Guns that never should have been discontinued

[rep308]

Ruger Deerfield (gen2), mag fed 44 mag rifle. Sold mine, grrr....

 

[alcestwo]

I know OP said modern guns. I can't add anything about handguns or modern platforms but I do miss the Savage model 99.

 

[nordic alien]

walther p5 had one wish i never traded it but i did get a nice early browning hi power with 5 hi cap mags for it

 

[Sparkey]

Marlin Camp 9 and Ruger 44 mag carbine

 

[Caveman]

One more vote for the P7 and the cz 527 in x39.

Marlin Camp 9 and Ruger 44 mag carbine

Have the ruger 44 carbine

I'd give my eye teeth for a marlin camp.....but I'd get the camp 45.....cuz 1911 mags.

I've been saying as soon as ruger releases its pcc in 45acp I'm buying.....I highly doubt they will take 1911 mags though.

Ok, not modern I know but the Savage Model 1907 pistol. I’ve mentioned it in another thread. I just love the ergonomics.

Pencil barrels, half-dime sights and round butts on Smith & Wesson revolvers too.

 

[Blackmore]

An acquired taste but I always had a soft spot for the Ruger #3

 

[hillman]

Ruger SR9c. Good inexpensive compact pistol, no reason to replace it with the security 9 or Ruger American Pistol garbage.

S&W 1006/1026

 

[Picton]

…not “discontinued,” per se, and Brownell’s has had newer versions available periodically. But the AR180 deserved better and there should be a lot more of them.

 

[bigbravehog]

Savage Model E lever action rifle. My first and favorite hunting rifle

 

[Mountain]

+1 for the AR-180.

My input is all the Sig P220 variants that have been shelved. Specifically, P220 Compact for me. If you are a 45 fan and want to IWB carry it is a very nice option. Despite being compact, having a little heft from the steel frame plus a trigger that is light years better than any striker fired makes it a great shooter.

 

[JRT]

The Ruger 77 series bolt guns, they were really nice for the money. Specifically the 77/17.

 

[tuna]

Savage 24.

Especially in their chamberings other than .22/.410

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

S&W 547
9mm revolver without moon clips. It used a special ejector that worked with rimless cases. Supposedly a PIA to manufacture but with modern machinery and materials I bet they could make this again and expand it to J frames too.

S&W model 16. K frame 32 H&R magnum. They could easily make it 327 now.

Savage 99 have one in .243 but its been tough to find a decent one for moderate money that's not been fxcked with in the stock or receiver in .300 savage.

 

[Mark from MA]

An acquired taste but I always had a soft spot for the Ruger #3

I have a #1 but always wanted to complete the set with a #3, especially straight stock like above.

Holy crap- those 547's are going for big bucks on GB.

I wish that was mine. Image shamelessly stolen from a Cabela's used ad - $1700 for a .223

I believe all 3#s were straight stocked.

You ain’t kidding. My buddy got a gorgeous one from auction. Well upon inspection it’s unfired so into the safe it went. I still haven’t shot one.
I guess I could add the Medusa 47 in here too. Talk about a cool concept and a supposedly super strong revolver. I didn’t want to pay 1k for one when I first heard of them. I would pay 2k in a heartbeat now. Last I knew they were about 5k a pop

Marlin Camp 9 and Ruger 44 mag carbine

I could never figure out why Marlin never brought back the Camp 9 and Camp 45. They're fun and popular little PCCs that use easy to find magazines and that are easy to work on.
I'm fortunate to have one of each, and I shoot both regularly.

I've only tried a camp 45 a guy at the club let me shoot a year ago. Does the camp 9 launch spent brass 50 feet like the camp 45 does?

[carbuncle]

The S&W Third Generation. They should have reworked them, tightened up the selection and modernized the features and kept the line going like Sig has with the 220/226. I'd fall all over myself to buy a 5906, 6906 and CS9 (or.40, .45 or 10) with, for example, rails, multiple grip and finish options and optics cuts.

 

[dixidawg]

Ruger Red Labels. Especially the 28 ga.

Winchester Model 42 (410 Bore) and Model 12 (28 Ga.)

The Most Fun Guns to Shoot

Oh how I miss them all

 

[fencer]

Sig 556.
I still kick myself for selling that rifle. I got a stupid good deal on it in a group buy here on NES.
American Weapons System was just starting out and to become an authorized Sig dealer he had to place a minimum order. He sold the rifles at basically cost.

I sold it to a customer/ friend that I still see all the time, for a wicked good price. I tell him I want to buy it back every time I see him.
