Send the guys who are thinking of buying all those camo Savage Axis on Bass Pro and Cabelas Black Friday Sales over to read through these 7 pages first. There is something to be said for walnut or maple and blued steel.

These are some beautiful rifles. I only have one wood-stocked rifle, a Tikka T3X. It can't compete with these, especially with a big SWFA scope up top.

Both will set you up straight off the bench. The little 8 is under 6.5 pounds.

That looks like prickly pear range.

It doesn't compare to the rifles on this thread, but this is a rifle I love. First off, it was handed down by my Dad. It's a 1939 Remington 22 LR which was pretty beat up but has been cold-blued and refinished with BLO. The simplicity and feel of it gets me every time I pick it up:

I had 2 Sakos in college, one 222 mag and one 222 that were my first really accurate rifles. I saved $250 from summer work and bought a third, a Forrester action in the original stock that was a wildcat 6.5X284 (for that price I got dies and cases too!) traded them off over the years, wish I had kept at least one! Kept me collecting wildcat rifles ever since.

One of the great bargains, Sako with a Marlin label!

Two of my favorites, a Model 94 deluxe take down with exhibition wood and pencil carbine length barrel in 30-30, a Model 70 Super grade 257 Roberts ca. 1952, fancy wood for a super grade so probably special order. Shot two white tails with 94 and 3-4 with the 257 then they became safe queens.

Three amigos, Ballard 40-65, 45-70 (middle stainless BBL) and 22 LR (my favorite) the 22 and 40-65 are identical in weight and balance so I could switch match events (silhouette) and have the same "feel" all are less than 1 moa with open sights, the 40-65 and 45-70 don't even settle down until 200 yards.

I love the wood on my 275.

Yeah, his forum name should be Sharps, not Shrapnel.
