My first grab goes to a 1912 Styer 98 Mauser converted to .308 with a 22" wilson barrel and all the custom ad ons. This was my first "custom" rifle and has been my companion for @ 25 years, through two barrels. It is like a well broken in set of boots. It just fits me and I shoot it well. My second is the Marlin 30.30 hand me down from my Uncle. This was my first big game rifle. Last but still special, Ruger Mark II 7 x 57. I am restocking it with AA walnut this summer in something close to the original model 70 contours. This may become the favorite...time, bumps, bruises, and woods time will tell.
