The rifle I could live happily ever after with is my Kimber Montana 7wsm. 160xlc's. 6x42&CDS. Nothing fancy, but I feel I could take it anywhere.

That appears to be a very BIG bodied whitetail! Way too big for a .243 to kill shocked

Hows this for a delayed response?

Sorry about that....didn't check back in on the thread till today..

The "boring" rifle mentioned is an off the rack Mark X Mauser in .30-06....no makers involved, I rasped the stock into shape,shortened and put on an ebony forend, Bbl sling swivel, english red pad, and re-did the checkering. Nothing fancy I assure you. Topped it off with a 1-4X Leupold....it is accurate and utterly reliable..
Another pic...

Great minds think alike. My Montana is at Pac-nor getting a new 7 WSM barrel right now, should be delivered any day, can't wait. It'll wear this stock when it gets here:

Ingwe,
Not bad looking. Needs a purple and pink swirley paint job. smirk
