This one is kinda nice. 1957 336SC in .30-30. Scope is a Lyman 3X that was rebuilt and resealed by Parsons. Perfect deer combo out to 200 yds or so. Bob

I've pared down my collection over the past few years after having owned some really nice Hill Country Rifles customs, NULAs, Tikkas, an Al & Roger Biesen, a McMillan G30, and others. Right now I'm all pre-64 except a McWhorter 270 Wby. built on a Stiller action, Hart 1:10" SS #5 25" in a McMillan Sporter Edge with Jewell trigger and a Swaro Z6i 3-18. It's a fairly new rifle for me and is shooting well. I'm taking it to West TX this fall to chase some Aoudad. Eric Eric, you are just a damn good shot. Probably give those guys in your unit that are specialists a run for their money. I can't wait to see how the 338 shoots for you. One thing you'll notice about it vs. the 30-06 you got from me is it doesn't foul as quickly....Nice rifles you got there. I know the one on the left is a shooter as 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 like that rifle and scope combo! So classic. Are those Talley lows or super-lows? Bob

MRC .375, built by Hill Country Rifles. I toyed with the idea of selling it awhile back. Glad I still have it. Bob

Very sweet rifle Shrap... I'll bet it shoots damn well too.. Love the Sako...and Mr Shrapnel has a few. The little short-action ones are gorgeous. I'm down to just one Sako now, an AV lefty that I put a 3-9x Zeiss Conquest on today. Can't wait to zero it. Bob

Here's an AV in .25-06...one of my "never sell" rifles. A new 3-9x40mm Zeiss Conquest (one of the Conquest overruns from Euro Optics) is on top. I like this combo. If I were right-handed, I'd have a bunch of Sakos, just like Shrapnel. Bob

Beautiful pre 64's, Sako's and other very nice rifles here and yet, I'm thinking about the sporterized/custom m1917 I saw the other day.... Grew up using/loving them and really miss the ones I've had and let go. For some reason, they are just too user friendly for me to not have at least 1 in the safe. The one I saw the other day won't sell in the shop either because there isn't another screwed up left handed m1917 user in these parts....
