"pretty" rifles

IMG_20211031_093902926.jpgI have a terrible weakness for back action hammer guns with pistol grips, vs. straight grip. This one's not a rifle, side by side 12 gauge w/2.5" chambers with a ruffed grouse from a few weeks ago. Insane how inexpensive old European hand engraved and mostly hand-made guns are.mulcaz.jpg
And this is half a rifle, 20 gauge by 8x57JRS that just arrived. Claw mount scope that's, frankly, way too big of an objective but still rock solid. Still learning this one.

Stunner! I hunted with a few drillings long ago and now have a combo (just posted).

Lived in Germany for 3 years. I regret not bringing back more!

Absolutely gorgeous. Love that set.

I have a few that I really like. I'm a sucker for laminates.

Recently I replaced the ugly boat paddle stock on my late fathers Ruger with a new Boyds.Ruger1.jpgRuger2.jpg

I didn’t know they made rails for Sako’s. How about a link to your picture post? Thanks.
