Guns Top Many Holiday Wish Lists
By Dave Hurteau
From the Examiner:
In a November survey, the Consumer Reports Money and Shopping Blog . . . revealed a number of items new to the [poll] that gifts respondents said they’d be ‘thrilled’ to receive: boots, purses (designer, no doubt), pajamas and guns.
“It's a feeling of confidence, like having a shield,” Tony Orifici, a salesman at Dunedin's Florida Survivalist gun shop, told the St. Petersburg Times. “Grandpa wants a shotgun. Mom wants a revolver. ... We had a family come in and buy an AR-15, a shotgun and two handguns, one for each of them . . . .”
But unlike trendy toys and gadgets, there are no fashionable brands of armaments.
“It's like a candy store. You come in and decide what flavor you want,” one gun store manager told the Times. “You might like Fords. I might like Chevys.”
So, what flavor do you want?

870 12 ga
870 20ga
also an 870 12ga! and/or a good working O/U.
yrs-
Evan!
A cz bobwhite 20 ga. double, and a thompson center encore .45 cal muzzle loader please.
I'd love a Taurus Judge Magnum (short barrel) with a case of #1 Buckshot in 3" .410 shells to go with it.
I'd also love a Ruger Mini-14, or a good .22 rifle.
Hell, I'm not picky. I'll take what I can get. Santa, PLEASE!
I'd like a new pistol, such as a Glock 22 .40 cal or a Ruger MKIII .22
Remington 700 sps stainless in .300 win mag., Kimber .45, Benelli Super Nova Tatical, Benellli Legacy 12 ga., i could keep going but that list is pricey enough hahah
I guess it is not just folks in PA "Clinging to their guns and religion" Great news getting more folks involved in the shooting sports.
BTW Ruger Blackhawk 41 M Please
A Marlin Model 1895SBL.
New and old school come together for me in this one. It would look nice under my tree, nicer in the field.
St Nick might not think I was a good enough boy to get this, I could not argue with him on it, but I can dream.
Uberti/Remington New Army conversion in .45 long colt.
Uberti/Sharps deluxe buff rifle in .45/70.
Mini-14, 10/22, and a marlin 336 would be nice too.
I don't need anymore guns. But, I'd love to own my own land so I could use the ones I do own more often.
How about it Santa?
I've got the guns I "need" taken care of, but I'd sure be pleased if Santa brought me a nickel-plated S&W .357 magnum. A few boxes of ammo for my Sig .380 would be nice too.
P.S. When I told Santa what I really want for Christmas, he threatened to wash my mouth out with soap.
I'd like an AR-15, a mini 30, a couple of 1911's, a 12 ga. Vinci, a Judge 4" barrel with 3" cylinder, lots and lots of ammo for all plus lots of 9mm ammo.
Since this is a wishlist ... a Freedom Arms Model 83 Premier, .454 Casull, 4-3/4" barrel, adjustable sights (just like my old one); a Merkel 1620SL combo, English stock, 28" barrels, Briley-choked (so, I'm not a purist); and a JP Rifles CTR-02, .223 Wylde, 22" barrel, 1:8 twist, Duracoat OD Green, black Teflon coated barrel, black dissipator, OD Green Magpul PRS stock (I have a spare already).
I'd like a Remington 700 in .708
Nate
Kimber Custom 1911 and possibly a Benelli M4. If you are going to wish you had better wish big!
I could use a new scope for the .257 Weatherby Eastman's sent me, some dies and brass as well....really have a need for a Tikka T3 lite in 300 Win as well...and one of those Tarus Judge pistols look interesting....but as long as I'm day dreaming a M134 Mini-gun could be a great open field, running coyote gun...
a Remington 870 in 20 gauge.
44 mag super redhawk w/ scope, remington 1100 20ga, vanguard 7mm rem mag and ammo for all. thanks santa
Smith and Wesson makes a new gun that looks like an AR but shoots a .22 LR i havent looked into it too much because i just saw it in an add but im sure santas elves could come up with something!
Something from Les Baer would nice.
A Ruger 380 LCP to replace the one some scumbag sole from me last week. Never fired.
How 'bout replacing those guns I needed to liquidate after my employer decided to drastically downsize due to the depression (it is a recession when it affects others, a depression when it beats you down)
* M-1892 Winchester replica in .44 Mag along with Super Blackhawk companion sidearm, a perfect couple.
* Mini 14 with gray laminated stock.
* Super Single Six, .22 cal/.22 mag.
* M 12 Browning in 20GA, a real sweetheart.
* M- 9422 in .22 Win Mag. with rare gray laminated stock

May as well go big here! ;)
Purdey Best 12 GA, Merkel Drilling 16ga & 375 H&H

I'd like a Remington R-15 .223, an 870 20 gauge, Smith & Wesson performance center .44 Mag, and a Browning X-Bolt 300 Win Mag please.
Bought my son a H&R/NEF 20 gauge.
Correction:
an H&R/NEF
Another O/U would be nice perhaps a CZ in 20 ga. to complement my 28 Beretta. Also a CVA accura in-line ML in 50 caliber.
Marlin XL/S7 slug barrel for my 500C Remington 597 or Ruger 10/22 an AR-15 and a Remington 887
Idahooutdoors I'll be over as soon as you get the M134. Might be a bit of a struggle with WAM over who gets to be loader.
Any round body side by side in 16 or 20. Preferably 20. A Nice bolt .22 like the Remington 504, Kimber, or an Anschutz would rock my socks off too.
I'd like an M1 carbine, I've always wanted one...
