I hope we are talking game rifles. I would still NEED, a bunch of .22s and a Bee or Hornet.

It's in the safe. An early post war commercial FN, .30-06, 24" barrel, tight grain custom English style stock with short forearm and a Neidner butt plate, wearing a 2.5-8 Leupold in Kimber of Oregon detachable mounts, and a Browning leather cobra carry strap let out just enough for a hasty sling. Oh yes fine line, and oak leaf bordered checkering.

If you are going to make me sell all the others, I will change the scope to a Zeiss Conquest HD5 2-10x42, and have a few scrolls of engraving put on the action and rings. Maybe just the rings to keep the rust blue intact. It has a front post and I have a NIB vintage Lyman receiver for a back up.

Truthfully, a small ring Browning Safari .243 or a like .308 both sitting near the above would also work from here on out. Likely the .243. One of the daughters wants the .308. She will get it whenever I decide......
