I guess My favorite rifle as far as looks would be a Weatherby Mark V Ultralight, also a Christensen Arms Ridgeline looks mighty good...........Hb

Thanks. That's one of the better looking pieces I've seen.

Life's just too short to hunt with a plastic rifle. Custom Shop Model 70 338:

Been looking for one in that caliber for years!

This one spends a lot of time outdoors, plus in a truck, on an ATV, in a combine, on a tractor, on a horse and I like it's style.

The Husqvarna's imported by Smith and Wesson and the subsequent FFV Carl Gustav Husky's make my heart go pitter patter.

I won't say my Sako Finnlights are good looking, but they feel great, and are pretty weather proof. Falling down on the hunt here is pretty much guaranteed.
I have rifles I would hate to carry in the woods because they are too pretty.

I like the "looks" of my old model 70's the best, but prefer hunting my m1917.... wink....:

BSA I've cleared out room in my safe for the top one when you're done with it.

I once had a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe that I bought new around 1976. That was the nicest looking rifle I have ever owned. It shot great as well for about 30 years and then the accuracy fell off so I sold it (got twice what I paid for it).

I just like this, there are more accurate rifles, more practical rifles, and cheaper rifles.

But none please me as much as the model 21.

When I handle this the whole world pauses and waits for me, a little bit like fishing really.

Pretty gun:
My 7MM08 remington Mountain Laminate SS in its nutmeg stock. Pretty wood, older shiny SS Remington used to use.

The iffy shell feeding and so-so accuracy offset the pretty-ness of it enough that it gets out only once every few year.

Reliable & performance gun:
I'm really liking my SS browning x-bolt 3006 for being consistent and designed well

cariboujack -

This is the pic of my Rem M Six (6) in 30-06. I have one in 6mm Rem & 270 Win and they look very similar. They are not "safe queens", I hunt WT with them BUT I probably would NOT take one on a rough hunt. As I said in my first response, I like the looks/lines of the M 6s.

Sorry for poor quality, I've been fighting lighting and shade.

OTOH - Here is my Win 70 Black Shadow in 300 WM. I like the looks and feel of this stock. It's NOT hollow so it doesn't get COLD as an iron wedge. **( I have a Rem 700 ADL synthetic in 7 RM. It's a great shooter but in COLD Wx it feels like you're holding ICE)**

I would take this one on a "rough hunt". I've killed several WT with this rifle. It fits ME and I'd take it on any hunt I wanted. Actually IF I get drawn for an Ark Elk permit this is probably the rifle I'd take.

Model 6's are just rare enough and pretty enough that I would take a beater out on bad days. You dont see them very often.

Nice gun.
