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... Bob .350 and 6.5....
If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

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.

Blaser K95, a break open single shot, is my favourite, by far...

Very cool.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I like the 'newer' FTWT w/CRF too. Of the ones I've handled they are heavier than the PF model. I really do like both. Jerry Love Winchester FWs. I have one in 270. It's not gay.

M70 FWTs are my favorites, too. Pre64s, push feeds, Classics, BACOs...I like 'em all.

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....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

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.

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

Sounds like a sweet set up. A Lyman 48 sure seems handy to carry and I'd like to try the same one year. Will be waiting for the pics.

I have two favorites right now, my first one is my second custom: And my latest custom (a friend named it my 'transgendered' rifle - self-identified as a 6.5x55 Swede and has had the 'surgery' done) A very close third is my very first one with custom wood. I did this one right after I graduated college.

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....... What brand of knife is that in the top picture?
