What other rifles....grin

Wow. And the #1 above.

GSPfan: You are right - of all the Rifle makes/models I have "collected" over the decades "The Riflemans Rifle" (pre-64 Model 70 Winchesters) are my favorites.
Checking my hard copy inventory I currently also own Rifles made by Browning, Marlin, Mossberg, Kimber of Oregon, Kimber of N.Y., Remington, Weatherby, Ruger, Sako, Tikka and N.E.F.
I shoot most all of them.
I prefer heavy barrel Remingtons (700's, 40-X's and XR-100's) and Rugers (77's, #1-B's and #1-V's) for my high volume Varmint shooting and take pride on those rare occasions when I shoot my various heavy barrel Sakos at Varmints.
For Big Game Hunting I again prefer the Remington 700 line for dependability, durability and accuracy.
I also have several custom Rifles built on Remington 700, XP-100 and 722 actions and a few pre-64 Winchester customs Rifles (both Varmint and Big Game Rifles) as well.
Variety IS the spice of life it seems.

A tang safety Ruger 77V .308 reworked by ROBAR in the 90's ,Schneider barrel, it is a one hole wonder, lot of mid 90's money to get it there! Untold whitetail notches and informal matches with the old boy. When someone ask which gun I own is the most accurate it is a toss up between this gun and a 56' Win target. very best WinPoor

I truly love my Krags!

I've never really cared for #1s but OH MY GOD!!!! This is a thing of beauty!

There sure are a bunch of beautiful rifles on this thread so I figured I'd ugly it up a bit. You get some looks when you show up at the range with a M70 Ultra Grade and a SCAR 17 at the same time. I love classic bolt guns but I got to tell you this SCAR is really growing on me!

Thanks to all on the positive comments on the two custom rifles. I had wanted a nice single shot for a number of years and just couldn't come up with exactly the right combination and a Dakota M10 scared hell out of 5 figures.
The Ruger #1 action has been tweaked and a different trigger used. IIRC it's a Timmeny trigger. the barrel is a tapered octagon 24 inches in length from McGowen. All the metal including the butt plate is color case hardened, the rings are from Brownell and the quarter rib was custom built for this rifle. Inletted island swivels and a filigreed ebony for end tip add the finishing touches. Topped with a Leupold VariXIII 2.5X8 completes exactly what I wanted for half the price of the Dakota. And it's scary accurate

Early 70's Weatherby 30-06, very accurate and for sale! 600, very best winbroke

The latest one.

OMG... I didn't think I'd ever see a remingotn 700 in the Winchester collectors forum...

I like your style anyway... It's a lefty!!!

How about a couple of '03 Springfields?
Top is an 03A1, bottom is an 03A3. Both have mint bores. 03A3 has a 4-groove.

Probably my favorite rifle (today). Ruger .30-06, rebarreled with a 24" tube and customized by Hill Country Rifles.


A sentimental favorite...factory-rebuilt Remington 7600 in .30-06, wearing a late Lyman 4X. 18,000 rounds of LC Match went down the 1st tube, before a factory rebarrel job.

Lordy ,I keep coming back to drool over this one! Ive turned into a large .25 cal fan, I did just sell my Coyote Lite Win 70 in .25WSSM, the deer would hunch up, maybe do a rodeo kick but go right down, I to ended u loving the 110 accubonds, Winchester had a cheaper ,super X 120 gr PEP load that was both accurate and deadly, they offered it in 25-06 and 25 wssm, same ballistics but loaded hot in the 25wssm just to match the 25-06.

Color case hard and fire blue are just fantastic!
