Great pictures Buffy! Awesome stuff right there! What a great pic!!! 80s? Thanks. Yes that rifle was good to me in the '80s, as were the Montana Unlimited bighorn sheep units... And it still worked in the '90s with a plastic stock...

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I think that some of you fellers have far more money than I do! Looking at some of these rifles makes me think about the “trophy wife” …..they look great but ain’t good for much other than their looks!
Our definition of a “hunting rifle” varies greatly from dome’s vision! I see a “hunting rifle” as a tool, something to use…..not baby when hunting!
I know that I ruffled some feathers, that was not my intention ….merely a poor boys observation! memtb

I do but some tools at Home Depot and other places that provide decent quality tools! By the way….your recently posted rifle photo showed a good tool. Or, at least the US military thought it was! memtb

I know that I ruffled some feathers, that was not my intention ….merely a poor boys observation! memtb Another observation....... I happen to enjoy "investments that shoot". I rarely buy new or commission customs. Rather I try to buy at 40% to 60% of MSRP. Remington Model 7, Custom Shop, 7mm-08. I use them, but do not abuse them. Remington 700 Custom Shop, 300 Win Mag. I find that it is hard to lose by making a profit, and at which time should I become financially embarrassed or tire of said rifle, it usually is not hard to find someone that it will follow home. ya!

Someone said: "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly rifle." Although I don't have the finest examples, I am grateful for what I've been blessed with. I do admire those presented in these pages from Shrapnel's older gems to geedubya's newer works of art and all the other fine ones. Thanks for showing them fellers, I for one love to see them!
