Yes. They're awesome rifles; just get rid of the plastic parts and they're kinda nice-looking, too. I replaced the floorplate/triggerguard and bolt shroud with nicely machined aluminum ones.

I also have a soft spot for my customized Ruger 77 in .30-06. Probably my favorite rifle.

My smith had this for sale. I just couldn't resist. Built on a .1909 Argentine Mauser action in 257Roberts.

Nice lefties my friend...I tried to like left handed bolt actions, but just couldn't do it. Too many years learning with the wrong handed ones... sick

I don't know if this will turn into a favorite or not. I just picked it up a short while ago and haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. Once again a 1909 Argentine Mauser action this time in 25-06. I figured this would be a good fit between the Roberts and the 257 WBY.[Linked Image] [Linked Image][img]http://i328.photobucket.com/al...derson410/IMG_0719_zpspa32dk4e.jpg[/img]ms/l355/rlanderson410/IMG_0718_zpsugpik9ni.jpg[/IMG][/URL][Linked Image]

This is a tough one for me, and I am not sure this is it but to play along I would say my M1 Garand it up there. Bought it though the DCM (now CMP) for $125.00 and sent it to a gent named Roland Beaver in Bald Knob, Arkansas and he turn it into a national match configuration for me. He was a former USMC armorer and did a splendid job. Few give me more joy to shoot, mostly now only in my clubs annual M1 match.

My FN 9.3x62 has treated me well too. These shots from 2002.
