi-autos, but would like the option for over/under.

Stainless model 70 in 375 H&H or Ruger, just in case I win a trip to Africa.

Ha @Deere_Man you beat me to my own post. Awesome choice of GG BTW.

I recently was able to get one of my grail guns. Opportunity presented itself, so I traded away some lesser used guns, and picked up the following:
Dan Wesson specialist 9mm. Have been carrying daily after proving it out over the last month. Can’t wait to put some miles on it!

Either a Dragunov or a TIGR. Ive owned every variant of the PSL but never the genuine article Dragunov. impractical, not super accurate; still my Unicorn.

Winchester 1885 in 6.5 Creedmoor with a custom threading job and thread protector that is impossible to see without looking closely. Gorgeous walnut is a must.
