Even though I don't have a .50 BMG, I'd have to say that 20mm is the one caliber most lacking from my collection. Perhaps a variation of a Solothurn that could shoot any of the rounds designed for the M61A1 would be the ticket. Or maybe a Barrett XM-109 but chambered for 20mm.

I want a .40 again. I had a Springfield P9, but it made me a blood donor every time I shot a magazine full. Hammer bite. So I traded it in on something else.

I want a nice custom Browning Hi-Power in .40. With a beavertail.

Best hunting rifle in the world, it'll kill anything with a heart beat.

Not totally sure I would trust one against an elephant. Definatly want to use a 'nitro' round. Not that I know much about elephant hunting, just that I would feel better with more 'punch'. (Thrusts per squeeze?)

Hey , me too! Damn CA making me purchase things before I'm ready.

[#31]

Somehow I have never owned a .22, guess I just sorta skipped over that stage. The next most needed caliber is 9mm.

I'm in on this one.

I am ashamed to say this........................
I do not have a .45acp or any 45 calibers.
I turned 44 last month and told my wife I want a .45 for my 45th birthday.
.45acp would be great, but I think I want a 45 LC more.

Posted: 1/15/2006 6:59:19 PM EDT

[#44]

I also badly need to replace my .375 H&H. A .50 bmg would be nice too.

Pistol-wise I would like another .357, a .40 SW and both a .45 acp 1911 and a .45 LC Single Action Army.

Those would fix me up nicely!

I need a 223. Probably an AR, since Mags are plentiful and PD's use them. 223 is a common round....

.308

this year I will have one

Posted: 1/15/2006 7:35:21 PM EDT

I was thinking .50BMG myself, but after that what is next?

A more expensive .50BMG and alot more ammo.
