700 BDL I put together as a gift to my brother in law. I love these old Remingtons.

My 700. DM in 30.06. Like many pretty things, it looks good wet.

Decker9, that is one of the coolest collections of hunting rifles I've seen in a while, thanks for sharing those. I do have a couple of questions. How is that lee enfield anchored at the tang ? And did you run your 96 swede with iron sights goat hunting?

This thread is SO good- keep em coming!

Thank you!! The majority of grandads gun room was sold off after he past, but we did keep a few of his personals.

On the Enfield, Iv never had it apart so I’m not to sure. I haven’t shot it for a lot of years. On the Swede, I haven’t shot it in many years either. I took the scope off of it for a different rifle, my daughter will be big enough to shoot it in another year or two, hopefully she will take her first game animal with it.

Wow! I would've loved to have seen the "majority" that was sold.....

It would have to be my blazer bergstutzen. Chambered in 5.6x50r/7x65r.

Couldn't imagine life without a few lookers on the shelf. I was very fortunate to spend my childhood at my grandads stock building bench, though I was young, my eyes and ears were always focused and curious.

This first is a custom is a .458wm that I inherited, my grandad built years ago for an African hunt. Iv owned it for 20+ years, and have only fired 2 rounds from it. The old steel but plate didn’t feel well on my boney shoulders, one day I’ll put a recoil pad on it

Next is another custom he built, off of a zg47, and chambered in .280 rem. Ignore the terrible finishing job, it was my first attempt at re finishing a stock years ago. I’ll re do it here some day. My dad took his first moose with this rifle back in the 60’s, when it was still a 7x57.

Next is my first ever hunting rifle. Built for me when I was 7, and took my first goat with it at 8. A hair over 6lbs, a Mauser 96 chambered in 6,5x55 AI.

Not a custom, but a looker non the less. Chambered in 9.5x57 (aka .375 rimless nitro express).

Your grandpa had some great taste and talent!

Yes

 

[HuntInWild88]

Love the K95. I still need one!

 

[HighUintas]

Yes

Awesome. How do you like it? I found a new in box L61r mannlicher in 338 mag for $2100. I've been thinking I need it!

 

[25orSo]

I have two Featherweights, one in .30-06, the other .257; I have to resist the urge to gather up more of them

My first and so far only Featherweight is a 300WSM. A 257 Roberts would be wonderful to have next to it.

I wouldn't pass on a 25-06 either.....

Gotta dig around some some rifle pics, but a shotgun of for now! A gift from my wife.

I'm just going to reply here so I can get notifications on this thread. WOW!

 

[HighUintas]

Those blasers are super sexy. I bet I will never be able to afford one though

 

[HuntInWild88]

my blaser R8 configured in 7mag with a swarovski Z8i 2.3-18x56.
It's my favorite to shoot.
