Have to say there are some absolutely gorgeous rifles on display in this thread.
Mine not so much, but it is functional and that's what I wanted. It was my first 600-yard clay pigeon shooter.
Interarms Mark X action, 6.5-06AI Krieger barrel, Timney trigger, Boyd stock, Burris FF-II 4.5-14x Ballistic Plex scope.
The dark black line in the center is the shadow of the 500-yard target boards. The lighter dark line above it is the shadow of the 600-yard boards.
This rifle has become the favorite of a couple daughters. They haven't mastered hitting clays at 600 but they consistently come very close. (Dumping the Ballistic Plex reticle for turrets, or zeroing one of the aim points at 600 would be a big help - interpolating between the lines is a bit iffy for clays.)

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
1- A DWM Original Sporting Rifle. A 7x57 "Plezier" like Mauser that never went to South Africa but was bought here in Argentina by my Great-grandfather. Still in use...!
2- A 1935 Mauser originally 7,65x54 Mauser but now a 7x57. All military: Action, stock and a Steyr 1912 barrel.
In the next post, my most recent adquisition:
3- A FN-Akha .30-06. Almost un-used by the previous owners.
This thread is exactly what I've been looking for! I just received, for Christmas from my father, my late grandfather's 1895 Mauser sporterized in 243-a truly sentimental gift to receive. It's difficult to read the model number, possibly due to the rust that was removed when Flaig rebuilt it to 243, though I'm sure it says Model 50. I'm just impressed with how amazing everyone's rifles look..here's 2 different pics of mine:
An old thread from last year - missed it then but here is a commercial mauser I've had kicking around for a few years. The stock has quite a bit of drop in it and would probably work better with open sights, but my aging eyes do better with a scope:
