If I have only one, it would have to be a custom. Something along a traditional English rifle or early Griffin & Howe built on a commercial mauser or springfield action but with a more modern stock designed for scope use. Caliber would have to be 30-06. I don't have an '06 now, but if limited to one gun I think that would do me. Leupold VX3 2.5-8 in very nice steel mounts similar to Conetrol.

It would have to have nice wood, hand checkered, inlayed swivels, very basic engraving, color casehardened action, high luster blued finish.

Sounds expensive, but if I added up what I currently had I could have easily paid for it. A Rigby or Westley-Richards would be nice in a modern stock as well.


Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
