People will probably make fun of this but I really like my Ruger M77 MkII Stainless, in the Zytel stock, with sights, and I replaced the tire tread with a Limbsaver recoil pad. But it's tough, and shoots good. Wears a 2.5-8 X 36 VX3.

Favorite outdoor rifle? Do they make indoor rifles?

Caribou -
Can I have 2 answers?
I have 3 Rem Mod 6 rifles ( 6mm Rem, 270 W, & 30-06 ) that are sweet looking rigs. For any not familiar w/ M 6 they are dressed up M 7600s. I plan to bloody the 6, 30-06 for my first time. I call it 6-OH 6.
I don't own my second answer but I DROOL over the older Colt Sauers, as in JPSauer. & Sohn. Any cal/cartridge would do, a 270 or 06 probably.
Thnx

I like the looks of Ruger Mark II / Hawkeye types, bead blasted in McMillan Classic and Pacific Research (probably my most favorite stock)stocks. A continual long time favorite is an older 338 Win Mag Mark II stainless in a Pacific Research. Followed by a re-barrelled, stainless 375 Ruger Mark II Hawkeye in a McMillan Classic. I also like M70's, modified CZ's, Mark X's / Whitworths, older Browning Safari types, and of course others.

I really like the look of a model 70 in good wood. Also always liked the looks of a Mauser Mark X.

I've loved the look of the pre-64 M70 for many years - probably why I was determined to buy my first years ago.

I like them all but lately I really like the look an old JM marked Marlin with a set of peeps or a low power scope and a leather sling.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

A couple come to mind, both with distinct lines. A Savage 99, and a Browning BAR.

I let 200 yard targets determine whether or not I like the looks of a rifle.

Jerry I think the rifle you are referring to is actually known as the "Model Six"...not 6. There actually was a "Model 6" many moons ago. It is actually spelled out "Six" on the rifle. All that aside, it's got my vote too. It is hard to beat the lines of that rifle. It is a standout. I like and own more bolt action rifles, but they don't standout...they all just look like a bolt gun although some are uglier than others. I also believe the Marlin 1893 with a pistol grip and full octagon barrel over a full length magazine is another standout, possibly a close second to the Pennsylvania machinegun. You can't "kill" the lines of the 760/7600/Six, even with a carbine barrel or those ridiculous "see thru" scope rings everyone had to have back in the late 70's early 80's. You can easily kill any lever gun with a half magazine or that equally ridiculous half octagon barrel. Nothing kills a rifle for looks faster and more completely than a Mannlicher stock. I remember the first time I saw a Ruger "International"...international what??? Puke machine??? I blew a 4" column of vomit all over the wall!!! The only acceptable bolt gun with a full length stock would have to be the 1903 Springfield, but only IF it had a Unertl scope and a "C" stock on it.

msinc - So, I guess that 6 is not Six ? No problem. I think you figured it out. Jerry

For how a rifle looks I prefer wood over plastic, satin over high gloss wood, blue over stainless.
For overall lines the Savage 99.
In bolt guns, my Kimber of Oregon custom classic 22 Hornet is a good looking rifle. In larger calibers my preference led me to a handful of REM 700 Classics from the 80's and 90'.
My most often used rifle is a stainless/synthetic bolt action, but I wouldn't call it my favorite looking rifle.
