Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New old guns?

Great thread. I would rather have an old rifle with walnut and blued steel than any stainless and plastic rifle built. My go to hunting rifles now are a custom Mexican Mauser in 7mm Mauser and a Husqvarna 458 mannlicher in 243 Winchester. I have passed on to my boys the stainless and plastic rifles that will all shoot sub minute of angle groups and I don't miss them. My Mauser and My Husqvarna will both shoot between an inch and a inch and a half most all the time and that seems to be good enough.





Last rifle bought was a Marlin SC in 35 Remington. Bubba had worked his magic on straightening out the pistol grip and slimming down the fore end. I knew it wasn't original when I bought it and since it had already been modified, I didn't have to mess up an original Marlin SC to get what I think is the perfect 35 Remington.
