I did something similar to make a lowly 700 ADL look a little more interesting. No it ain't on the same level as some of the work previously posted, excepting maybe Steelhead's Savage, but she's mine and I use the schit outa her.
Teflon coated, maple stock, Lilja stainless barrel, .264 Win Mag I may have shown about a couple dozen times around here. My raghorn slayer.



And who says 27.5" barrels are no good for swinging on running deer in big Maine woods?

That's my second favoritest rifle.

Don't have pic yet, but out of US production products, I'd have to say any of the Shiloh Sharps line. Those folks can mesh wood and steel like the finest English makers.

I like the Ruger # 1 lines, and own two of them. Again, great lines, but any close inspection clearly shows a rather sloppy meshing of wood and metal especially around the receiver.

This has been on before. It's a Yugo 24/47 converted to a 240 Weatherby. I did the wood work.

I like it!

Just about the plainest wood to be found on a Number One . Actually , the fore end is from a different rifle .This 'un is chambered for 270 Roy .

Its' beauty lies in how the set trigger sends the 130 TXXX exactly where the Swaro crosshairs happen to be at the time . And it does this time and again from a cold , fouled , barrel .

So ; not pretty ,but ------ it IS blue and wood

My 1964 Burgess Mauser 98 in 7mm Rem Mag with a 2.5-8 Balvar scope on an adjustable Buehler mount. Not as pretty as some posted here (some spectacular rifles!), but I love this Mauser and have total confidence in it. Oh, and though there are some scratches that don't show up in the pics, the rifle has been hunted hard in and out of a scaboard, but I also am very careful with and take good care of my guns and equipment. My hunting buddy, not so much...

I dropped this one off at the smith today to have a new tube screwed on, chambered in 257 Roberts with a 1-9" twist. The 30/06 was a bit much for the steel butt and a Roberts in a 98 action seems about right.

You're leaving it standard ? No Ackley improvement ? For shame !

I really need to get some better pics of this one as these don't do it justice. Remington 700 35 Whelen a friend stocked for me.

I know, what the hell is wrong with me. There is something said for x57 cases as they are in a Mauser action.

I bet it's a winner.

I gave him 3 dummies loaded with 120gr Partitions.

Whilst factory all the way, no wood/blue thread is complete without a Savage 1899/99, in this case a pair chambered for 250-3000.

Sticking with the factory theme, how about my first M70 that I received this week.







Or a pair of Husqavarna rifles, albeit the half-stock model does have an Douglas 7x57 barrel.

I have a lot of trouble with lever guns.....it's a bad right hand....but if I could have any gun....
answer to this:

It'd be a Model 88 Winchester in .284.

That's a very nice gun IMO.

Sorry guys I couldn't help myself. Since we're talking wood. Here are my favorite pieces. My 3 Blacktail custom recurves.

Steely,

You're too modest. The rifle and pics are smashing!

Gorgeous!

As long as we're showing more than bolt actions. Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

Brno ZKK 600 7x57 Mauser with folding aperture in the rear bridge.

The final word hath been spoken.
