Show us your good old fashioned hunting rifle

[orygun]

This thread's all about your hunting rifle. Let's see what you're hunting with.

When I was a kid lever guns and bolt actions were the standard. Everything was blued and walnut. In my mind that's the emotional choice, but synthetic and stainless certainly have their place in the field.

I thought about this when I picked up a new to me Winchester in 257 Roberts. I think i can put this to work.



I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's!

Incredible wood! Which chambering?

 

[Stomper]

Sorry, all my bolters are synthetic stocked…

My .308 Ruger American w/ Luepold VX-II….


It's only been shot once in the field while hunting, and killed once.



My .308 Tikka T3x CTR w/ Luepold VX-III LRP. It's my 1000 yd capable thumper and hasn't been "blooded"….. yet.

From the late 50's through the late 90's, this was Dad's hunting rifle. He didn't use the scope, I just set it out for the pic. No4Mk1T. Dad cut the wood and added the Williams peep. It's been mine for 5 years now and I still haven't shot it. I need to "get around" to that, I 'spose.


ps. sorry for the crap picture, but you can still see the mark from riding in the rack of the pickup.

HOLY CARP!! She's allowed to go out in public like that? Simply stunning.

@orygun

Heck yes! Quit putting it off! That rifle would be a hoot to shoot give all the history and connection you have to it. Once you do I'm betting you will have a "why did I wait so long" moment!

By the way, I love my Winchester M70 Classic in .257 Roberts. I'm guessing you will love yours to. Such a great balanced round in one of the most balanced rifles ever.

Merry Christmas All

Yeah, it will. In all honesty I should hunt elk with it. That would be fitting.

Merry Christmas, NWFA.

Jim's phone has been disconnected and he is no longer in business. He was a national treasure to the rifle community.

Love the old model 70's

Here is my 1953 Winchester model 70 featherweight in 308 and my 1954 model 94 30-30 . The model 94 has a lot of time in a saddle .
