Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Question for all of us Blue and Wood fans?

What rifle do you think is a real fine looking weapon? If you already own it please post an image if you don't what would you consider buying. I still have an itch for a huntable beauty. I think some Ruger #1's and the new Cooper #54 would be a good start to look at. That's right need to see a little gun porn! Buckfever1

No pics, yet, but a Ruger no. 1 is in my very forseable future.

If that thing don't flip your switch you're dead.

Knock out Wood..Me I want a custom #1.

Guy, those are GORGEOUS #1s!!

Someday I'd love a little #1 in 7x57... I'd be happy w/ wood half as nice as that...

It's really hard to beat the '98 Masuser when it's slicked up a bit.

Adding a Mannlicher stock to one don't hurt either!

Hmmm. All those fine looking rifles and I saw not one ding/scratch of any of them.I'd be ashamed to show mine becasue of it.Are those actual rifles used in the field?

I used this one, one time only, on an elk hunt- took the biggest bull of my life.

Some folks don't beat the hell out of their equipment when they use it.

Just becuase you don't see enough dings in the above rifles to suit you, does not mean they have not been used.

My Cooper 57M Custom Classic 22 lr.

I don't own this rifle but I was given the pictures for posting on another forum - the rifle is a Sako L 57 based custom in 6.5x57 built by the firm of Dorleac in France. The rifle is unusual in having a stainless steel barrel that was blued using a proprietary process by Boener in Germany. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Good hunting, everyone!

well, here's a factory remington 7x57 classic with the most awesome piece of wood i've seen on a factory gun.


and 2 pics of my 280ai.

Lots of good choices, but if I wanted a nice wood stocked factory rifle. A Merkel KR-1 Stutzen would be on my short list.

For a custom, the one mehulkamdar pictured would work just fine for me.

#1V - 22-250, factory wood, and 3 consecutive 100 yard groups

I love blued steel and beautiful wood, but over the last dozen years, I've come to appreciate low maintenance stainless and synthetic for woodland hunting.
