Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your Personal FAV.

I have seen that posted before. Beautiful rifle. I love the classy but basic look with the nice wood and matte finish metal. I don't know that I would even want it checkered.

A delightful thread. Like many I can't do just one. The first I always reach for though is my Guide Gun in 45/70. I fullstocked my oldSwedish Mauser a while back. Had for over 30 years. It deserves a good hunt now. 722 in Bob is up there too. My 280 on the Encore platform i a great one. Who knows? That Swedish Rolling Block out in the shop is getting new wood and sights. Throwing more than an ounce of lead is a wonderful thing.

Thinking exactly the same thing !

Today it would be the 7mm Mexican Mauser custom below. It just needs checkering to be finished...

That's a GOOD LOOKING piece of wood right there. > About the checkering.....

This is the only rifle I have w/o checkering. M 98, Boyd's stock, 284 W. I hunted and killed WT with it in 2017 -- Didn't notice... no checkering.

I have a nice custom Mauser 98 in 7x57 Mauser AI. Shilen barrel. 3100 FPS with a 140 grain Sierra. Very accurate
Most of my killing though, is with a Marlin 1894 .44 magnum lever rifle.

WHAT some mass !!!!!!!

I'm partial to the m1917 action, that has been sporterized properly. Having grown up with one, they just seem natural for me to use. The safety lever is very easy to manipulate, even though I shoot left handed. The m1917 rifles are my favorite and among my most trusted hunting rifles:

BSA Model D 30-06:


BSA Model E with a custom left hand stock. Soon to be chambered in 308 Norma magnum:


Sporterized m1917 30-06:


All excellent shooters and 100% reliable..

I know what y'all are saying. Every time I get ready to send it off to be checkered I put it back in the safe. I don't know that it will ever be "finished." I love a rifle with a fiddleback grain in the stock. The Husqvarna I showed has fiddleback grain from end to end if it is seen in the right light.

Jerry, that is a nice looking stock on your 284. It has the shape I like around the grip. I have a couple of 284's. I call them my only wildcats....7X6.5X284 Winchester, because of how I have to get the brass.

Thnx Mathsr

The wood doesn't have the best grain figure but it's there.

I don't like a tight wrist ( pistol grip) either. The shallow grip keeps my hand/wrist/forearm straighter. It's also more comfortable.

Looks Good !

Be careful about sitting it down in a shady wooded area. Might be hard to find.

I like IT !! I like the 300 TOOO !

For some unknown reason I just never got one of the Boat Paddle 77s.


Jerry

I like this one.

Shamelessly borrowed from G'dub !

Big stick will mosey on over now ! Lol

Elks - tell me about thatun !!

For me it's 100% utility and I could give 0 [bleep] about wood, fancy, etc! I've sold all my fancy rifles and hunt 99% with a 6.5 swede Tikka T3 stainless with a fixed 6 SWFA. My only other rifle is a 223 tikka with a SWFA superlite! Gitter Done!!!

What does get my goat is the hunt, stalk, outdoors, mountains and streams, good association, and meat in the freezer. I am sentimental just not in the materialistic sense
