I've always wanted one of these. 

I want one of these Ruger .44 magnum carbines.  the Deerslayer.
looks like a 10/22, but much more fun!   

Remington 1875 .44-40 WCF

.45/70 Lever Action

German semi-automatic rifle that is the civilian model of the G3. Configured as a pseudo-G3K. It uses an HK 93 handguard because of the shorter barrel but to maintain a non-SBR length, an extended flash hider is pinned on.

That reminds me of my dad. As a kid he did some yard work for a widowed lady on the mainland. She didn't have money to pay him, so she said he could have whatever he wanted in her house. He chose a German Luger that was her husband's. Later my dad had his brother hold it while he was in the Marines. After he got out, the Luger was gone. I think my uncle sold it or something.
I would have loved to have that in my collection.

Yeah, but that rifle enabled me to have my reloading room and computer room.
So I don't regret it.

Your story reminds me of my dad. My dad kept guns in his house without a safe. And he kept his most prized guns in the trunk of his car. This included the nicest Luger I have ever seen. All numbers matching and dated 1918. I remember fondly shooting it and realizing how ergonomic and well balanced it was. Especially compared to the semi auto 9mm my father bought for self defense. Anyway, one day he called me and told me someone stole all his guns out if his car. This included a High Standard .22 Target Gun, A Belgium High Power, the Luger and a couple of others. The bad thing is I think the perps got his address from the registration in his car because just a couple of weeks later someone broke into his house and stole his coin and paper money collection. They left the remaining guns in the house for whatever reason.

The precursor to the Taurus Judge and S&W Governor, this large snub-nosed revolver is chambered in .45 LC and .410. It is one of the few revolvers to feature an external flip safety. A special cylinder was made to allow the use of .45-70 Govt which was meant to circumvent a California law that banned shotgun shell shooting revolvers.

Not elaborate, but I always wanted a Winchester Model 94 with octagon barrel.

My aunty had one that she was going to give to me.  I think it was a 30-30.  We visited her in VA when I was like 12, but my mom said no. . . 

Uberti Sharps 1874 Long Range with 34" barrel, fitted with Vernier sight. 

Quigley's Down Under used a similar Shiloh Sharps 1874 Long Range rifle with a 34" barrel. The barrel is 4" longer than the standard 30" barrel. The differences between the two are in the sight windage adjustment which is at the base on the Uberti while it is on the slider of the Shiloh's sight. The Shiloh has a patch box in the stock which the Uberti does not, and the Shiloh has the curved military butt plate compared to the Uberti's straighter shotgun butt.

It is hard not to love the color and depth of the bluing on a Colt.
