I guess My favorite rifle as far as looks would be a Weatherby Mark V Ultralight, also a Christensen Arms Ridgeline looks mighty good...........Hb

Moosemike. 85 Classic in 7mmRM. Maybe my favorite thing in the safe. Thanks. That's one of the better looking pieces I've seen.

Life's just too short to hunt with a plastic rifle. Custom Shop Model 70 338:

I don't even have it in my hands yet so I am guessing but I think it will become a favorite of mine. I have always loved the classic good looks of a Mauser actioned sporter. Here is Browning's rendition in a High Power Safari Grade .300 H&H Magnum: Been looking for one in that caliber for years!

I'm kinda partial to plastic rifles.

I'm talking one you would take on a rough hunting trip, not one that is a safe queen that only goes to the range.
This one spends a lot of time outdoors, plus in a truck, on an ATV, in a combine, on a tractor, on a horse and I like it's style.

The Husqvarna's imported by Smith and Wesson and the subsequent FFV Carl Gustav Husky's make my heart go pitter patter.

I won't say my Sako Finnlights are good looking, but they feel great, and are pretty weather proof. Falling down on the hunt here is pretty much guaranteed. I have rifles I would hate to carry in the woods because they are too pretty.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

BSA I've cleared out room in my safe for the top one when you're done with it.

I once had a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe that I bought new around 1976. That was the nicest looking rifle I have ever owned. It shot great as well for about 30 years and then the accuracy fell off so I sold it (got twice what I paid for it).

I just like this, there are more accurate rifles, more practical rifles, and cheaper rifles. But none please me as much as the model 21. When I handle this the whole world pauses and waits for me, a little bit like fishing really.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Pretty gun: My 7MM08 remington Mountain Laminate SS in its nutmeg stock. Pretty wood, older shiny SS Remington used to use.
The iffy shell feeding and so-so accuracy offset the pretty-ness of it enough that it gets out only once every few year.
Reliable & performance gun: I'm really liking my SS browning x-bolt 3006 for being consistent and designed well
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

cariboujack - This is the pic of my Rem M Six (6) in 30-06. I have one in 6mm Rem & 270 Win and they look very similar. They are not "safe queens", I hunt WT with them BUT I probably would NOT take one on a rough hunt. As I said in my first response, I like the looks/lines of the M 6s. Sorry for poor quality, I've been fighting lighting and shade. I'm talking one you would take on a rough hunting trip, not one that is a safe queen that only goes to the range.
OTOH - Here is my Win 70 Black Shadow in 300 WM. I like the looks and feel of this stock. It's NOT hollow so it doesn't get COLD as an iron wedge. **( I have a Rem 700 ADL synthetic in 7 RM. It's a great shooter but in COLD Wx it feels like you're holding ICE)** I would take this one on a "rough hunt". I've killed several WT with this rifle. It fits ME and I'd take it on any hunt I wanted. Actually IF I get drawn for an Ark Elk permit this is probably the rifle I'd take. Jerry

You dont see them very often. Nice gun.

Very Nice !! I do not own one, but really like those Safari Grades in the CRF. I don't even have it in my hands yet so I am guessing but I think it will become a favorite of mine. I have always loved the classic good looks of a Mauser actioned sporter. Here is Browning's rendition in a High Power Safari Grade .300 H&H Magnum:
