What's your vote for the best looking stock factory rifle for UNDER $2K new? Under $1K new? First thing that comes to mind for me is the Ruger #1 in the first category, and nothing at the moment for the second. Need more tea ... I do not entertain hypotheticals.

Of new production I'll go with the Lipsey's Ruger African models, classic designs, nice and sleek. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
