If it shoots like this it's pretty, I don't care what it looks like.

Here are a few I like to shoot. The rifles are custom made by Dennis Olson in Plains, Montana. They are: 6mm Remington, 220 Swift, .223 Remington, and a .222 Remington. These were made to shoot prairie dogs, and that is where I had them photographed. This was a great place to shoot, but now that the plague has killed them all off, I have to go with Mule Deer somewhere else to shoot. The shotgun is a Westley Richards 10 gauge with 32 inch barrels. It is an old Damascus with Stanton sidelocks. At 12 pounds, it is a bit much to carry all day. Here are 2 Colt's, both in 38-40, both with custom made buffalo bone grips. One is a first generation with a rare barrel length of 7 1/2 inches. This colt is another first generation with custom made 1 piece rosewood grips in 45 Colt.

Here is one of my favorites a Winchester high wall by the late Floyd Butler. Its a 219 Improved Zipper now. Someone opened it up from the R2 Lovell that Butler chambered. Im not sure why it struck me so strongly but this photo makes me long for summer. It just looks so warm.

I don't have a pic to post here, but for all the money I've spent on a couple of my rifles... I've got a Marlin 336, 30.30 with a Leupold FX-II 6x33 on a Leupold one-piece base, and leather cobra sling that's, to my eye, still the coolest looking of the lot. Go figure, eh? Gotta say, there's some might fine shootin' irons showing on this thread. Nothing like a fine rifle, is there! I am kinda proud of this puppy...

Mr. RAS; Thank you for the interesting thread and thanks to all who have responded. This is my candidate, an old No. 1 that I made up a different fore end for and added a Gentry barrel band and a Moyers trigger as well. Even though it's a bit heavy, sometimes it goes for walks with me and has put bullets into a couple of my biggest mule deer. Thanks again to all who have responded. Regards, Dwayne
