Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your "Holy Grail" gun?

I enjoy looking at nice guns,but I'm too rough on 'em to own one.As far as "my one gun" it'll have to be this,a REAL accurate No.1 in 270 Wby.It has an aftermarket set trigger and wears an AV Swarovski 3X9.



It,and a Mark V in 257 Wby go to my son and his son when I check out.Ain't either of them ever likely to handload so the wildcats go to other kids and grandkids.[unless I decide to have my 22 250 Ackley buried with me! ]

Killed my first deer at 7 with a borrowed Winchester 94 Ranger in .357 Mag. I guess THAT particular gun would be my holy grail but it was a borrowed rifle & I have no idea who dad had borrowed it from. For now I have a fine Marlin 1894C in .357 that after a bit of custom work I've managed to make it my favorite of the many fine firearms I own. A fine, accurate rifle that will take anything from squirrels to deer & makes a fine home defense long gun.
