If we are dreaming I would have a Shiloh

+ 1 for me on that one.

The chance to give up work forever so I can actually get out with my rifles.

American Resistance 'Elite Ops' chambered in .223 Wylde. Topped with a Sig Sauer ECHO3 X2-12 reflex thermal sight.

Or back down to reality would be a Carbonlight in 300 winmag with a Terminator brake and a Zeiss victory v8.

shite..we on page 3 and no body has asked for a S/S sythetic T3 in 7mm/8 or .243 yet........whats going on here folks???????

They're still queuing up for their Lattes after being let out of lockdown.

Hey @mimms2, I am sure Synthetic will tell you his reasons for hinged floorplate, but I'll give you mine as well.

I love them for 3 reasons.

1) not having a detachable mag sticking out the bottom makes a rifle much easier to carry (provided it is balanced). most modern rifles seem to have gone away from flush mount mags, probably to get higher capacity
2) easy to dump all the rounds without having to cycle them thru the action like with a blind mag
3) it is a timeless, classy design.

Since it’s a dream rifle, one off Captain Cooks ship.

Agree with a 275 rigby or maybe a modern left hand 303.

More realistically, a browning safari in 220 swift

I wish I had my AR10 back

P.S. there is a nice 257 Roberts that has been sitting at Wilsons in Whanganui for several years... it would make an interesting heavy varmint / light deer rifle for NZ.

Yes nice calibre. I have a Ruger No1 and a Dakota M10 in .257 Roberts.

Kreighoff Semprio in a range of calibres...(Its one of those that can change calibre very easily...) WHy have I not got one??? Price. For practical use I can buy two other rifles for the price of a barrel and still have change, let alone the whole rifle....

But I was able to handle one and they are a slick piece of gear.

I got a couple on my wish list, a Rigby classic in .275
And a nice double in .375 H&H flanged.

Just the fear of losing magazine, especially if out for a long trip.
