Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Let's see some ugly/beat-up working rifles

A lot of pretty rifles in this thread. Now for what the OP asked for: my current deer rifle. It has five bucks with six shots to its credit since I started using it again three seasons ago. Note the fine fit of the recoil pad.


A better view of the floated barrel.


View of the high finish on trigger guard and floorplate. Not to mention the close fit of the front of the floorplate to the stock.


The right side.


Don't worry, it used to look worse! Check out the natural wood finish on the original stock and the deep bluing on the original barrel. The old scope was a 30 year old Leupold 3-9 Compact that had about 50% blue and 50% silver.


Pretty is as pretty does. My final target when I finished load work with 130TTSXs.
