Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Show a pic of the prettiest rifle you own....

Here's mine. Pachmayr Custom .280 Remington. 1909 DWM Argentine Mauser action, English walnut stock, Apex barrel, Canjar trigger, Win. style safety, jeweled bolt, Rem. Express iron sights, 26 LPI checkering, etc.

Had Pachmayr build it for me in 1978, when I lived in Los Angeles.

Shoots 3/4" groups consistently with my handloads.



Works for me.

L.W.

Stock was painted by Mr Bin himself.

That would work for me as well. Wow, nice rifle!

Ruger M77-MKII in .338 Win Mag. A fellow camper, Karnis, did the stock work. I think it looks great and it shoots well too.

Pretty is as pretty does... while not necessarily gorgeous in detail, it's beautiful in form and is beyond a joy to pack in the mountains:

I personally think the Kimber Montanas are some of the best looking rifles out there.

Here's a couple I like:

M-70 7mm Rem Mag Custom:






Pre-64 M-70 9,3x62 Custom:






What do you think about the Black and White? After re-reading Steven Dodd Hughes "Custom Rifles in Black and White", I thought I'd try a couple shots. Obviously I'm not to his levels but it was fun trying...............................DJ

Wow, DJ.
I really dig that 9.3X62 at the bottom, very nice indeed.

DJ, I knew you'd come through, don't shy away from posting any others!

DJ, I was thinken you had a very nice 338Win Toooooo....?

Here's a couple more pics:


Dakota Model 10 7mm Dakota:






Kimber 8400 French Walnut:

I kinda like those Kimber's DJ!

Dang DJ-every time you show that 10 I miss some sleep dreaming about the one I used to have.

Would love one in 7 Mashburn one of these days.

Thx again for sharing

You'd better at this point..

One more to keep this thread at the top. Husqvarna 1640 in .270Win. You guy's have seen it before but it still makes me smile when I pull it out of the safe

Seams like the majority of the scopes have a gold ring on them. hmmmm....

Thanks Terry, made me smile seeing the pic. Nice rifle!

Here's a pretty one that ain't got stink'n gold ring

BRNO ZG-47 in 8X64. 52 years old and still has it in spades. It's been hunted. This is one of the rifles I think about when I hear somebody say you gotta have stainless and plastic/form follows function/pretty is as pretty does and all the other buzz phases.




Thanks for the comment MagMarc. That was my "go to" rifle this year and it didn't disappoint.
