The firearm is merely the tool used to put a bullet where I want it, at least for me. I like mine to do it consistently with speed and then have some comfort. Looks rank fairly low for me as most who have hunted with me can attest to. Doesn't mean I don't care, it's just not above accuracy, function and feel.
My preferred rifles are savages, some painted but mostly customized and often a wildcat. My usual go to is my 308 because it just works as is, although a 6-06ai was used most this year just because. I own some classics and heirlooms but they just take up space and only get exercised on a rare occasion. I appreciate a fine looking rifle, much like a beautiful woman. It's not very often though you see a supermodel pull a calf, fillet a fish or butcher a deer, in fact I've never seen one. Cute girls who get it done are more my speed.
