What is your "just because" gun?

The one you want that you can't really justify for any purpose at all.  The one that may be inferior to everything else you already own, may be obsolete, or cumbersome.  The one that people look at and might say "Why did you buy that?!"

I have a bunch!  Bet you guys do also.

For rifles with me it is some sort of falling-block action.  Several are intriguing.  A Ruger No.1 in .30-06 with open sights, a quality Remington falling-block replica, one of the new Steven's Favorite .22 rifles, a Sharps replica in something AWESOME like .45-110!

Carbines...just one remembered some others.  Iver Johnson made a M-1 Carbine for a year or two in stainless steel.  I could settle for one of the M-1 Carbines converted to 9mm Magnum.  A Class 3 Uzi in .45acp too.

Pistols...where to start!  Either or both of an AMT 1911 Hardballer Longslide (.45acp) or Javelina Longslide (10mm).  A break-top .22 revolver like the old H&R 999.  Rossi also has a break-action .22 double barrel pistol. 

What about shotguns?  Just a couple.  A CZ Bobwhite in 28guage, 26" barrels.  And a custom-fit double SxS costing $80,000.

Just because.

Always wanted to build a large Martini in 50 -90 or 50-110 no use for it but have always wanted one now I can not find the actions...

Yeah!  Twenty years ago the actions were ALL over the place.  Now...not so much.

Get a Shotgun News, see what you can find in there.

I want a black powder double barrel shotgun for my just because wall hanger. In the last couple of months, I feel like most of my stuff has become just because weapons. I haven't gone to the range in awhile, recent buying craze pisses me off.

You know things are fuked up when you can't get ammo for .22  >:(

Seriously...when I went to the range yesterday with an unopened brick, I got more attention than waving around a handful of hundred dollar bills.
