An over built Marlin 1895 style rifle in 45-90, and one in 50-90.

You're beginning to ramble and lose my attention. But tell you what, why don't you take your insight and firearms design expertise and contact Uberti and make them aware of their errors in chambering their 1873 in .44 Magnum...and .357 Magnum too since their SAAMI chamber pressures are pretty much the same, and please get back to us with their response. I'm sure they'll be quite grateful to you for pointing their oversight. View Quote Thanks for the snark. I'm sorry you're having trouble following my position and reasoning. If you're going to dismiss the arguments of anyone who is not a not a firearms engineer, then we should all feel free to do the same to the bulk of your points, and the only point anyone has made worth considering is 'Uberti makes it, and they probably know better than the rest of us', right? Lots of companies that know their stuff far better than I do have nonetheless have still made mistakes (including chambering firearms for rounds that turn out to be too much for the firearm to handle long term), so I don't find that reasoning absolutely convincing, but I do find it far more compelling than the arguments 'because, modern technology' and 'Model T Fords used tires, modern race cars use tires, so a Winchester 73 with modern metallurgy can handle .44Magnum fine'. |

Like I said if you're really concerned contact Uberti. Granted it won't get you attention on a public forum, but you'll be doing a good deed for all us less informed folks.

After a lot of thought, I've come up with my dream carbine. How about a Winchester 1892 (clone or real) with a slightly larger diameter barrel that's an integral silencer / barrel much like the ones you see for the Ruger 10/22s. I'd really like to own one of those as the lines would be largely unchanged, there wouldn't be that big ugly can at the muzzle, and the whole package would look and sound like it was made to be that way.
If they offered one in 38/257, 38/40, 44spl/44mag, 44-40, and/or 45colt I'd buy one of each in a heartbeat. Who cares about sub sonic? I'd still load them up with full power loads but the reduction in blast would be divine. |

Plain and simple - revival of the Savage .30-06, and the money to buy it!
I like the power of that great cartridge, and (from what I hear) the ruggedness of that great Savage, with a magazine that allows for the pointed rounds. |
|
Sadly, it's not a lever gun. I saw a video of a neat little slide action carbine in .500 S&W in a thread in this forum...I think it was a prototype.
I'd love to have one like that. |

16.5 inch barreled lever guns in:
9mm +P+ rated 45acp 10mm They would be so fun and inexpensive to shoot. |

Quoted: Do you mean the Savage 99? I heard they built a prototype or two for long-action cartridges just before they stopped production, but never actually produced it in .30-06. I also would like to see production of the model 99 begin again. However, the .300 Savage and .308 chamberings are hard to beat, and with chamberings like that, you can do almost everything that the '06 would do, short of the heaviest bullets. If you need an '06, there is still a good option for that: http://762precision.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/35-whelen-1895-browning-fall-tundra.jpg?w=1000 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Plain and simple - revival of the Savage .30-06, and the money to buy it!

I prefer the looks and operation of action on the 88 but the 99 has a slightly lighter trigger. Both wear scopes, the Savage with a 60's era Weaver steel tube V7 II 2.5-7x40 it came with and the Winchester with a new Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 I installed. The slightly lower powered 300 Savage is a nice soft shooter but neither rifle has an uncomfortable recoil. |

While I have a couple leverguns in 45 Colt, both are Ubertis so I'm limited to 14K psi level loads. Till now, I never saw the appeal of a levergun in 45acp, however, after giving my custom Glock G21L a dose of 45 Super, I'm wondering how much more velocity a 20" levergun barrel shooting a heavy dose of 45 Super would make. Just think how many rounds you could carry. Doing the math, it looks like 12+1 in the carbine and 16+1 in a 24" rifle.

I really wish Marlin would have produced the 1895RL (.475 Linebaugh) that they announced but never actually made.
|
|
Did anyone say a Marlin in .500 S&W yet? That would be cool.

View Quote I shot in several International Comps with that gun model. I don't know how many thousands of BB's I shot out of them in 4 years. |

Guide gun in 460S&W Magnum....to go with my 460 revolver.... When dinosaurs roam again, I will be set.

Mildly boring as a "dream gun" perhaps, but an 1873 carbine in .45Colt. Nickel plated receiver & barrel with nice scrollwork on the receiver. Round, 16" barrel for lightness.
I have 92's in .357, .44, and .454/45LC, but I have no 73's at all and the one 45LC levergun that I do have is a .454 version with full-length 20" barrel and is a little heavy. I have a lightweight single-shot in .45LC with nice wood and really like it; so I figure a lightweight, short-action carbine in .45LC with fancy engraving on nickel plate would just be a hoot to a levergun-loving old fart like me... |

View Quote They never had a production 30-06 model 99. That said I would love to see Savage bring the model 99 back. It would most likely be very expensive to produce and in turn purchase. This would be my dream lever gun. A modernized model 99, chambered in the normal short action cartridges such as .308 and 7mm-08, but also in some of the newer ones like .243,.260 rem, 6.5 creedmoor, .223 would be cool too. A varmint model would be neat with a heavy barrel in .22-250. I would even be interested in a lightweight model with a good synthetic stock. |

Iv Been trying to find a .357 16in Round Barrel with color case hardened finish with loading gate. I pretty sure Taylor's makes what I want but I can never find it.
ETA: Would love the gun in a take down |

I want a Russian Winchester 1895 in 7.62x54r. I don't want it badly enough to spend what I'd need to spend though.

Hmmm....
How any modern Winchester stamped "Made in USA"!!! Without a ridiculous safety or any other abomination devised by corporate city slickers. I'd love to have an American made lever gun that looks vintage, such as a Winchester 1873, but shooting .50 Beowulf . (I already have a Beowulf so I have ammo on hand, plus the ammo is extremely affordable compared to "mainstream" calibers with similar ballistic capability. |
