I would like to see them make a......

2muchgun, i misread the titanium part, other than that, browning and savage offer a guns with those features. thanks again for the attempt but u r wrong sir! lol that is all
 
Luke, it is a 100% serious question. Is there any reason, other than cost and it would flop, why you couldn't make a bigger, bottle neck case that is rimfire? I understand that the brass on rimfire cases is necessarily thinner than on centerfire cases, but are we at the maximum now for what is possible in a rimfire case with modern powders?

Ok, now I understand your question! I was misunderstanding thinking that you meant: why cant we make a .22 LR have the same performance?

Now I understand

Sorry to question you, just didnt understand your initial question.

I would say that the reasoning behind not having much outside of a .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HM2, .17 HMR, and 5mm Rem (and a few .22 WRFs) is that going much larger would probably detract from the niche market that a rimfire appeals to (meaning cost). I would assume that cost would be a bit high to sell such a cartridge that would not be reusable like any other centerfire.

Take look at this article from Chuck Hawks about larger rimfire calibers:
http://www.chuckhawks.com/history_rimfire_ammo.htm

I think the drawback that I could see along with cost would be a lower velocity as Mr Hawks suggests, and that in itself would be a large detractor for most shooters.

Here is the only one that I have seen that is a bit of an oddball for rimfire that is larger than most (25 Stevens)

I would like a 223 caliber automatic rifle that wasn't based on an AR or Mini-14 that was similiar to the older HK semi auto's, that doesnt cost $2000.00, that has a good trigger and will shoot under an inch group consistently. It has to be stainless synthetic and not weigh over 6 Lbs. They could base it on the old Winchester Model 100 semi automatics.
 
I have that old winchester 100 in a 243...going to see how she groups... if she's good... then to the woods she'll go...But I do wish she was wearing .223 clothing... only because she would be a cheaper date.

Yea I guess so.... there is someone up there near you that has a video on youtube with his dog fetching a coyote he shot on the ice. I seen it on here to begin with. Did a search on here and youtube and cant find the video. Crap.

Merry Christmas!

You too!

It would be amazing if someone figured out how to amp up a .22 LR though!
 
A rifle that shot a 75grain A-max from a necked down .308 casing.
call it, .220-08 and make it the nect target cartridge with a 1:7 twist.

Prolly has something to do with they prolly wouldnt chamber correctly is my best guess. cci stingers are a big step up from the typical 22 round though.

If you look at the PDF online catalogue, it has a synthetic regular stock available

Agreed about the Stingers. I havent seen them in quite some time in the Salt Lake area though. I havent seen those Hornady 22 WMRs yet, I'll have to look!

This is a .22-243Win and there are a bunch of other variants. Santa delivered one to me this morning.
 
Have accurate western style lever actions in varmit calibers. If Marlin can make a 45-70 shoot accurate in their guide guns, it should be a piece of cake with a 218 Bee or some 22 CF suited for a lever action.

BRING BACK THE 6MM REM. !

Offer the 220 Swift and 6mm Rem. in 24in.-26in. sporter weight barrels.

Bring back the Winchester model 61 pump in 22mag.
 
I would like to see some more semi auto rifle platforms as well.

Id like to see some more variation in barrel weights, can find sporter,ultra lights and mega heavies but not too many medium to a touch heavy.

Id really like to see them make a compact 1911, like the emp, but with a 3" barrel and a 5-6" barrel option, kind of like the p22, that was nice to be able to switch them back and forth, one as a kit gun, the other for target shooting.

and reintroduce some break top revolvers(that people can afford), I really liked the look and feel to those, classy and just plain cool
