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.

I agree with most all of you guys. 8)
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.) :D

One can still buy new Hepburn actions, and I've thought about it.

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.

Not in the exactly in the make again category but Ruger #3 in .30-30, .32-40 and .38-55.

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.
