What's on your must have list and why? For me it's another HiPower to replace on I foolishly sold and another Garand to burn up a large amount of Lake City surplus I plan to buy.
 
God has blessed me so richly with so much that there is no "must have" left. It's just degrees of want.

And for that you are a very lucky man.:D
I guess I don't have any "must haves" either, but those two I mentioned nag at me to no end.:D
 
A pre 64 winchester model 70.

If I can't find or afford one, which is very very likely, alternatively another proven good quality rifle with machined parts, a mauser action-cone breech,
fixed ejector and claw extractor.

Or a newer Winchester model 70 Classic.

Either in 30-06 or .308.
 
i'm with you on the BHP. A kimber 10mm eclipse is another. an ior valdada (35mm) 3.5-10 wouldn't hurt either.
 
probably the #1 item on my must have list is a new girlfriend lol the present one is driving me nutz.

i honestly dont need/want much stuff anymore, not material things,i suppose i am lucky, in that respect anyway.
 
A new computer. My present rig is increasingly unable to handle new games.

Some sort of cheap MP3 player. I only want it to listen to podcasts of my fave NPR shows while I'm on midnights over the Summer.
 
For me, it's a Springfield XD-45 tactical (:rolleyes: ) in bi-tone. (Why the heck do they HAVE to call the 5" barrel version "tactical"????) And I plan on stocking up on mags too.
 
I want a Springfield Armory Loaded parkerized 1911 and/or :D a Sig Sauer p229 .40 in two-tone or all black.

I also want custom mixed paint for my car.

Same here. I have just about every gun, knife, SAK, multitool and EDC gadget I could want. I don't really care about other toys.

I still covet, sure. I might like a BK-7; SIG 229 DAK .40 with blade-tech holster; Keltec P3AT; and a small classic Sebenza. For giggles, I'd also like to whip up one of those personal survivor kits in an altoid's tin.

And more time to read or to listen to books on CD, but that is for another thread. :)
 
I want a car that I can trust, but since I'm poor, that's not going to happen, so I'll continue to drive my POS '94 Ford Tempo.:(.

I just sold one! Shame I couldn't ship it down to you. I am buying my tanker garand with the proceeds though. :thumbup:
 
Armalite Super SASS
Barrett 82A1/M107
Kimber Tactical Custom II
Airkat TORK NVTR
And a Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab
 
A 'new' truck is getting to be critical, and since I need it for work it's considered a "must have". Looking for one similar to what I already have with the following criteria:
F150 or F250. (would consider comparable Chevy or GMC)
Model year 1994-2000 (to stay in target price range)
V8 (currently have a 302, but would prefer a 351 or newer Triton engine).
Split seats. (wife is 5'-nothing)
Supercab. (keep items locked in truck, and I sleep in back seat)
Manual transmission. (more control in 4WD conditions - or feels like it anyway)
Four Wheel Drive. (an absolute Must, or else I'll be walking)
Power windows.

The trouble is that most of the nice trucks tend to be automatics...

Toys on the "Wanted" list:
GPS: Garmin GPS76CSx
Motorcycle: Yamaha V-Star 1300
Firearm: Ruger revolver, perhaps a Bisley .45

That seems like a pretty good year for Fords. My Mark VIII was a '95. I sold it at 140,000 miles and my friends are still daily driving it. My F150 is a '94 with 180,000 miles. It needs enough work that it's probably cheaper to buy a different one, but if I were willing to spend a bit of $$ on it, I'm confident it has many more miles left. My '94 Cougar had 120,000 when I sold it a few years ago.
