Here are my Stevens 200's or as I like to call them Savage "Tinker Toys".

Stevens 200 stagger feed .250-3000 Savage, Vortex Viper 2-7X32, SSS Tac bolt handle, SSS Competition trigger, and pillar and glass bedded B&C Carbelite stock.





Stevens 200 centerfeed 6X47 Rem, Leupold VX II 4-12X40, SSS tac bolt handle, SSS Competition trigger, SSS Competition recoil lug, and painted factory stock.





Stevens 200 centerfeed, .223 Rem, tuned 3 screw trigger from NSS, Redfield Revolution 2-7X 33 (originally Nikon UCC 2-7X32). I bought this one for me to play with but my daughter wound up stealing it from me to slay deer with after I shortened up a factory stock to 12.5" LOP.





More later.

Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 7mm08. Barrel was cut and recrowned to 20". Badger Bolt Knob, Timney Trigger, B&C Light Tactical Medalist stock, Mossy Oak Bottomland dip job, Tactical Works Stockpack, DNZ Gamereaper mount, Wyatt Outdoor DBM kit. Now with a Trijicon 4X20X50 Amber post optic. Also barrel and metal work has been Duracoated with a rattle can mesh camo paint on top.


Waiting on Buds to get my 700 Long Range in 7mmMag back from Remington to ship. They sent it back for the trigger work recall, sucks because I have the Timney that will go in it sitting at home. Everything else will be the same except the optic which is to be decided and the finish.

Guys seeing all you VERY NICE rifles makes me ashamed for posting mine...lol. You guys have custom builds etc etc but here is my main hunting rig.

Its a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 Winchester and is as stock as it came out of the box. I haven't even adjusted the trigger. but it shoots amazing. It has a butler creek sling and a Redfield 3-9x42 scope mounted in the factory rings. It shoots my handloaded 130gr Accubonds into very little groups at 3019fps. Here is a pic

Thanks Dremel that made me smile. I agree that group is actually one of the larger ones I shot with this rifle using my "recipe". This was the pic I took of my first 3 round group after I found " the load" I made up 9 rds and purposely shot them in differing wind and weather conditions. The last 3 round group I shot a week before deer season measured .317 sadly there isn't a pic of that.

The exact count will never be known by anyone, for fear my wife will find out. I'm no where near her shoe count though.

Now for my Military Sporters, US made:

1903-A3 Springfield sporter in .338-06, Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8X36 scope, 24" Lilja fluted barrel.





1903 Springfield sporter, Leupold VX III 2.75-6X33 scope, don't know who made the barrel.



It is undergoing some minor renovations, but new job and moving has it on hold for awhile.


1917 Enfield rechambered to .300 H&H with VX III 2.5-8X36 Leupold.

Can only post six pictures per post so here is part deux.

1894 Springfield Krag in .30-40 US. Smoothest working bolt action I've ever handled.

Roger that, lol. Never had a Krag, but one had an 1888 Commission rifle and that was the smoothest bolt action I ever owned.

You've seen most of my bolts, now my levers. I have a thing for straight grip Marlins. There are 2 Winchesters in there but the rest are Marlin. Most of these aren't exactly rare, but are uncommon. The best blend of features between Marlin and Winchester.

The one on the far left is one of only 500 made in 2005 in 35 Rem. The short barreled trapper near the right side is one of only 2700 made in 1988-89.



My 2 favorites, a Marlin and Winchester made in 1958, the year I was born.

Here's my CZ527 in 7.62x39 carbine with a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 It's used as a all around every day rifle. I shoot steel case import, American brass case and reload both jacketed & cast. does great with all of them. The jacketed reloads shoot the best. I mostly hunt deer and hogs with It out to 200yds.

This is my rimfire hunter, a CZ 452 American in .22lr with a Leupold VX2 4-12x40 cds a real tack driver.

Very nice! C'mon now, folks - I must have more, more, more!

And yeah, love those levers, JMR - although I like both straight and "p-grip" stocks equally on levers. Wait, the 4th levergun from the right - what in tarnation is that sacrilege in two parts on top of that receiver?

Time for the younger generation to step in!

My two hunting rifles are as follows:

M91/30 Mosin Nagant Izhevsk 1941 model
In use it for coyote and deer.
Here it is in the field.


And finally, my Remington Model 700 chambered in the Greatest Short Action rifle caliber for whitetail, err....I mean .260 Remington, (have to do a little bragging now!) However sadly unpopular .
This is me shooting at a deer with it.

Now for my commercial Mausers.

High Tech Customs built .25-06 on Zastava action with Set triggers. 26" Lilja #5 contour barrel and Bushnell 4200 4-16X40 AO. First pic was when I got it back from getting the new barrel and didn't have the proper scope mounts yet.





HVA 6.5-06 or at least it was now it is just an action and new stock waiting for a .257 Roberts barrel.





Kevin Weaver built Mini Mauser in .250 Savage, 22" Pac-Nor 1:10 twist barrel, High Tech Specialties stock. I bought this for my daughter to use deer hunting, but she just won't give up on her .223 for that task.

Rimfires too?

I'm loving the Ruger American Rimfire compact models. 18" barrels, easily turned triggers and good synthetic stocks make for some of the best field guns on the market, and the price is excellent as well.

Top down, .22LR, .17HMR and .22WMR:
