What's the gun or cartridge you "never" will have
I've got a variety of rifles and shotguns , but , the "30-06" bothers me to the point of being so successful that I can't buy one , LOL ...I would rather avoid the 30-06 with the 270 , 308 , 7rm and many others than give in ... Do you have a rifle or cartridge that just doesn't do it ... I also love Kimber but , No ...

.270win and 30-30 absolutely no reason why, except everyone else has one.

I don't think I'll ever own a 30/30. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it doesn't appeal to me as a bush cartridge or for anything else.

.303, just because Cat likes it enough for six of us so why bother?  Also don't see much reason to have anything bigger than a .300 WM, though I did have a .416 Rigby for a while....I don't have anything against the .375 H&H, or all the other great big bores....just don't see a need for one.

338 Lapua
I would never own one of these or a cannon. Seriously though just to expensive to shoot and waaaaay to much recoil.
EDIT:
I might own one if things stay this bloody cold and and Wooly Mammoths make a comeback.

The .270 has just never appealed to me.

Only the 270wby has my look.
having had enough of the 30-06 and variants they don't appeal to me..
Most hyphen cartridges either...30-30, 25-20, 45-70, 250-3000 and even the the monster 30-378 and 33-378. But the 6.5-300wby is cool....so in the end I really don't know after all...

I doubt I'll ever own anything over a 338WM. No real point for my big game hunting/shooting needs. I guess if I wanted to chop trees with one or something maybe?

As for calibers of rifles I would never own, the .270 Win and the .243 Win are 2 calibers I have never had any desire to own. I have shot them both in rifles other people owned but I just could never bring myself to buy one even though I have been offered good deals on them both at some point over the years.
As for Brands I would never own, with the exception of a 99C model any rifle or shotgun with the name Savage on it and probably I will never buy a Mossberg.

Never will own another winchester model 1300. Piece of @#$%!. Oh yah and anything savage or mosberg. Couldn't see myself spend good money on one. Just my 2 cents. As per cartridge the wsm line or the saum line up seem like nothing but a sales gimic.

I don't get the 308 or its whole dang family. The 30-06 and its family is bigger faster and hits harder at every level.

With the exception of another model 99, never a savage for me.
Or a wsm chambering, they just seem like a gimmick to me with no real improvements over what is already out there.
Also synthetic (plastic) stocks and cheap parkerized finishes grind my gears, I won't own that either.
To each their own

Will never have another 338 RUM or a Mossberg. Once was enough for both.

X2. Add 300 win mag. 357 H&H and the .338. Thinking about it you could add all the 30 calibures.

I like shooting guns, so I don't discriminate
That said, I don't reload, so I tend to gravitate to the popular cartridges. For ammo availability/affordability, if no other reason.
Now if I started reloading, who knows. Might get into some of those weirdo obscure cartridges that only this one guy has ever heard of, but swears is the best thing since... The previous best thing.

The .308 family will do everything the .30-06 family will, in a short action, with less powder and recoil. So there.

Remington 870 express. I just dislike them
not a fan of most magnums
Browning xbolt-I believe there are better rifles for the price, or as good ones for cheaper
Savage 99 because I like external hammers on my leverguns
Modern inline black powder guns

"shotty" type pistol grip shotguns, can't think of any reason to own one, a shotgun with a short barrel and a stock can be aimed properly in case of a bear attack. I'm thinking 99% of people that buy these do so on impulse run two boxes of shells through it then put in in the closet or sell it for half what they paid for it.

I would own all of them at least once if possible......still working on it.
I can't "dislike" any of them. They are more alike than different.
Just numbers on brass cases. Bullets in the right spot matter much more.
And,...I have no problems with belted cases. Ran a few of them without issue.

I will never own a 303. Not because of the cartridge but because of the wore out pos that my dad gave me as a kid. I remember having a hard time hitting a sheet of plywood at a 100 yards. Another rifle i will never own is a 30-06, not because its a bad cartridge, its just so dam universal i would probably have to sell a bunch of other rifles. You also will never see a savage centerfire or a mossberg in my safes.

All the 300's and 300 super duper mags.
Strange because I have nothing against other 30 calibers (7.62x39, 30-30, 308 30-06)

Mares legs. That short stock is silly. I have seen full length stocks for them though. Any short barreled long action rifle. Over and unders, can't stand them.
