Recently I've thought I might want to start a small "working" collection of vintage classic hunting rifles.
Not starting, but ending up with! About three years ago, I realized that I only have a few decent hunting years left, so I began selling off my least favorite rifles so that I could concentrate on using those that I like the most. There was nothing wrong with those sold off, They were just not 'special' enough!
I still have too many, but the 'small working collection' includes:
- a 1903 M-S stutzen
- two Brno 22Fs, one 7X57, one 8X57
- a Sako L46 (unfortunately rechambered from 222 to 223 Rem before I got it)
- Winchester M54 30 WCF rifle
- 1903A3 sporter
- a Mexican Mauser sporter
- a Mauser Model S copy apparently made in a backyard shop in Epfendorff, Germany by an Anton Kohle
I still have other rifles, but I try to have one of this group in the woods as much as possible during the season.
