I'm always trying to save for another rifle. Would love to have a DTA Bullpup. Have a blueprinted M700 in 6.5 CM that's a tack driver. But the one rifle that I would head to the bank and borrow money to buy is the TKIV-85. Not a new, hot round or action but I think they are cool.

I won't every get the opportunity I don't believe. But if they ever hit the market, I'm there.

I agree on the DTA. If I had the money I would definitely pick one up. I also get barrels and bolts for just about every caliber .338 and below. That would be so much fun!

Edit 2013-12-19:

The other awesome rifle would be a custom built Fulton Armory M1A Rear-Lug Scout rifle (18") chambered and barreled in .260 Remington. That would so make my day!

At this point it would be a dta. Barrels can be changed easily and you can get them in a variety of flavors. I would think about a psr but I dont think I would like the heft of one. If I could ever swing one, I would give whatever for a mini gun but that will never happen so I'll stick with the dta.
 
Family legend has it that one of my ancestors crossed the Delaware with General Washington and, given that he was for-sure in the militia from Bucks County PA (lived 15-20 miles from Washington's Crossing), that's a credible story in the absence of a definitive list of men who made the crossing. One of my cousins has my ancestor's musket and I'd give every gun I own, my truck, and quite possibly my left 'nad to have it.
 
Back to reality. I'm thinking my next big purchase will either be a DTA HTI .50 and get the .375 Cheytac barrel later, or other way around. I also really like the AIAX in .50 cal, or if they came out with a .375 cheytac it would be all over.
 
I would have to say an AIAX in a .338 lapua with a Nightforce Beast even though I don't really have a spot to truly use that setup to it's full potential.
 
I think being able to pull the trigger on 338 would be great. The down side, in all probability it would put me in a wheel chair. The plus side, I just pick up an AE MKII in 308 from the guys at Mile High since they had then on sale. At some point in time I want to rebarrel it in either 6CM or 6.5X47 with a Mark Chanlynn barrel.

If I were to pick one rifle to spend a boat load on it would be a legit M40A1. The costs are so high to get even the USO let alone a functioning working Unertl, the rifle it's self is right in line with many customs but 3-4 k for a scope just puts it out of my reach. The second rifle would have to be the DTA who can argue about so many different options of calibers and using only one scope?

AI PSR or a spec built M40A1 for nostalgia's sake. Big Joe was nice enough to let me finger his PSR, all nice and deep-like this morning. It's a hefty rifle, but to me, it's a work of art.
 
My first one was an AI/MKII, love that rifle and just got a 6.5 CM barrel for it. It ain't going anywhere. My next rifle will either be an AX or hopefully an AI PSR. Either way I intend increase my AI collection of rifles. Had the fortunate opportunity to shoot and use several high end rifles through work and imho AI tops them all for several reasons. Opinions vary of course.
 
Pulled all the stops for this 338LM - my first full custom build...

I think my next "all stops" build would be a suppressed GAP-10 in 6creed if I ever come into some real money again.
