WDM Bell's .275 and Selby's four-one-six without a doubt.

Tom Horn's Winchester would be neat,so would Custers rolling block, Hickoks Navy colts, and John W Hardins pocket guns, but my vote would be Hathcocks 06 and the MN rifle that the round went thru the scope Russ

I got to shoot Selby's .416 a few years ago, and have been to the O'Connor museum in Lewiston and seen some of the famous rifles, including Eleanor's.
My personal choice would be Bell's 6.5x54 carbine, custom-done by Fraser of Edinburgh.
In the 21st century many "famous" rifles will have synthetic stocks, but so far I haven't sen anybody list Layne Simpson's original 7mm STW.

You just made me throw up a little in my mouth regarding the STW.
6.5x64 or x54?

Not famous but I want to inherit my great grandpa's pre-64 Supergrade 458 Win Mag that has taken leopard, cape buffalo, giraffe, hippo, tiger, elephant, and just about every other animal in Africa. Not in the best shape but that doesnt matter to me. Its got stories to tell

First to mind was Finn Aagaard's old 375 WW Model 70, but if he did indeed have it buried with him, I could be happy with any one of his favorites...in his writings, it was often clear when he truly enjoyed a particular cartridge and rifle, usually a Mauser action...7x57s, 6.5x55s, 7-08. One in particular, I would like to hunt with was the 300WW he had made up on a Mauser. He spoke well of Model 70's and the Brno as well. All good for me. I'm easy. One of Bob Milek's 280's might be cool as well. 2 of my all time favorite authors.

Major Charles Askins, Sr.'s (Col. Charley Askins, Jr.'s Dad) personal 1932 Browning Superposed 28" bbl. 12 ga, solid rib with his specified custom chokes for Desert Quail. But, I already have that one, as pictured several times in books by the Col. with the Major holding or shooting this shotgun. Maj. Askins was one of the top shotgun authorities and was the highest paid gunwriter of his time. See www.shotgunworld.com, Browning Forum and 1933 Superposed, probably by now on page 4 or 5 of that Forum. Interesting stuff about the family and some of their guns. DF

JOC's 270, the others are interesting, but no desire to own them.
