Life is way too short to shoot an ugly gun. In the book "Mastery of Wood and Metal", Miller's rifles are shown. They are really rifles of beauty. The one thing I enjoy about fine rifles is their ability to be used in most circumstances encountered while hunting. I happen to be of a wood and blue mind set, and enjoy finely made rifles with excellent wood and good metalwork. With proper use they work well from Alaska to South America. They develop their own personality over time, and wear they scars proudly. I sound like a "rifle Looney", thanks Mule Deer.
