This rather crudely done Swede is one I recently picked up and have been having fun with. 100 yd groups run either side of 3/4" consistently with several bullets - ok for a 115 yr old rifle  . This is one of those $400 rifles someone spent money on to turn it into a $200 rifle. I was happy to drop the $200 - I haven't had it long enough to hunt with it yet but hope to change that... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/pre64model70/deefc8c5-374d-453a-9027-b7b80ae12f49_zpsb1a05256.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/pre64model70/20130811_143636_zps8af35fc9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/pre64model70/44f3521e-fdce-4b79-8c0d-c1ec3602faba_zpsd96e007a.jpg) [/quote]

I have several thousands tied up in guns, including a custom engraved 1903. My friend and hunting companion has a 7.7 Ariska, that has been customized just enough to work with a scope mounted on it. He kills two to four deer every year. If he has another deer rifle, I have never seen it. I think he laughs at my loony folly, but he is too polite to bring it up.

Anybody here remember the old Williams Gunsight Company book on sporterizing military rifles? I literally read mine to pieces back in the early '60s. I keep hoping to find one in flea market somewhere. They could really turn an old army rifle into a thing of beauty.
I saw an example of their recent custom work in a magazine not too long ago, and it looks like they still do some really nice work.
What fresh Hell is this?

Here's my Arisaka Type 99, chambered for the 300 Savage. Maybe not as classy as the others listed here, but it's a joy to carry. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h232/Jayhawker_photos/Arisaka99300Sav_zps1ada4405.jpg)
