Now, having said that, I must come clean and tell you that my go to hunting rifle is a M70 Featherweight Winchester in 30-06. I really couldn't afford the Weatherby at the time. The Winchester was my choice and I rate it at second best. Thirty years ago I had two kids in college and couldn't justify the difference in cost for the rifle(s); Win being $325.00 and the Weatherby being $850.00. However, now at seventy-two years old the light weight of the Win is much more appreciated!
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

This thread is likely to hatch another dozen or so rifle looneys!

Marlin 1895G is a classic IMO. If you're ever lucky enough to run across the 1895GST (Talo)....don't worry about the $$, just buy it. You'll be VERY glad ya did!! ![[Linked Image]](http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa246/Nebraska01/20100618_28_zps05b8318a.jpg)
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

Since you premised that money is no object. I'd be inclined to take a nice Holland & Holland double rifle. Not that I can vouch for their quality first hand. I don't think this would be considered a "best value" rifle either.

A Rigby Mauser like the one they made for Jim Corbett, hold the inlay and engraving.

I don't think this would be considered a "best value" rifle either. Those are custom, definitely not factory built. I have a sako bolt action that is fine, but have my eye on picking up a Blaser. Seems german precision makes for a great factory rifle.

Without a doubt, one of the Nosler rifles.

I have stopped toting a thin barreled heavy WBY mag killer for a pre-64 243 Win fwt or a nosler custom light weight rifle.

I sat at a campfire with Ken Howell and he changed my mind on Cooper rifles. Care to share Bart? Was it the political bent of the owner or a mechanical issue? For me it was the tiny groups on the sticker-shot at 50 yds.

Are we talking brush gun? Long range? Short range? Tree stand? Ground blind? Thumper? Light kicker?
It's very complicated.
