Re: The #1 gun to make again
I would like to see Ruger bring back the original Vaquero in several different barrel lengths including the 3 1/2" Sheriff's model and several calibers. I would also like to see a quality Mdl. 94 come back without all the lawyer attachments and I would love to see a Greener type Coach gun with working hammers and 20" barrels made again by a quality U.S. manufacturer.
All it takes for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Re: The #1 gun to make again
I agree with most all of you guys.
Deffinately, they should also make a Ruger #3 in, say 357 max or 35 Rem.
I agree with AJMD on the Ruger 96 series.
There are plenty that I wish they still made that would probably be usesless to most of us, but just cool for that sake of having one. (Such as a REAL Browning BAR in 30-06. I mean the original 1919 design that was full-auto, not the current semi-auto version that is completely different.)![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

One can still buy new Hepburn actions, and I've thought about it.Ray Newman wrote:KWK: how 'bout a #5 with a side lever or a Hepburn (AKA Heartburn) in .30-40?
Last month I read through Marcot's new book on Remington sporter rolling blocks. Oh, my! I'd never seen a good picture of a No.5 in good condition. Wow! What a beauty!
I'm having Lone Star build up a BP roller but am still working on some of the details. I talked with him about the side levers. They look nice and add extraction force, but he said they are a press fit. His wife's has never been apart!
I should have limited my response to a levergun. In that case, a thin side 1881 in .32-40 would be my desire. A 99 in .250 is my second choice in this department.

Re: The #1 gun to make again
How about an aluminum framed '66? If they can make one in silver, they can also make it in aluminum. Of course, this wouldn't be an "again" build.
