    Mine is a shotgun.

    Top of my list right now is an S prefix Ithaca 37 riot from Vietnam. I had one chance in the last few years to get one and even with an astronomical bid that I put on it I still lost it.

    Other than that….

    Stevens 520-30/620 trench gun
    Winchester 1894 spruce gun
    Remington 700 BDL in 223

    M16 RR with a belt-fed upper is about the only bucket list rifle I have left. The other common ones I either don't care about or have no place to shoot (such as the 50BMGs). There are some Israeli pistols I'd sorta like, but I would hesitate to call "bucket guns"

    The reality is that I have most of what I want. I really am spending my money these days ramping up my ability to reload fast so I can shoot more, and improving the guns I've got.

    Winchester Model 12 in 12 gauge.

    I have one in 16 gauge but would love a 12 ga.
    I feel like that's fairly attainable. I have a Model 12 in 12 gauge, and to my knowledge, they aren't that scarce. Finding one a decent price might be, but otherwise, they seem to be pretty common at gun shows.

    My list....

    Pre 1899 - Winchester Model 94, probably just 30-30
    Pre 1899 - Winchester Model 92, anything really - 44-40 would be pretty cool though

    Those two would round out my collection of Winchesters. I don't have all of them by any means, but those are the ones I'd want.

    Otherwise, I'd like a really nice precision, heavy barreled bolt gun in .308 - something built on a Remington 700 action - and with some really good glass like a Schmidt & Bender.

    My tastes in rifles are pretty simple.

    1918 BAR and a Thomson. I can't help it. WWII guns are just all sexy. It's like cars. Modern cars are waaaaaayyyy more practical and generally built to higher quality...but old ones are just sexy. It's the same with the guns from back in the day.

    That's an interesting one. I actually have a Bizon receiver ready to go whenever the parts arrive.
