What gun have you wanted for a long time but just won't spend the money on?

I have wanted a Springfield Socom 16 for the longest damn time but I know it just won't get used enough and it's one that I just can't spend the money on.

I have lots of guns I don't use much and have spent good money on but for some reason,
this is the one I just can't seem to do.
 
Ranted to my friend last night for at least 15mins abt how I've always wanted a nice Garand but they are stupid money. Given what it is, I'd only want to buy 1, and that 1 should be of good quality. Well... service and special grade ones are stupid money and I can't justify it to just throw it in the safe and never use it. I actually enjoyed shooting my buddy's Garand (the guy I was bitching to), and he sold his for 1200 a couple years ago. Anyway... no Garand for me.

Prob a chromed DE .50. Gun's too much money for me, plus the dies, brass, etc.

SVT 40- too much for what is basically a junky Soviet blaster. I have always had a thing for them though.

Whitney Wolverine- too much for what is basically a stylish plinker

One of the first gun shows I went to after moving here in 1991, there was a Barrett for sale for $2,995.00 (or so). Don't think it was mag-fed, but it was still a Barrett. And somewhat affordable. Just not to me at that time.

Yup. The cost to feed it ain’t cheap either.

As time has passed, he's been proven more and more correct.

Last couple of things that I got, just becasue: PPK/s, and a Contender. The Contender, I'd wanted that since ca. 1974
