I sort of like this one. It's really new.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

This is my current favorite. Rem 700 in 300saum. This is actually the only picture I have of it. That rifle has gone through hell and it keeps on ticking. It will be wearing a maple stock in the future.

Some of you, take some pretty fancy rifles into the woods. I'm impressed. My rifle is just functional. I think I'm cheap.

I love the simple classic lines and balance of this 1960's era Sako Forester Carbine in .358 Win. It's an elk slayer! My current favorite is this Kimber Hunter in 6.5 CM. It's very light, has perfect balance and ergonomics and also is showing signs of being superbly accurate....

That front one has a beautiful stock. Of all the standard factory rifles being produced, I have to say I like the lines of a Model 70 Featherweight better than any other. I think Ruger 77s come close. That may be why I have three of them. Marlin Guide Guns look great too. When you start talking about custom grade rifles, I have seen some of the nicest wood on Dakota rifles. They have nice lines as well. As much as I appreciate figured walnut, there's something about the way a stainless rifle with a tan stock looks that I really like.

I like the 'newer' FTWT w/CRF too. Of the ones I've handled they are heavier than the PF model. I really do like both. Jerry

No pics, but picture, if you will, a well worn but mechanically tight Winchester M54. Crisp bore directed by a Lyman receiver sight, .30-30 chambering, with many tales of derring-do in Eastern Woodlands absorbed in its walnut stock. I know you bring that one up every time.... just to bait me and have my head full of envy all day.... one of my short list of rifles I'd love to have....

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 think that's pretty funny after all the fussing that went on when Ruger went from shiny to matte. I've got a shiny 77/22 RSI and a Hawkeye Predator and Hawkeye All Weather, and like 'em all. Stainless and light-colored walnut go great together.

Don't have pics handy, but about 25 years ago USRA - Winchester had a thing called Winlite. blued steel on a black McMillan Stock with no checkering. The Featherweight version had the usual featherweight schnable at the tip of the forend (but not the curved checkering the wood fwts have. That had to be the nicest looking plastic production rifle ever. These days, I'm rather fond of the Ruger No1. Probably a long barreled No1S (like the .300 H&H they had a few years back with a 26" bbl) is the nicest looking of them. this is a No1A in .270 Poole PS THIS is an "indoor" rifle:
