People will probably make fun of this but I really like my Ruger M77 MkII Stainless, in the Zytel stock, with sights, and I replaced the tire tread with a Limbsaver recoil pad. But it's tough, and shoots good. Wears a 2.5-8 X 36 VX3.

Caribou -

Can I have 2 answers?

I have 3 Rem Mod 6 rifles ( 6mm Rem, 270 W, & 30-06 ) that are sweet looking rigs. For any not familiar w/ M 6 they are dressed up M 7600s. I plan to bloody the 6, 30-06 for my first time. I call it 6-OH 6.

I don't own my second answer but I DROOL over the older Colt Sauers, as in JPSauer. & Sohn. Any cal/cartridge would do, a 270 or 06 probably.


Thnx

I like the looks of Ruger Mark II / Hawkeye types, bead blasted in McMillan Classic and Pacific Research (probably my most favorite stock)stocks.
A continual long time favorite is an older 338 Win Mag Mark II stainless in a Pacific Research. Followed by a re-barrelled, stainless 375 Ruger Mark II Hawkeye in a McMillan Classic.

I also like M70's, modified CZ's, Mark X's / Whitworths, older Browning Safari types, and of course others.

I've loved the look of the pre-64 M70 for many years - probably why I was determined to buy my first years ago.

I think the rifle you are referring to is actually known as the "Model Six"...not 6. There actually was a "Model 6" many moons ago. It is actually spelled out "Six" on the rifle. All that aside, it's got my vote too. It is hard to beat the lines of that rifle. It is a standout. I like and own more bolt action rifles, but they don't standout...they all just look like a bolt gun although some are uglier than others. I also believe the Marlin 1893 with a pistol grip and full octagon barrel over a full length magazine is another standout, possibly a close second to the Pennsylvania machinegun.
You can't "kill" the lines of the 760/7600/Six, even with a carbine barrel or those ridiculous "see thru" scope rings everyone had to have back in the late 70's early 80's. You can easily kill any lever gun with a half magazine or that equally ridiculous half octagon barrel. Nothing kills a rifle for looks faster and more completely than a Mannlicher stock. I remember the first time I saw a Ruger "International"...international what??? Puke machine??? I blew a 4" column of vomit all over the wall!!!
The only acceptable bolt gun with a full length stock would have to be the 1903 Springfield, but only IF it had a Unertl scope and a "C" stock on it.

For how a rifle looks I prefer wood over plastic, satin over high gloss wood, blue over stainless.

For overall lines the Savage 99.

In bolt guns, my Kimber of Oregon custom classic 22 Hornet is a good looking rifle. In larger calibers my preference led me to a handful of REM 700 Classics from the 80's and 90'.

My most often used rifle is a stainless/synthetic bolt action, but I wouldn't call it my favorite looking rifle.

UGLY!? Best not let your rifle here that. A classic is more like it. Just years ahead of its time as far as I'm concerned. AND in 222. First deer cartridge I owned. Traded a '64 chevy p/u for 2 .22 rifles and a Savage 340 in 222.

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).

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

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.

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.

humdinger -

Thnx man, since I have 3 I agree w/you. I had another in 270 W but my youngest son has adopted it.

Of all the M Sixes made roughly 1/2 were in 30-06 and ONLY around 1000 were in 6mm Rem.

I don't know if you were involved in a thread in the Deer Hunting Forum but there was a lengthy thread entitled Deer Hunting & Pump Rifles. If interested do a search in that thread under that title and key word Mag Marc. There are @ 6 pages and a lot of pics.

Marc, SKane, Whelen Man, BobinNH and others participated. Unless I'm mistaken the totals and % of cartridges chambered in the M Six are in the latter pages.

There are 7600s, 14s and 141 pumps also pictured in that thread.

Thnx Again

Yeah, I really do not see many Model Sixes around, now that ya mention it. A 6mm Rem would be a cool one.

Here is my 141 in 35 Rem. This and a Savage 99 takedown in 300 Savage were my first 2 centerfires. Of course the 141 is a takedown also.......

No pics, but picture, if you will, a well worn but mechanically tight Winchester M54. Crisp bore directed by a Lyman receiver sight, .30-30 chambering, with many tales of derring-do in Eastern Woodlands absorbed in its walnut stock.

This is one of my all time favorite Rifles. I knew that I had to have one when the 1981 Win catalog came out. I got a 270 Win and let that one get away from me but replaced it in 2011.

It works. This one is 6.5X55 that I bought from 'bangeye' here on the 'fire.
First DAY to hunt it 11/2012. I'm in timber and it's cloudy.

I've watched the thread several times and enjoyed it. I really kick myself for not scooping up a 3006 at a gun show because I wanted to find a 308.. I have yet to see another at a gunshow.

I'll mention I avoid gunshows now because I have a gun buying addiction...

My favorite outdoor rifle (Kevlar stocked 721) is not even close to the one I like the looks of best -- hard choice, maybe my 1885 45-90 or my pre 64 375 H&H AI.

My favorite indoor rifle shoots salt. I use it on flies. It is my a-salt rifle.


I prefer classic.

When you start talking about custom grade rifles, I have seen some of the nicest wood on Dakota rifles. They have nice lines as well.

As much as I appreciate figured walnut, there's something about the way a stainless rifle with a tan stock looks that I really like.

I also like M70's, modified CZ's, Mark X's / Whitworths, older Browning Safari types, and of course others.


I think that's pretty funny after all the fussing that went on when Ruger went from shiny to matte. I've got a shiny 77/22 RSI and a Hawkeye Predator and Hawkeye All Weather, and like 'em all. Stainless and light-colored walnut go great together.

Don't have pics handy, but about 25 years ago USRA - Winchester had a thing called Winlite. blued steel on a black McMillan Stock with no checkering. The Featherweight version had the usual featherweight schnable at the tip of the forend (but not the curved checkering the wood fwts have. That had to be the nicest looking plastic production rifle ever.

These days, I'm rather fond of the Ruger No1. Probably a long barreled No1S (like the .300 H&H they had a few years back with a 26" bbl) is the nicest looking of them.

this is a No1A in .270

Horseman --

Yeah I like that one very much.

But I like Rem M Six, Kleingunther, & Wby Mark V too.
I like flashy women too.

Thanks for the pics.

...I was a teenager in the 60s and it was love at first sight...the Remington 600...especially the laminated stock Magnum version...

Didn't buy one till bout 13 years ago and should have done so a long time before that...

Now have a .308 and .350 and just love the way they look and handle...

Here is my favorite wombat blaster. Please note the superior Savage Precision Target Action, manufactured from melted meteor alloy fallen from the sky, and a perfect Pac-Nor barrel made by Oregon Elves in a hillside factory concealed by an enchanted fog. I bedded and finished the stock while smoking a Macanudo Estate Reserve 2015 Churchill stogie and drinking a Caffeine Free Diet Coke. It is chambered in .204 Ruger, or .223 Remington, or 6mm PPC, or .243 WSSM, or just about anything else as the whim strikes me, and I ain't too lazy to swap the barrel. I forgot what the scope is, but most likely a Bushnell Elite 4200 6.5-24. This is a true outdoor rifle as it weighs 14 pounds and is seen rested on my high-wheel portable shooting bench, one never hoofs through the wild places without wheels to carry this magnificent boat anchor. Speaking of anchor, this rifle saved me during a sudden wet microburst, when it prevented me from being blown into Washington State from east of Redmond, Oregon. That was quite a day, started out with sleet, followed by winds and rain, then the microburst, then sunshine and gales. Sage rats died by the buckets full. All of which proves the superior quality of stamped, cast and billet parts gnawed out on CNC machining enters attended by Chinese robots in Massachusetts.

It's impossible for the rifle to be gay. Generally it's the guy behind the butt that's gay... Seeing how you shoot a 270, well.... whistle

I have a ruger 77 tanger that someone that really knew what they were doing re shaped to a much thinner profile added a ebony forend cap and rechecked with a nice 22 lpi pattern. Makes a nice classic style rifle.

My favorite is this custom on a mauser 1909 action with a 22" octagon barrel in 30-06. I got it a year ago and shot a nice buck with it.

Now I have scoped it with a 3-9x36 Swarovski Z3 in Conetrol mounts. It stays sighted in which is my demand of hunting rifles.

If you had only one year,how do you know it stays sighted in? 4-5 years yes,one year don't think so.

Horseman,

I've looked at that rifle a bunch, but figured BSA would never part with it. About a year ago I set out to build my own. Came up with a 1957 M70 Fwt in .270 (same year as me). McM Edge fill stock, brown paint, red pad. Biggest difference is that I have a Lyman 48WJS aperture sight mounted instead of the scope. Hope to take a deer with it this year. Will post up pics sometime...

I have two favorites right now, my first one is my second custom:
[Linked Image]

And my latest custom (a friend named it my 'transgendered' rifle - self-identified as a 6.5x55 Swede and has had the 'surgery' done)

[Linked Image]

A very close third is my very first one with custom wood. I did this one right after I graduated college.

I'm with Cariboujack.

L to R:
.338WM MKII assembled from factory parts
.300WM, MKII, factory config
.30-066, MKII, replaced laminate stock with Zytel

[Linked Image]

The .338WM was assembled with a take-off barrel I got from Cariboujack. I've taken 3 elk with it so far and it is going again this year, along with the .300WM with which I've taken 2 elk. The .30-06 accounts for only one elk. So far every time I've taken one of these afield I've filled my elk tag.

Team Zytel 6
Team Elk 0.

A tang safety M77 in .270. The stock (but not the action) used to belong to Jack O'Connor. It was a gift from Bill Ruger. Originally it was a 7x57. It was broken and a new stock was sent to O'Connor.

Thanks, I actually bought that blank on ebay for $35.00.
Sent the blank to Dennis Olson in Plains, Mt.

He used his pattern to turn the blank for me.

I did the final fitting and finish work. I used Art aka Sitka Deer's warm epoxy finish method then sent to Tim Smith Lyon for checkering.

I hope it turns out to be your favorite.
Would love to see pic's when done.

All but the Remington 700 .243 are favorites. And I'm working on that one. If I was obsessive of the looks of them I'd never take them out of storage. They are tools!

Ok that 770 loan collateral rifle I was obligated to buy back from a friend of my deceased brother is a pos. I finally have a boat gun that is never gonna become a hunting rifle as the last two did ( they turned out to be really good shooters!)

Come to think of it that 770 may be the best looking rifle I have...... smile

The old eyes ain't what they used to be. However, I think I should be able to put a fat doe in the freezer at the ranges I typically hunt here on the farm.

And yes BSA... This project is all your fault... smile

Great rifle Orion. We'll call that the BSA color scheme I guess. BSA has agreed to sell his to me when he's done with it....wink

I've always liked the Sendero SFII's too. Brushed stainless with blackened flutes is nice. This one's been bedded in Steel Bed and Jewell trigger in 7mmRM. Shoots 168VLD's around 1/2".

This Browning BLR in 308 is probably my favorite rife. I sold one like it years ago and always wished I had it back. It suits me and the kind of hunting that I do very well. I saw this one a while back, and before I knew what happened, it was on the way to my local gun shop. I know that it isn't the best looking rifle to a lot of people, but I got use to its looks 30 years ago and am glad to have one again.

I'm not usually a Browning fan, but that just looks like it belongs in the woods, IMO.

Scrolling through these posts I'm reminded that while the accuracy of the synthetic stocked customs is logically beautiful, there is still nothing more attractive than a deep blued rifle with a dark piece of oil finished walnut. I.e kimber superamerica.

Nothing beats a crf Model 70 in exceptional walnut formed into a classical styled stock for me. ymmv

Every once in a while i get the urge to sell everything and stick to 1 quality stainless syn gun like an x2 or something...but then i realize that I'm already in my 30s and only have 40 years or so to go God willing and those pretty blued and walnut guns wont likely turn to dust in 40 years.
