Here's a Rem 700 SPS VS Stainless Special Cabelas Edition in .22-250 that I bought a few years ago.

A pair of Rem 700s. One a Varmint Special in .25-06 the other a Classic in .300 H&H.

Winchester Stealth in .308 Win.

joed · January 19, 2015, 09:46 PM

Not a particularly good photo but a Winchester Featherweight Stainless in .243 Win.

Picher · January 27, 2015, 10:33 AM

Savage99: During the warmer months last year, I nailed three coyotes feeding on blueberries along the edge of our commercial field, a couple of woodchucks near the barn, and a couple of crows.

I don't do lots of serious hunting just take long walks and carry the Rem LV or some other rifle.

Magnum Wheel Man · May 20, 2015, 07:59 AM

this thread seems to have dropped off the radar...

I was finally able to get that 308 & it's getting close to customized like I wanted...

so here's a new pic of my ( non Czech ) completed sporting bolt action rifle collection with the 308 added...

riche · May 20, 2015, 08:05 PM

My latest purchase about a month ago, Mossbergs new Patriot rifle, in 25-06 rem.

CowTowner · May 21, 2015, 09:01 AM

Custom built Dumoulin Mauser in 35 Whelen.

Unlicensed Dremel · August 28, 2015, 09:50 AM

Newer pic... just turnbolts, including a "bolt action" muzzleloader (not *really* a bolt action, but....). Note that the bolt handle is "open" on the ML in the pic, so you can just barely make out the round handle end.

Do believe I'm all set for all hunting & varminting scenarios now. That's been a long time coming (decades).

Post or PM if you want/need details on these - I'm not gonna waste space unless someone is interested to know. Well, I'll at least throw out the chambering lineup: Two .22lrs, a .50 cal ML, a .17 Hornady Hornet, a .223 Rem, Two .243 Wins, a 6.5mm-'06, a .280 Rem, a .30-'06, and a .375 H&H Mag.

Cowtowner, very nice!

joed - 4th from bottom - exact same as yours! Makes heart go pitter patter.

Magnum Wheel Man · August 28, 2015, 10:10 AM

nice...

... but why the doubling up on some calibers??? of do you have family that may hunt with the same rifle caliber??

Unlicensed Dremel · August 28, 2015, 10:31 AM

No, just me (possible wifey someday?). The lighter .243 is just a "deer rifle". The heavier one is dedicated to 75 gr varmint loads -- a long range varminter.

The multiple .22lrs - that's my only "collection weakness". Not a believer in collecting generally (used to be). Now, everything has to have a purpose - but the only exception is 16" single shot .22lrs (have 3 total; 1 is not a bolt action single shot, so not in the pic - the two in the pic are both bolt action single shots and youth versions too).

But, also, one of the .22s (the Marlin 915 YS) is dedicated to Aguila Super Colibris, for ultra-quiet suburban pests (grackles, pigeons, etc). The rest redundant general hunters.

The .50 Cal ML, the .375 H&H, and both .22lrs there have BUISes.

I also have a .22 magnum rifle (combo gun), but it's a single shot break action, not single shot bolt action like the .22lrs, so it also didn't make that particular pic of "turnbolts".

Say, Magnum Wheel Man, on that subject, could you post make, model, chambering and scope for all 14 yours in that last pic, if you want to, or at least chamberings? Cut & paste from page 4, then update. Or just tell us the new one.

Thanks.

Also, Westcoaster, I forgot to ask:

Quote:

This my goto rifle. It started life as SS Model 70 Classic and then got a #4 weight, sporter contour, Pacnor SS supermatch grade barrel screwed on, The action was trued, the bottom metal was changed out with Williams SS one piece with the Obendorf style plate release, a Williams spring steel extractor, a Mcmillan "hunter" stock, topped with a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32 scope on Nightforce rings. The picture is from earlier in its evolution and shows it with a different scope, the original stock and bottom metal.

How about a chambering on that one?

Awesome; thanks.

But...

"7mm magnum"

Which 7mm magnum would that be: WSM, RSAUM, RUM, Dakota, Weatherby, .28 Nosler, or STW?

Here's a couple more pics.

Rimfire Longguns (Five .22lrs, and One .22 mag / Three single shots, one repeater, and two combo guns). The cloth tape on the Hot Shot is for grip - it's a slippery sucker without the tape:

"Other-Than-Turnbolt" Big game hunting guns (10" .357 Maximum and 16" .30-30 Win):

22 CB short brain shot on a moving target

upstate81 · September 7, 2015, 07:12 PM

Very nice Winchester there Clark

Clark · September 7, 2015, 09:25 PM

upstate81,
Over the last 52 years I have collected dozens of 22 rifles, and THAT one is my favorite. I have killed a lot of stuff with a Rem 572 pump, my second favorite design, but the Win 61 with shorts is more reliable when shooting straight up.

upstate81 · September 7, 2015, 09:36 PM

They really are sweet little shooters. My dad has a .22lr and a .22mag model. They are my favorite guns to shoot.

Clark · September 7, 2015, 10:54 PM

We are still looking for the 22 mag model

upstate81 · September 8, 2015, 06:33 AM

He lucked upon his at a cabelas in georgia i believe. As I recall it wasnt exactly a steal per say. However, he just had to have it.

Unlicensed Dremel · September 16, 2015, 12:45 PM

"sorry... edited to say...7mm Remington Magnum"

You're a good man.

Yeah, nice Winchester pump - gotta love old school rimfires.

Goodwrench, forgot to mention - it's nice to see someone with a .25 Souper - a great efficient wildcat round that never caught on but should have (and would have but for .257 Robts' popularity).

Unlicensed Dremel · September 18, 2015, 08:09 PM

Hey godale, if you edit your posts above in this manner, then your pics will appear "in the thread" instead of just being linked:

1. Right-click then "copy" the link that is on the existing post.
2. Click edit the existing post.
3. In the tool bar at the top, click on the square icon that looks like a mountain with a sun in in, to the left of the quote icon.
4. When the dialogue box appears, right click then hit "paste" in the empty space where it says "http://"
5. Hit ok, then save the edited post.

So with fall big-game seasons being upon us, anyone new here have some new pics to add? Who wants to challenge MWM for supremacy?

Magnum Wheel Man · October 5, 2015, 06:31 AM

do I need to take pics of my CZ rifles to stay on top???

Unlicensed Dremel · October 5, 2015, 12:04 PM

Yes, sir - I think you'd better, just to fire a shot across the bow....
