Most of mine are probably pipe dreams, but here’s my wish list:

1. Vortex releases a 1-8 LPVO to compete with the ATACR 1-8.

2. Vortex releases a Razor Gen III line that has an optional built-in HUD like the REVIC scopes and links to Kestrel/AB.

3. Accuracy International releases .223 conversion.

4. Accuracy International releases an AXSR in SA calibers from the factory. Not a SA AXSR, just an AXSR that I can purchase from the factory in a SA caliber instead of having to buy 300 WM, 300NM, etc. first.
 
Due to the greatly discounted Leica LRF Binos. I think Leica will release a bluetooth LRF Bino

#3 isnt going to happen from AI, but @trophyhunter will have it.
#4 isnt going to happen from AI either. If they do offer any SA calibers from the factory it will be in a SA AXSR. We haven't seen discounted SA AX's yet (like they did with the AXMC), so I think this is still a couple years out. Hell, AXSRs aren't even available yet, just the ASR kits.

I'll piggy back on AI... I wish they would make a competition style chassis where the barreled action sits lower in the system and has some comp specific features like full length arca and a barricade stop built in.

Better yet, I wish MDT would make their ACC for the AI barreled actions.

MDT to re-release the greatest precision rifle chassis ever made - the JAE-700. More precision .22 action options, with a R700 footprint.

Personally, there's nothing I'm really left with wanting. Lot's of great options available these days across the board for precision rifle gear.
 
A close -ish copy of the Anschutz 1727 Fortner biathlon action, but the action also being "the chassis", so AR furniture could be hung off of it, and made specifically for the 6mmBR - taking 10 round mags.

There I just made someone else a millionaire!

Less expensive scopes with close focus and all .2 mil reticles.

Your collective wishes are our commands. You can always request inlets and different things that we don't offer by following this link and letting us know!

Ps. I like what @samb300 is doing too! Keep up the good work buddy.

I’d been told from a good source that Leica was going that direction I’m excited even if it carries the big price tag. Would be ideal if they made a 12x but seems unlikely based on what they currently make.
 
I am about done holding my breath for a Vortex Razor AMG 3-18. The Burris XTRIII 3.3-18 when they field the illuminated version is likely going to fill that void. Be nice to see the AMG 3-18 show up and be ready for purchase, but I doubt that will happen.

Based on the feedback from @samb300, AI knows what they build (which is not a competition rifle) and they have next to zero interest in deviating from it.
 
Vortex 6-36 Razor..
MDT JAE-700LA.
MDT 10rnd 300PRC Magazine.
XFR brass analyzer to show alloy composition, thickness and measurements to key datum lines....and be less than $10k
Optical rifle level with blue tooth connection to a shock collar so I'll keep the rifle level.
12 inch Sister Mary Margeret Ruler that slaps my hand when I slap the trigger.
Size 15 boot that hits me square in the rectal hole when I line up non-square to my rifle and pull the trigger.

That's about all I needs next year.
 
AI actually selling the new mlok rail with arca built in would be nice.

I'm thinking an automated tripod with integrated LRF and ballistics so I can kick back and barbeque at matches.

Haven't you seen all the Arken threads?? ;)


Arken?
Wut dat?

Looks like a nice scope, except for the upper half of the reticle.
The shilling has been over the top though.

Been checking the threads every day, but the new posts are tapering off
 
2020 in general... no more MIL vs MOA threads! That is my only wish.
Yea me too.......Did we ever decide which one was better :unsure: ......LOL

All I want is some Hornady factory ammo loaded with their new A-Tips. My reloading shed has turned into a storage shed and it doesn't look like its getting straightened out anytime soon.

LOL, yeah. "The one that isn't metric and shit".

Oh you gotta clean that out or have a yardsale/giveaway. Can't have your reloading space encroached upon!

I'll fix it for you:

Affordable brass not made by Hornady.

Forgot about the hand turned megabuck brass - the idea of that stuff gives my old ass the money sweats, I think I’ll mix some pappy 23 yo with coke , so I can chug it while I’m being poor!
 
A 3-18 AMG with a decent thicker FFP reticle for hunting. Think along the lines of the Mil-R, MR2. I would buy 3 of them. As long as the FOV is on par with the ZP5 3-15 and 3-20 US. And NOT over $2500. I'll keep dreaming though...

Pappy Van Winkle 23yr != poor....and why you mixing it with Coke? I sip that stuff like it's the last bottle and savor it until the last drop.
