Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles "Too pretty to hunt with?"

I always buy Deluxe hunting rifles and pay a premium for the select grade woods. But I avoid special engraved types. It’s displeasing enough getting marks on the ones I have. And all my firearms are taken out in the field and more often to the range. Heck, I got the worst dings on my Mannlicher 30-06 when ejected AK47 shells flew over to the next bench banging into my Mannlicher stock. When I finally realized what was going on I was like: jeese this is supposed to happen on a fall in the woods. Either way battle scars- or whatever scars- are inevitable however annoying they are. If you are the type that wants to just look at and admire a firearm,than go get yourself
rifles with purdy furniture. If you are like me and have to shoot the s%#t out of every firearm you own, learn to live with the inevitable dings and scratches, or avoid buying fancy furniture on your rifles.
