Marlin 336 30.30 made in 1953. That gun was simply made for me! I can't imagine a rifle handling any better when on the move.

Right behind it is an FN Model 70 Featherweight in .270 WSM. This rifle is amazing! Everyone that shoots it loves it.

Husky 1640 6.5x55, early 1940's I think, properly tweaked by last owner w/ LaPour 3-way and irons removed. FX-II 3x20mm. Honest-to-God hunting rifle and a joy to carry.

That said, I just picked up a LH Stiller with a Lilja #2, Jewell trigger, and stuck in an EDGE that I'm really liking a lot.

Will have to shoot exceptionally to supplant the KoO however.

Oh, the Stiller is chambered for the classically superb .270 WCF!


but i got the blue swede that u will never own smile

The one that leaves my safe the most often is my '50 Marlin 336A 35 Remington, with the vintage Weaver K-4 on top and puting the 200 CoreLoct's where I want them to go it's hard to beat!

I had to go back and check, yep, two 'similar' threads, no criticism.

THIS thread:

My favorite rifle -- Win 70 XTR Featherweight.

I like others as well but that '81 style stock & checkering just lights my fire.

THAT !!

In yrs past I was ADDICTED to the Rem M 6 pumps. Still really like them and have 'some'.

But I have fallen head over heels for the 'CLASSY', slim, trim, svelte, CURVACEOUS Featherweight.
(really don't mean to be redundant)

Is that one that Jan re-did the bolt handle on, when he was still with Martini Gunmakers?

One of mine has an original ZG-47 bolt handle done that way by them, I like it, but, have found a couple of longer Obie-style bolt handles and am having these installed on a couple of my other 21/22 rifles.

I still prefer the factory "round bolt" in these to any other rifle I have ever seen and the one I have is well used, pristine bore and shoots like the proverbial lazer.

To date, I have owned 8 of these superb little rifles, kept 6 as a couple had minor cosmetic issues and I have several ZGs as well. I have never seen an original 7x64B, I would do almost anything to get one of those actions to go with the ZG action I have to build a pair in 7x64B and 9,3x64B......great stuff,eh! smile

That's the one. Wish he wasn't so far away!
I am currently getting an original round bolt, single trigger 21H 8x57IS worked on by my local gunsmith, dropped it off last week to get a NECG three position locking safety and bolt shroud installed. When it's done it just might be my new "favourite"!
but if I could find a ZG47 in 9.3x62 I might have to reconsider that...

Mine was my Vanguard S2 in 257Wby. I made the mistake of letting one of my best friends borrow it. He said I couldn't have it back and would have to accept cash instead.

I'm ok with it, kinda been wanting to upgrade to a 257Wby in a Mark V action anyway. Just haven't seen the right one pop up in the classifieds. If I'd known mine wasn't coming home, I would have jumped on Safariman's custom Pre-64 when it came back up for sale a few weeks ago!


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Mine would be a tossup of Ruger tang safety ultralight in .257 Roberts or my Rem Mountain Rifle blue/walnut in 30-06.

For sentimental reasons the 336, 30-30 Marlin I got from my parents at the age of 12. Then it was a 338-06 Weatherby SBGM that converted me to a bolt gun guy. For the last couple of seasons it has been a Weatherby SS Carbine in 7mm-08. Now I have another 7mm-08 coming soon bought off the fire that may take its place, you never know.

I'm fortunate to own some nice hunting rifles so, this is a tough one. My favorite is probably my pure stock Ruger 358 Win M77 Hawkeye. It shoulders well, it is a pleasure to shoot and, reloading accurately for this caliber is quick and easy. A close second is my CZ 550 American in 9.3x62....it is almost a toss-up.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
