Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles A perfect rifle

Winter is setting in, and boredom has come sneaking in with it. Time for a time-killing photo essay thread...

Let's see the "perfect rifles" you have. Not THE perfect rifle, but A perfect rifle. It is perfect for the task at hand, no matter how narrow that task might be. What might be perfect for one task could be dreadfully ill-suited for another. A perfect rifle is one that has proven up in the field, and that you would make absolutely no changes to (a high standard for a loony.) Here is one of mine:


A .416 Rem built on a LH Winchester 70 action, with a McMillan sniperfill stock in the supergrade pattern. Zeiss 1.5-8x scope. Barrel that I got from Mule Deer here on the campfire.


Heavy enough to shoot well, light enough to carry all day in heat and humidity.

Figured out a way to mount a light that is ever so handy when you are out after dark, and you are not the only/top predator in the system.
