What rifle do you want irrationally?

#1

Post by 74novaman »

Something you either have or want that you don't really have a practical use or need for, but would love to own/love owning?

For some reason I have this weird desire to own an AR-180b.

I know they're kind of rare, parts availability/customization options are practically non existent...

But I'd love to own one.

What's your irrational rifle?

One of those irrationally priced long-range things.

Chas.
I like your choice. Also the Creedmore version.

My other choices:
A Marlin 1895 45-70
A .375 H&H
A .50 cal. Barrett
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Well I was going to say a Barret .50, but if you're going to put a price limit on it, then I guess one of these: http://bondarms.com/bond-arms-guns/bond-ranger" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in .410/.45LC.

Another one that'd be fun is a Romanian aes-10b.

What good is a semi auto RPK? I don't know, but I want one. :biggrinjester:
