Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Let's see some ugly/beat-up working rifles

Not that I need a rifle for work, but this one has seen 68 years of use - last 7 in my hands. One son took his first deer with it, another son will be carrying it this coming fall.




This one's been around 114 years and had more than a bit of rework done to it to make it into a 250-3000, definitely needs to be hunted more. Father-in-law hunted with it quite a bit, I've only taken it on a doe antelope hunt where it worked beautifully. Not bad for a gun that was probably displayed at the World's Fair in Paris in 1900.
