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

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. Jerry

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.

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 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

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.

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

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
