    Yeah... I'm budgeting. I allow small things. Looking for an AR receiver and going to dress up one of my existing M4gerys. Doing it piece by piece so I can save the $$$ for the truck.

    I've been making good prorgress on that. So far I've got 3 Springfields, 1 H&R, and I just picked up a woodless Winchester from the CMP. I'm getting that rebarreled to .308 with a kit I got from Sarco. It is going to be tougher to get the last manufacturer though. International Harvesters are harder to find and fetch a premium, and I'd probably have to spend $1200 to get one. Then there are the Italian guns and the US commercial stuff if you want to mess with that too.

    -Build AR-15 on stripped lower. Thinking a 20" barreled flattop.
    -Have Romy G kit finally built.
    -Sig 556 Classic.
    -.44 Magnum. Either Ruger Super Blackhawk or Redhawk, haven't decided yet. Might end up with both eventually.
    -Glock 17, actually thinking of getting one of those police trade-in Glock 22s and converting it into a 9mm with Glock 17 slide and barrel from Lone Wolf Distributors.
    -Glock 20

    That's my short list on things I want to get in the next couple of years or so. Things I'm actually shooting for (pun intended ).

    A fantasy weapon that I could afford would be an FNH F2000. I find it sick that the real deal F2000 runs about $1500 but the ATF approved constitutionally not needed FS2000 is well over $2000!!!!

    That said, more fun to think about the weapon that I cannot afford but would love to have, an A10 Warthog!!!!!!

    It shoots just like an AK except it's heavier and the belt has to be held at the proper angle to keep it from jamming.

    And because of the way the trigger is actuated, it can't even be bump-fired.

    It DOES look really cool however...

    My list really is short:
    Remington 700 BDL 8MM Magnum
    Lakelander 6.5X55
    Baer longslide match pistol in 10MM

    Chances of getting any of them are slim, slight, nil and none.

    I'm with you on #7.
    I've looked at those for a long time.
    But the wallet keeps laughing at me.
    . I didn't even notice that when I typed that! Fate indeed!!! I always liked the number 13 for some reason, it being a "prime" number always sounded cool. Don't one of the asian countries think 13 is a lucky number? In total agreement of wallet/checking account laughing at us.

    Sig 556 classic, I've been looking at them for 2 years now but can't quite make myself buy one.
    Another S&W revolver such as a 686
    Some body armor
    gen 3 or better night vision

    Funny you mention Night Vision!

    A couple nights ago, my wife and I were outside sitting by the outdoor fireplace.
    We could hear a pack of coyotes howling out in our fields.
    They sounded like they were only maybe 100 meters or so away.
    But it was dark as hell and we couldn't see a damned thing out there.

    My wife turns and looks at me and says...

    "Some damned army man you are!"
    "You've got all this crap all over the place, but you can't even see what's going on out on our own property."
    "You probably didn't retire at all."
    "The army probably KICKED YOU OUT."

    My goal is to build a classic looking AR. I have priced the parts and will buy the lower when I get home in a couple of weeks. I plan to buy the upper in the Christmas timeframe and build it from there. I am actually kind of excited about it.

    RWJoe, it is good to see you back. You actually are the reason for one of my gun desires. I would love to get a SIG Pro 2209, like the one you were selling awhile back. I living in California made purchasing it difficult then and now I have a Glock, but I still think about that SIG.

    Do you know anybody with an Atlas bi-pod?
    I've been eye ballin' those for a while.

    Also, I have the illuminated IOR (FFP) and it's really cool.
    It was a toss up for me between Nightforce and IOR.

    Atlas, yes. Friend at the range has one. Will be buying one someday. They have one with a 17S base. LaRue makes a mount for it...

    How do you like the IOR? I'm currently "stuck" on NF. Am saving to get the NF 1-4x24 with FC2 reticule for a rifle I am close to building...
