Have had my dream gun for a few years Beretta DT-11 Black no need or want anything else.

 

I've had dinner in the same restaurant at the same time as Marvin Zinler in the Galleria/Houston. He always had on his signature white suit to match his white hair. Slime in the ice machine was his go to news story. the old to famous chicken ranch.

 

Cosmi 12 or 20

A Dickson SxS, or DMB for that matter, often have a strength and designed purpose coupled with style and beauty that takes one's breath away.

This question has been asked before on many message boards and I am glad that is so but in rethinking ....my dream scattergun might well be a plain American boxlock or pump or whatever of no great repute or grade, with worn or gone bluing, covered in scratched memories of mistakes, successes and Life and....owned by my Father.

That would be a true dream tho as my Father was not a Birdhunter, only just barely hunted in fact.....the gun does not exist.
Still, one can indeed dream.
And, there you have it.

....with a Woodward grip.

Reasoning?....reasoning too often spoils a dream.

 

Clays K80.
Birds K20.
I have both so I’m living the dream.

One thing I like about K guns is they are like AR15’s. Easy to swap out barrels, receivers or stocks. No one cares if it’s original.

Do that with a Perazzi and it looses value. And Perazzi people stroke out.

But they are heavy guns. No two ways about it.

 

Dreams do come through lol

 

How about a Fracassi-engraved F.lli Rizzini R1? It quite literally doesn't get any better than that.

 

This is glorious.

 

SO10 in 28ga with 32" barrels, amazing wood, with 20ga grip and forearm

 

boy you guys have small dreams. If I'm dreaming, I dream big. All the guns you listed are cheap guns.

Had a Sporter made last year. They did stunning work. It’s like flying a high performance jet… an extension of yourself rather than fighting or otherwise dealing with any shortcomings.

 

My dream gun will be a Semi-Auto, drank the O/U, S/S kool-aid, just did not care for it. To me, the looks of a gun is secondary to how well I shoot it. My dream gun will be the one I finally shoot 100/100 with, that will make it a dream gun, be it plastic, wood, blued, coated, or whatever. I am still looking for it ❗

SXS or O/U that fits like a glove.

 

my dream gun is more about the process of making it than it is the actual gun. A fitting that includes multiple stock designs in multiple weights to get close and then a shave/shoot process that lasts as long as needed. Like the perazzi process shown in many videos but instead of shooting a plate inside after each tweak i'd get to go outside and shoot a variety of targets.

The dream bird gun is probably an mx28 choked ic/im 31" bbls, uk sporter style stock with slight palm and weight in the 6.5 - 6.75 range with the fairly modest lusso engraving and smoky caramel sc2 wood. Solid ribs. Definitely more interested in nice wood than gaudy engraving. Oh and a set of 410 barrels to go with it.

 

Too old for dreams gun I am awful happy with my SP1 with an adjustable comb. My dream is to shoot it more and shoot it better.

 

Seitz O/U, 32", Titanium, Wilkinson Tubes. Should have it my hands very soon. Will go well with my Seitz mono. Triggers are amazing. Will outlast me and the next 5 owners.

For me something in just the next tier to what I have like a 687 EELL Diamond or Rizzini Regal. Nothing insanely, crazy.

 

Holland and Holland Royal Ejector. Why not a matched pair? With a fitted trunk gun case sized to fit in my Ferrari.

 

For a SxS I'd have to also say the H&H Royal, besides the exceptional workmanship, simply the best engraving pattern out there for me. Purdy, Boss and others with their traditional rose and scroll leaves me cold, but the traditional Royal pattern (and there are variations, all bold and excellent) evokes something that tickles my fancy. Since I doubt I'll ever own one I did end up with a substitute, a Lovena from Prague, but made in Belgium instead of Chech

For an O/U I'd probably go with an exhibition Browning Superposed, preferably engraved by Vrancken who I think was their best. Will probably never get one of those either but very happy with the Diana Grade I have and engraved by Claude Baerten, Jose's brother and head engraver in the 70's. Claude did work on some of their Exhibition guns, and I think his talent is even better than his more famous sibling

All in all pretty lucky

 

I love my Blaser F3 but would certainly like a Bonsi for some bling.

 

Gentlemen,
My dream gun would be a #5 L.C. Smith 20 gauge in pristine condition with the correct measurement to fit me perfectly, with incredible French Walnut Wood, DT, choked IC/M and 28" Krupp barrels with extractors, Ivory Sight Beads and Matching French Walnut Hand Checkered Butt Plate.

Not much chance of ever purchasing my dream gun, Hunter Arms only made a few (21) of them. None were made post 1913. I have only held one in my hands during my life time, in the late 50's. At that time I did not have the money to purchase, and the owner would not sell the #5 20 gauge at any price, she prized the gun over all her other guns.

all the best,

This, because I already have my dream shotgun 😉

 

If I am going to dream big, it would be a matched pair of Fabbris

and right behind that would be a Hoenig 28 gauge

This is actually the 20 version, but best pic I could find
