Bob helped keep a lot of us grounded! I have a pre 64 fwt 270 in a mcmillan compact edge I call Bob's gun! That nice rifle of whitebird's with the big moose rack would be easy enough to keep hold of too and provides some inspiration on direction of the next rifle for me! I just did a similar move myself. He was a use PoundR fan but the Compact EDGEs are a better fit.

This one of Whitebird's is pretty damn nice! Speaking of which, you have a wood stocked 30-06 I’d take for a walk!

There are several guys on here whose rifles I really like, but if I was going to pick one or two rifles out of someone’s cabinet and take them home it would be ChetAFs.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

A certain someone’s 6mm BR Kimber Montana seems like a sweet little rig.

It would be soooooo cool to have one of Stick's rusty clunkers with the bbl hack sawed off. You'd have to clean the beer and cigarette smell off it though.

Phil Shoemaker has an Adolf Minar 30/06 sporter that he almost sold last winter. I was in the middle of buying my house but god I was tempted. I might have been living in a tent but that is still heck of a rifle. Michael Petrov used to post on here and he had Wundhammers, Owens and some Barry Worthen rifles that were pretty freakn nice.

I like this thread! From a lust standpoint, I'd be happy to just be standing close to nearly anything in EdM's safe. However, whenever holding that Rigby or the Whelen, I'd better be wearing a condom. From an eminently practical standpoint, my predilections would be very much satisfied with the .300 Savage that Steelhead put together: Remington 700, Douglas stainless barrel cut to 21" measures .6" at the muzzle but keeps the Remington type taper/contour. McMillan Hunter's edge with Leupold 2-7x. All I run it is 130gr TTSX's in front of 44grs of H4895, just a hair under 3000fps. That would pack easily, in any weather, felling just about anything on this continent that I can afford to hunt, at the distances I shoot, and it keeps all the pain downrange, where it belongs. What's not to like? FC

Bingo. I have some odds and ends from Michael's estate that are slowly morphing into sporters he would have approved of.

Pretty much anything from Jgraider, scenarshooter, elkaholic and a few others. Also, anyone with a Blaser R93 with some extra barrels. That first pic of Whitebird's rifle would be nice, but, I'll be good and let jwall have that and take the second one.

There are some beautiful rifles in the favorite rifles thread that certainly should be people's favorites, but I'm kind of happy with mine. While they aren't fine custom rifles like some of those shown, they suit me just fine and I'm not interested in those that belong to others.
Sure is fun to look though...

That first pic of Whitebird's rifle would be nice, but, I'll be good and let jwall have that and take the second one. In reality I’d be very happy with either one. For the record. I’m very content with my arsenal It’s not a matter of ‘covet’, WE buy/trade for things we want. I’ve ONLY offered to buy a few rifles that I admire. Part of that is also to COMPLEMENT the owner.
