Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles “Pretty” deer rifles...

Yes, someone did. But the OP said, "I’d like to keep it around $1000, give or take." A Kimber Super America will cost you more than that. You're right though - they sure are purdy.

Here is my SC BACO stock. Not the prettiest but not bad. Interestingly, CDNN has SuperGrade FWT stocks for sale. I bought one and it was plain Jane straight grain. I returned it.

BTW if I didn't already have this and -06's coming out my ears I would take Buttstock up on that deal.

My Bergara B-14 fills that bill for me.

Pretty?
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
So to me, this is my prettiest deer (and elk, moose, buffalo and antelope ) rifle.

Another BACO version - the first runs from 2008 usually had pretty decent wood. The 270 bullet bounced off as expected, but he tripped and hit his head on the rock

Very nice - when pretty, old school and deer rifle were all mentioned together, this Ballard was the first one to come to mind:

My 257 Rob in the middle sure is pretty and a tack driver with TTSX's.

An old Super America. So far not a deer rifle!

It is a Winchester Featherweight. Paid 1k for it at....

Kimber 84M's can be found for around a grand. Seen some very pretty ones around.

Has no one recommended a old school Sako yet? Blasphemous

Mine isn't near as pretty as most of these, but it'll do....275 Rigby

Might just buy a knockout piece of wood from boyds. Not gonna get that lucky buying out of a shop these days

Couplea two fifty seven Roberts, and a 44.

That's purdy!

That one always gets me! What a beauty

This is my pretty rifle





Nothing special but I love it.

Yes it is!

I'd probably snag one of those Super Grades and call it good, the Featherweight mentioned earlier would also be a great option.

I know I'll probably get flamed for this but, at least check out the(now discontinued) Savage American Classic, some of them had VERY nice wood. Mossberg is also making the Patriot Revere with nice bluing and very nice checkered walnut stocks.

This Kimber SuperAmerica in the classifieds would have me stretching the budget a little.



I could hunt with a 325WSM
