A lot of good insight there hoot, thanks. A few responses for ya.

686 with the 6 inch barrel was chosen because its whats in the sales flyer for under $600 at the gun store back where I'll be taking leave at. I've been wanting a long barreled .357 for a while, and its a good deal on one. (Already have a snub nosed .357, trying not to get too many new calibers).

I also prefer the 1911, which is why one is my carry gun. However right now it is my only .45 ACP, so I was looking into it as a .45 for if my 1911 goes down, and because of the polymer pistols, I tend to like the look and feel of the xd the best.

Didn't know that about the Stampede. I already have an Uberti in .45 LC, want a SAA in .357 too, it was just the one I found the best deals on back home online, Uberti or Ruger are viable contenders for the right price.

My bolt actions right now are both Mil-surp WW2, and I'd like one in either of those calibers that I can set up with a scope and modify and beat up without the historian in me hating myself, I like Savages triggers, but a Rem 700 at the right price would also be an option.

Some of my friends have Condors, they shoot well enough, I like my Coach gun, but an O/U in my mind is more of a specialty shotgun, which is why it is probably last on my list two, a good pump or semi can do the same and more.

I have my HD shotgun needs covered by a coachgun and Mossy 500 persuader with 20" barrel. But my collection has been missing a blued and wood long barreled shotgun for general use, Rem or Mossberg, the eternal saga continues.

I have two lever actions (Marlin .30-30/Henry .22), I like the way they handle, I like the look, don't know if I'll do SASS, but I like cowboy guns. It just seems like it would be a handy rifle to keep around.

All my standard firearms needs are covered, and right now they don't get nearly the attention they need because they didn't come with me to my permanent duty station. Just setting up my collection for after my time in the service.
