Veddy nice. All appear to be very early 50's models (50-53), but you don't specify. I love me some target rifles... You should post pics of how well they shoot too. Do you ever shoot them with iron sights? Or do you have the original irons for them? Anyone can shoot good groups with scopes, but it takes a little more skill with irons. Having just had a rimfire shoot yesterday and using my model 52B, reminds me of your cool target rifles pictured. Thanks for sharing..

Very nice.

As target rifles. Do they have anything special not evident in pictures? Such as special bedding, or other parts or modifications?

Rule, p. 178
“Target Trigger. On Target Rifles, special attention was taken to hone and polish the trigger bearing point at the sear. When completed, the trigger was identified, sometimes by a lower case ‘t’, sometimes by the entire word ‘TARGET’ and most often by an upper case ‘T’.”

That's spectacular!
They lavished some serious attention back then.

Dug around and found pic of 243 and 300 H&H.

Both now wear 2" Unertls as well.

I had a chance to buy a .220 Swift target model about a year ago that while it wasn't a good deal (price was fair though), the gun was in great condition. I really, really regret not buying that rifle.

Very nice collection of high condition Target Rifles, bet it took awhile to put those together.

The top gun is a mid-60’s Target Rifle. Push feed, chambered for 308 Win., rubber pad and sliding hand stop adjustment rail. Really surprised that BSA mistook it for a early 50’s gun.

Just added another in 30-06. Not factory stock but only paid 3X what the sights are worth.

Very nice. Do you just collect them, or do you also shoot them??

I imagine your nice Winchesters should do better.. I damned near bought an old Remington 40x competition rifle at our clubs last gunshow, but then again it was a Remington. Had it been a model 70, I probably would have taken it home..

When a guy says target, he should post some. Just sayin.

It is sad, even your buddy rost hasn't beaten my iron sight score. Just sayin. I believe he was a camp perry shooter? I may be wrong. You can always step up to the plate, as I've offered before, but I don't think that will happen. A lot of talk though..

Yeah you are a legend alright.. lol.. I have yet to see you go anywhere and shoot besides your secret gravel pit and your local gun club where they have a picture of you at the front gate..their is no doubt you are a pretty good shot, but you are far from the best. The day you sling up or shoot off a bipod and shoot a 600yd match and shoot 200-20x then you will have our attention. In the meantime give it a rest, about guys posting pictures.

nyny: You are new hereabouts so I am going to take it easy on you - this time!
Your bizarre, baseless and overly inclusive statement that "there is NO sense in owning a gun you don't shoot" is not only incorrect it is naive and close to being stupid.
I have a couple hundred guns I don't shoot and they give me great pleasure in owning them and watching them appreciate in value over the years.
I love to buy/chase/trade for guns I have NO intention of shooting!
I have done this for over half a century so far and the fun and pleasure (and pride!) in acquiring these guns is worth so many things to me, personally.
In fact I am headed out today (once my Varminting partners leave town) to check on a collection of Winchesters that have come up for sale - somewhat certain that I won't be shooting ANY of them that I may acquire!
I own guns made by Winchester, Sako, Kimber of Oregon, Colt (both pistols and Rifles), High Standard, Smith & Wesson, Browning, Marlin, Anschutz and Weatherby that I have NO intention what so ever in shooting!
And that fact does not diminish my pride in ownership or their continued appreciation in value.
Again your bizarre statement is just wrong, on so many levels!
If you wish to shoot every firearm you own I say get after it and make yourself happy, but you trying to cast aspersions on those who DON'T shoot every firearm they own is laughable.
Enjoy.
Hold into the wind
